Remember the movie ‘Grumpy Old Men?’ It looks like it will be the next franchise to get a re-boot!

The Hollywood Reporter reports, “Eddie Murphy is in talks to star in a remake of Grumpy Old Men that Tim Story, the helmer of the Ride Along movies, will direct for New Line, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Murphy would play one of the feuding seniors made famous by Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau in the 1993 comedy about a lifelong battle between two neighbors that only gets worse when a new female neighbor (played by Ann-Margret) moves across the street.

Grumpy Old Men spawned a 1995 sequel, Grumpier Old Men, which earned $72 million domestically, a nearly identical haul as the original version.”
