Director Jason Orley is on board to direct a new take on the classic 1998 romantic comedy You’ve Got Mail. While the genre hasn’t completely died out, we are seeing a resurgence of rom-coms back on the screen, and while You’ve Got Mail is a fan favorite, it is completely of its time, and a new one will need some updating.

Details as to the new storyline are being kept under wraps. Orley, the filmmaker behind I Want You Back and Big Time Adolescence, is writing the current draft based on a screenplay by Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont (Can’t Hardly Wait, Josie and the Pussycats).

Directed by Nora Ephron, the original You’ve Got Mail stars Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks as an independent children’s bookshop owner and the corporate bookselling magnate threatening her livelihood who become pen pals online, falling for each other without realizing they’re rivals.

Orley comes to You’ve Got Mail after wrapping post on his third feature, an Amazon comedy titled Close Personal Friends that stars Brie Larson, Jack Quaid, Lilly Collins and Henry Golding.
