‘You’ve Got Mail’ Reboot in the Works at Warner Bros.

Warner Bros. is rebooting the classic 1998 rom-com “You’ve Got Mail,” with Jason Orley attached to direct, Variety has confirmed.

Plot details remain under wraps. Orley is currently drafting a script based on a previous take by Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont. Neal Moritz and Tania Landau are set to produce under the Original Film banner.

Nora Ephron’s original starred Tom Hanks as major bookstore capitalist Joe Fox, who threatens to put Meg Ryan‘s Kathleen Kelly, an independent children’s bookstore owner, out of business with his new location. While their in-person rapport is naturally confrontational, over the now-defunct AOL Messenger, they spark an anonymous romance. Other cast members include Greg Kinnear, Parker Posey, Jean Stapleton and Steve Zahn. The film was a major box office success following a Christmas-time release, earning $250 million against a budget of about $65 million.

“You’ve Got Mail” was inspired by the 1937 play “Perfumeire” by Miklós László, which was previously adapted into the 1940 comedy classic “The Shop Around the Corner” with Jimmy Stewart and Margaret Sullavan.

Orley joins “You Got Mail” after recently wrapping post-production on “Close Personal Friends,” an Amazon comedy film starring Brie Larson, Jack Quaid, Lilly Collins and Henry Golding. He made his feature directorial debut with “Big Time Adolescence” in 2019. He followed that with 2022’s “I Want You Back.”

On the small screen, Orley directed six episodes of Pete Davidson’s 2023 Peacock series “Bupkis.” He also collaborated with Davidson on three of his comedy specials.

Orley is repped by UTA, Rise Management and Hansen, Jacobson, Teller, Hoberman, Newman, Warren, Richman, Rush, Kaller, & Gellman L.L.P.

Deadline was first to report the news of the “You’ve Got Mail” reboot.
