New Line Cinema is planning a remake of the 1984 comedy All of Me, which starred Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin, and set screenwriters Brent Goldberg and David Wagner to write a modern take on the story.
Variety says the studio is aiming to cast Wanda Sykes in the Tomlin role of a dying heiress who tries to transfer her soul to a young woman but instead finds herself possessing the right side of the body of her lawyer, played by Martin in the original.
The writers are planning to keep the concept and spirit of the original but update the technology involved and comedy, as well as give it a more hip sensibility.
