TV executive-turned-screenwriter Dan McDermott will write an updated version of Charlie Chan for 20th Century Fox, says The Hollywood Reporter.
Producer Jennifer Klein also has joined the long-gestating project, which centers on the granddaughter of the fictional Chinese-American detective. Lucy Liu is attached to star and executive produce.
"It's a reinvention of the franchise that credibly passes on the baton to Lucy Liu as the lead character and lead of the franchise," McDermott said.
