Emily Bader and Logan Lerman will star in a new version of the movie directed by Brett Haley, which is coming to Netflix.
Jennifer Garner, who was in the original 2004 comedy, is now an executive producer for this new film.
The movie's story hasn’t been shared yet.
The script was written by Hannah Marks, and it has been revised by Flora Greeson. The producers include Joe Roth and Jeff Kirschenbaum for RK Films.
Sony released the original 13 Going on 30 in theaters on April 23, 2004.
It made $96 million worldwide. The movie starred Mark Ruffalo, Judy Greer, and Andy Serkis. It follows a teenage girl named Jenna Rink who gets humiliated at a party and wishes she were 30 years old, played by Jennifer Garner.
This new movie brings back Brett Haley, who directed People We Meet on Vacation for Netflix.
He’s working with Emily Bader again, who was in that film based on Emily Henry’s romantic novel. She’s also set to play Mia Hamm in a new sports drama called The 99ers. Logan Lerman has been in shows like Only Murders in the Building and will be in a new comedy called Oh, Hi! in 2025.
Haley said, “13 Going on 30 is one of those rare, perfect films.
Funny, emotional, deeply human, with unforgettable performances from Jennifer Garner, Mark Ruffalo, and Judy Greer. I’ve been a fan for a long time, so stepping into this reimagining comes with a lot of responsibility. Jennifer Garner being on board as an executive producer, after playing such a big part of what made the original special, is especially meaningful.”
He also added, “I couldn’t be more excited to reunite with Emily Bader after People We Meet on Vacation.
She and the amazingly talented Logan Lerman are a magical pairing. I feel incredibly lucky to be trusted with something that means so much to so many people.”
In a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter for the film’s 20th anniversary in 2024, screenwriter Josh Goldsmith, who wrote the original with Cathy Yuspa, mentioned that there had been talks over the years about bringing the story back to life.
Over the years, when people think about IP and remember movies they really liked, Goldsmith said during talks about a possible reboot. "Probably not too long after the movie came out — and actually not that long ago either. Nothing has really come together yet," he added.
Garner executive produces Netflix's reboot along with Marks, Donna Roth, Susan Arnold, Scott Hemming, and Alyssa Altman.
