The new iteration will star Logan Lerman, widely recognized for his role in the "Percy Jackson" film series, and Emily Bader (pictured above), who recently gained acclaim for her performance in "People We Meet on Vacation." Brett Haley, who previously directed Bader in "People We Meet on Vacation," is set to helm the remake. The screenplay will be penned by Flora Greeson, known for her work on "The High Note."
