The 1987 road comedy Planes, Trains & Automobiles is getting a remake with Will Smith and Kevin Hart to star and produce.
The original film was directed by John Hughes with Steve Martin and John Candy starring as a pair of mismatched businessmen trying to make their way home to Chicago for Thanksgiving and facing a ton of travel disasters along the way.
The remake will be a modern take on the original with Smith and Hart playing characters who are forced to team up and deal with travel obstacles to get home to their family.
Smith’s most recent role was in Bad Boys for Life and he’s currently in production on King Richard, in which he’s playing the father of tennis stars Venus and Serena Willaims. He can also be seen in Jumanji: The Next Level and has recently completed production on the drama Fatherhood which is set to be released in April 2021.
