Writer/producer Ayesha Carr (“The Carmichael Show,” “Rel,” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”) will write the script for her feature debut.

Deadline reports:

The original starred Steve Martin and John Candy as a mismatched duo forced to become bunkmates and traveling partners in a desperate attempt to get home to loved ones for Thanksgiving after their flights are canceled. A slew of holiday travel disasters follow, and they mix like water and oil. Hart and Smith produce with Westbrook Studios Co-President and Head of Motion Pictures Jon Mone and Hartbeat’s President of Film and Television Bryan Smiley.

Here’s a clip from the original:

Lord. Y’all already know these two are going to CUT UP on this film! Are you here for it or are you over reboots & remakes?!
