Indeed, the film’s star Jennifer Garner has given a glimpse of the magic that’s to come in the Netflix reboot, starring Emily Bader and Logan Lerman, including how the new project will honor the 2004 film.
“I feel like the legacy of our director Gary Winick, who died of brain cancer after we wrapped that movie, [continues],” Garner exclusively told E News’ Erin Lim Rhodes at the Los Angeles premiere of The Five Star Weekend on July 8. “It just makes me so happy.”
