Title: Classic 80s Film “License to Drive” Gets a Modern Day Reboot
Los Angeles, CA – Fans of the iconic 1988 film “License to Drive” will soon have a modern-day version of the classic comedy to enjoy. The cult favorite, which originally starred Corey Haim and Corey Feldman, is being rebooted for a whole new generation of fans.
The original film followed the misadventures of a teenage boy named Les Anderson, played by Corey Haim, who fails his driving test but decides to take his father’s prized Cadillac out for a joyride anyway. Chaos ensues as Les tries to impress a girl, deal with his overbearing parents, and avoid getting caught by the police.
The new version of “License to Drive” promises to capture the spirit of the original while updating it for today’s audience. The reboot will focus on a teenage girl named Alex Anderson, played by a yet-to-be-announced actress, who embarks on a wild adventure after failing her driving test but deciding to hit the road anyway.
Producer Emma Johnson, who is spearheading the reboot, says that the film will stay true to the core themes of the original while also addressing modern-day issues facing teenagers.
“License to Drive was a beloved film that captured the essence of teenage rebellion and coming of age. We want to pay homage to the original while also bringing something fresh and relevant to audiences today,” Johnson said.
The reboot will be directed by up-and-coming filmmaker Rachel Patel, who has earned critical acclaim for her work on indie films that explore similar themes of adolescence and identity.
“We are thrilled to have Rachel onboard to bring her unique vision to the project. She has a keen eye for storytelling and a deep understanding of what it means to be a teenager in today’s world,” Johnson added.
Casting for the reboot is currently underway, with a mix of established actors and fresh faces being considered for the lead roles. The production team is also working closely with the original film’s creators to ensure that the reboot honors its legacy while offering something new and exciting.
“We are in talks with Corey Feldman to potentially make a cameo appearance in the film, which would be a fun nod to the original. We want to make sure that fans of the original film feel a sense of nostalgia while also discovering something fresh and unexpected in this new version,” Johnson revealed.
The reboot of “License to Drive” is set to begin production later this year, with a planned release date for sometime in 2023. Fans of the original film are eagerly anticipating the new version and are excited to see how it will capture the spirit of the 80s classic while also bringing something new to the table.
As the production moves forward, stay tuned for updates on casting announcements, behind-the-scenes footage, and more as “License to Drive” gears up for its long-awaited return to the big screen.
