In Hollywood, so often it’s a case of what was once old is now new again – and today that has been reiterated by the news that Planes, Trains & Automobiles is getting remade with Will Smith and Kevin Hart.

Via Deadline, Paramount Pictures is now in development on a fresh spin on John Hughes’ beloved 1987 road trip movie. In Planes, Trains & Automobiles, Steve Martin and John Candy starred as unlikely travel partners who were forced together after their flights home for Thanksgiving were cancelled.

For this redo, Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Aeysha Carr has already been brought in on writing duties, and Smith and Hart will serve as producers on the picture through their respective Westbrook Studios and Hartbeat Productions banners.

As ever, expect more on this new Planes, Trains & Automobiles as we get it.
