It’s #goan be an unprecedented laughter hour ahead of us when this film finally make the cinemas. Eddie Murphy is being recruited to star in a remake of 1993’s Grumpy Old Men directed by Tim Story, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Still no word on who will play opposite Murphy, but rumor has it, it might be Samuel L. Jackson. Story’s directorial credits include Barbershop, the upcoming Shaft reboot, and the Ride Along movies. The remake apparently comes as Warner Bros. is trying to make more progressive versions of old films, since they realized projects like Ocean’s 8 actually do make money. It’s a weird motivation for sure, but who are we to turn down a comedy with Jackson and Murphy?

The 1993 comedy follows two neighbors and their lifelong feud that only gets worse when a woman moves in across the street. Murphy will star as one of the angry seniors, originally played by Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. That one and its ’95 sequel Grumpier Old Men had nearly identical box office earnings, just north of $70 million.
