'13 Going on 30' star Jennifer Garner is reuniting with the producers of that surprise hit film to produce a remake of the holiday favorite 'Christmas in Connecticut'.
The original 1945 screwball holiday classic was directed by Peter Godfrey and starred Barbara Stanwyck, Dennis Morgan and Sydney Greenstreet.
The 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.
In 1992, Arnold Schwarzenegger directed a remake of "Christmas in Connecticut" for television. Dyan Cannon, Kris Kristofferson and Tony Curtis starred. In that version, the cooking diva is the hostess of her own homemaking show.
No writer has been announced for this remake project, neither have possible release dates been provided although industry sources predict a holiday 2008 schedule.
