You’ve Got Mail Remake Waiting in Warner Bros.’s Inbox
Paramount-Warner Bros. is developing a new version of Nora Ephron’s romantic comedy You’ve Got Mail, directed by Jason Orley. The project comes as the newly merged studio has committed to releasing 30 films a year, and the remake adds to that slate.
The story details are being kept under wraps, though the film may update its tale of online romance for today’s social media landscape. Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont, who wrote and directed Josie and the Pussycats, are writing the script. The 1998 film was itself a remake of The Shop Around the Corner, based on Miklós László’s play Parfumerie.
In short
- A new You’ve Got Mail is in development at Paramount-Warner Bros.
- Jason Orley will direct, with Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont writing.
- The 1998 film drew on a 1940 film and an earlier play.
