Jennifer Garner to produce '13 Going on 30' reboot starring Logan Lerman, Emily Bader
Get ready to be 30, flirty and thriving once again, because a beloved rom-com is getting a reboot.
Netflix announced Tuesday that "People We Meet on Vacation" director Brett Haley and original "13 Going on 30" star Jennifer Garner are giving the 2004 film a fresh remake.
Emily Bader, who played Poppy in "People We Meet on Vacation," will star in the new project alongside "Oh, Hi!" actor Logan Lerman.
Details about the upcoming project are still under wraps.
In a statement from Haley shared by Netflix, the filmmaker said, "'13 Going on 30' is one of those rare, perfect films. Funny, emotional, deeply human, with unforgettable performances from Jennifer Garner, Mark Ruffalo, and Judy Greer."
He added, "I'm a longtime fan, so stepping into this reimagining comes with tremendous responsibility."
Haley went on to say that Garner being part of the reboot as an executive producer is "especially meaningful" and that he is "excited to reunite with Emily Bader after 'People We Meet on Vacation.'"
"She and the amazingly talented Logan Lerman are a magical pairing," he said. "I feel incredibly lucky to be trusted with something that means so much to so many people."
Garner starred in the original "13 Going on 30" film as Jenna Rink, an unpopular 13-year-old who makes a wish on her birthday to be "30, flirty and thriving."
Her wish comes true, and she wakes up years into the future as the 30-year-old version of herself, where she is forced to come to terms with how her life has turned out.
Mark Ruffalo also starred in the film as Jenna's love interest Matt Flamhaff ("Matty"), and Judy Greer starred as Jenna's best friend Lucy.
Hannah Marks and Flora Greeson are slated to work on the new script, and Joe Roth and Jeff Kirschenbaum of RK Films will co-produce.
Along with Garner, Marks, Donna Roth, Susan Arnold, Scott Hemming for Revolution Studios and Alyssa Altman for RK Films will co-executive produce.
