Bring on the trailer!

Garner is one of the producers of the upcoming reboot. Recently, he took to Twitter to give us some new info on the first trailer, writing: “Well, I thought by the casts’ social media you would’ve figured out we’re shooting a few more days. We’d always planned for it & thought we’d do it in March. The pandemic had other plans. We won’t have a release date for the movie until theaters re-open. Same for trailer.”
