#Roommates, if you always wanted Will Smith and Kevin Hart to team up together for a movie…you just got your wish! It has just been announced that Will and Kevin will star together in a remake of the 1987 classic holiday film, “Planes, Trains And Automobiles.”
@Deadline reports, Paramount Pictures has officially committed to a remake of the classic John Hughes 1987 holiday road trip comedy “Planes, Trains & Automobiles” starring Will Smith and Kevin Hart in their first big screen match-up. Will’s Westbrook Studios and Kevin’s Hartbeat Productions will also produce the film. The original film starred Steven Martin and the late John Candy.
For a refresher, in the original, Steve Martin and John Candy are two men with extremely different personalities who are forced to become travel partners and bunkmates in a desperate attempt to get home to loved ones for Thanksgiving after their flights are canceled. A hilarious set of holiday travel disasters follow, as they continue to mix like oil and water.
