Variety is reporting that Jennifer Garner will be in a remake of the romantic comedy Christmas in Connecticut.
No writter has been assigned to the remake of the 1945 screwball holiday classic, which was directed by Peter Godfrey and starred Barbara Stanwyck, Dennis Morgan and Sydney Greenstreet.
Original storyline revolves around a cooking writer — the Martha Stewart of her time — whom the world believes to living on a cozy farm in Connecticut with her husband and baby. In reality, she’s a single woman living on her own in New York. The ruse is discovered when a holiday meal is planned at her fake farm.
This isn’t the first time Christmas in Connecticut has been remade. In 1992, Arnold Schwarzenegger directed his own version for television. Dyan Cannon, Kris Kristofferson and Tony Curtis starred. In that version, the cooking diva is the hostess of her own homemaking show.
Currently, you can see Garner in Catch and Release. She’s set to begin production on Jason Reitman’s coming-of-age comedy Juno later this month in Vancouver.
