Herbie returns : With a vengeance!
Due to the recent theatrical success of Freaky Friday, which was originally intended as a made-for-TV movie, Disney has been digging into their archives. The result: Herbie the Love Bug will be making a return to the big screen. The new flick will see Herbie entering the wild world of NASCAR racing. Even better… Disney has hired Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garrant to write the screenplay. The writing duo can be seen in episodes of Comedy Central’s cult-hit Reno 9-11!. They are also the writers behind the U.S. remake of Luc Besson’s Taxi. No word yet if Bruce Campbell will be reprising his role from the 1997 television movie.
