Get ready folks, another remake is headed our way as Universal Pictures is going to remake the 1939 comedy Midnight with Reese Witherspoon attached to star. The film was scripted by Oscar-winning writer of Little Miss Sunshine Michael Arndt who came up with the idea and prompted Mary Parent and Scott Stuber to produce through Witherspoon's Type A Films.

In the original film Claudette Colbert starred as a destitute young woman in Paris who becomes a pawn when a wealthy man tries to get rid of the gigolo wooing his wife. John Barrymore also starred in the film that was directed by Mitchell Leisen and written by Charles Brackett and Billy Wilder.

Arndt was quoted by Variety saying, "Midnight has long been one of my favorite films, and it is easily one of the best comedies of the '30s… Being given the chance to update the film with Reese in the lead is simply a dream come true."

However, this will probably not be Reese's next feature as she has such films as Under the Bridge and Our Family Trouble on her radar. She will next be seen in Rendition opposite Jake Gyllenhaal later this year.
