You’ve Got Mail, the beloved rom-com starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, has a reboot in the works. However, the Internet has a few things to say about it.
The beloved 1998 film follows Kathleen, played by Ryan, who owns an indie children’s bookstore. She becomes a pen pal with Joe, a corporate bookselling magnate played by Hanks. The two fall for each other without realizing they’re rivals. Based on the 1940 film The Shop Around the Corner and the play Parfumerie by Miklós László, the Ryan and Hanks film, which was directed by Nora Ephron, went down in history as one of the all-time great romcoms. Now, it’s reported that Warner Bros. is developing a new take on the classic romantic comedy, with Jason Orley aboard to direct. Known for projects like I Want You Back and Big Time Adolescence, Deadline reported that Orley is writing the current draft based on a screenplay by Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont, who penned Can’t Hardly Wait and Josie and the Pussycats.

— Blurrito (@blurritolive) November 10, 2026“The biggest issue with remaking You’ve Got Mail today isn’t even the script, it’s basic technology. In 1998, anonymous e-mail pen pals (NY152 & Shopgirl) made sense. Today, Kathleen Kelly would take one look at Joe Fox’s typing cadence, run his profile through reverse-image search, and find his LinkedIn in 45 seconds,” someone else pointed out.
