13 Going on 30 is still thriving.
Emily Bader and Logan Lerman are set to star in director Brett Haley’s feature reboot of the property for Netflix. Jennifer Garner, who starred in the original 2004 comedy, serves as executive producer on the new film.
Hannah Marks (Mark, Mary, & Some Other People) penned the script, with revisions by Flora Greeson (The Princess Diaries 3). The producers include Joe Roth and Jeff Kirschenbaum for RK Films.
“13 Going on 30 is one of those rare, perfect films,” Haley said in a statement. “Funny, emotional, deeply human, with unforgettable performances from Jennifer Garner, Mark Ruffalo and Judy Greer. I’m a longtime fan, so stepping into this reimagining comes with tremendous responsibility. Jennifer Garner being on board as an executive producer, after playing such a big part of what made the original special, is especially meaningful.”
Haley added, “I also couldn’t be more excited to reunite with Emily Bader after People We Meet on Vacation. She and the amazingly talented Logan Lerman are a magical pairing. I feel incredibly lucky to be trusted with something that means so much to so many people.”
More to come.
