Based on Lawrence Kasdan's 1983 pic, the original script by Kasdan and Barbara Benedek will be used as a template; the storyline will be contemporized and the cast will be African American. The remake will stick closely to the original storyline, in which seven college friends reunite over a weekend at a South Carolina house for the funeral of a pal. As they get reacquainted, they become introspective about how their lives turned out. The cast of the new film will be in their 30s, which means the characters will have matriculated together in the 1990s instead of the '60s. Music will be a big part of the film, though the redo may stick with the original's fixation on Motown classics.
