1998 romcom 'You've Got Mail' is getting a reboot

The 1998 classic romcom You've Got Mail will be reaching a new generation, as Warner Bros. announced that a reboot is in the works.

According to a Deadline report, Jason Orley, the filmmaker behind I Want You Back (2022) and Big Time Adolescence (2019), is writing the draft, which is based on a previous screenplay by Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont (Can't Hardly Wait, Josie and the Pussycats).

Also on board as producers are Neal Moritz (Beach Read) and Tania Landau (21 Jump Street) under Original Film.

The 1998 film, directed by Nora Ephron, stars Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks as bookshop owners Kathleen Kelly and Joe Fox, respectively. The two exchange messages via AOL, not knowing about the other's true identity, and fall in love.

The movie also starred Parker Posey, Jean Stapleton, Dave Chappelle, Steve Zahn, Dabney Coleman, and more.

Inspired by Miklós László's play Parfumerie, You've Got Mail grossed over $250 million worldwide. 

Details about the reboot are still under wraps, and it's still unknown if Hanks or Ryan will return to reprise their roles, or how the story will change following advancements in social media.
