‘You’ve Got Mail’ Reboot in the Works at Warner Bros.
Warner Bros. is developing a new film inspired by the 1998 romantic comedy *You’ve Got Mail*. It will tell a new story rather than remake the original, with Jason Orley directing and writing the current draft; the plot has not been disclosed.
The original film starred Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan as online pen pals who fall in love, unaware that their businesses are in conflict. It was based on Miklós László’s 1937 play *Parfumerie* and earned more than $250 million worldwide, unadjusted for inflation. Neal Moritz and Tania Landau, producers of the original, are returning for the new project.
In short
- Warner Bros. is developing a new *You’ve Got Mail* film.
- Jason Orley will direct and write the current draft.
