Garry Marshall wants to remake Laverne and Shirley - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I just read the following on IMDB.com...

"Pretty Woman" director Garry Marshall is taking Jamie Foxx's advice and pushing forward with a movie remake of his hit TV sitcom "Laverne & Shirley" with new best pals Jessica Biel and Jennifer Garner in the title roles.

The actresses became bosom buddies on the set of Marshall's new film "Valentine's Day", prompting their co-star to suggest they'd be perfect for a "Laverne & Shirley" remake. And Marshall admits he's committed to making the movie, which will feature cameos from his sister Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams - the original Laverne & Shirley.

He says, "We're gonna work on that. My sister Penny and Cindy are going to be a guest cameo (sic)." And Garner can't wait to work with her new best friend, "Are you kidding? We're dying to do it." »

I haven't seen "Valentine's Day" yet--I'll probably wait for the dvd--but just the thought that this is even being considered is making me smile.

The one good thing I can say about this remake is that Garry Marshall is doing it. I don't think anyone can play the roles better than Penny and Cindy though.
