The Parent Trap (1998), Father of the Bride (1991) and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989) are among the first projects on the table for potential film reboots, sources say.

Well, I'm not completely against it. I don't mind this one, for example. But I wish they wouldn't play it so safe and would bet on new stories. And if they want to do remakes, they could choose lesser-known films that haven't been remade yet. Or at least remade them in a new format, like for instance, making a TV series of "The Parent Trap" instead of a new movie.
