Look Who’s Talking reboot on the way
Ready or not, Screen Gems is rebooting the 1989 TriStar comedy Look Who’s Talking — the movie that featured Bruce Willis as the inner-voice of a young kid named Mikey; and starred a pre-Pulp Fiction John Travolta, and Cheers cast member Kirstie Alley? Yes. That film is getting the reboot treatment.

According to Deadline, Jeremy Garelick (The Wedding Ringer) wlll direct the comedy while Adam Fields will produce. Garelick expressed his excitement in the same article, noting that his experience as a father of four — including twins — will help him through the writing and directing process behind the film.
“Like, figuring out how to raise these kids, with all the mistakes that happen,” he said. “Add in the voices that are keyed to facial expressions, it just really seems like a fun idea. Everyone can relate to babies. The challenge is, that was a really good movie, Travolta and Kirstie Alley had great chemistry and Amy Heckerling wrote a great script. We’re in the early stages of figuring out what the story is for the modern version of the movie.”

As stated, the film will follow in the footsteps of Heckerling’s original box office smash that grossed $300 million on a $7.5 million budget and spawned two sequels —1990’s Look Who’s Talking Too and 1993’s Look Who’s Talking Now, neither of which made much noise with critics or audiences. In fact, Look Who’s Talking Now achieved the rare feat of earning a 0% score on RottenTomatoes.
