Hollywood to Remake ‘You’ve Got Mail’

Warner Bros. is developing a new take on the romantic comedy “You’ve Got Mail,” Variety reports.

Jason Orley, known for “Big Time Adolescence” and “I Want You Back,” will write and direct the film. The lead roles have yet to be cast.

Released in 1998, Nora Ephron’s “You’ve Got Mail” starred Tom Hanks as Joe, the owner of a bookstore chain, and Meg Ryan as Kathleen, who runs a small independent bookshop. Joe’s business threatens to put Kathleen out of business. Though the rivals despise each other in real life, they unknowingly strike up a lively online correspondence and fall in love.

The film became a box-office hit, earning $250 million worldwide. No release date has been announced for the remake.

Amazon MGM previously announced a reboot of “Serendipity,” which starred Kate Beckinsale.
