Eddie Murphy Joins Grumpy Old Men Reboot

Eddie Murphy is set to star in an upcoming remake of the 1993 Walter Matthau/Jack Lemmon comedy “Grumpy Old Men,” a person with knowledge of the project has told TheWrap. Tim Story, director of the “Ride Along” films, will direct the film.
Warner Bros. will release the film with New Line producing, continuing the two studios’ ongoing plans to revamp IPs from decades past. Other recent WB remakes and updates include “Ocean’s 8” and “It,” the latter of which has a sequel coming out next year.
