You’ve Got Mail reboot moves forward with new story
A modern version of Nora Ephron's 1998 film You've Got Mail is currently in development with a fresh plot and new cast.
New director leads the project
Jason Orley is directing and writing the current draft of this upcoming movie. He previously worked on Close Personal Friends, Bupkis, and I Want You Back. Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont have written the screenplay for the reboot. Original producers Neal Moritz and Tania Landau are returning to oversee production.
Original stars not attached yet
Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks are not currently involved in the new version of the film. The studio has not shared details on which other stars will feature in the project. Plot details remain under wraps as the team develops a story different from the original 1998 movie.
Source confirms plot changes
The Hollywood Reporter revealed that the new film will not follow the original movie's plot exactly. The original story featured an independent bookstore owner and a corporate bookshop magnate falling in love anonymously. This reboot will likely explore different themes for the modern era without remaking the classic tale.
