\n\tBust out the apple sauce \u2014 the beloved \u201980s motherhood comedy \u201cBaby Boom<\/a>\u201d is getting a reboot at Amazon MGM Studios<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe streamer has set prolific filmmaker Michael Showalter (\u201cThe Idea of You,\u201d \u201cHello, My Name is Doris\u201d) as director for a new take on the film. The original was a vehicle for the comic genius of the late Diane Keaton<\/a>. She starred as a hard-driving career woman in the retail food business, unexpectedly saddled with an infant. Through a series of difficult (bordering on absurd) choices, she learns the value of hard work on her own terms. <\/p>\n

\n\tWhile a potential setting, premise and cast are currently unknown, the project is described by sources as a \u201creimagining.\u201d Producers on the new version include Stacey Sher for Shiny Penny and Showalter and Jordana Mollick for Semi-Formal Productions. Katie Aquino will executive produce for Shiny Penny. Emily Crook will oversee for Semi-Formal.\u00a0 \u201cBaby Boom\u201d 2.0 is part of a multi-year first-look deal between Amazon MGM Studios and Semi-Formal. <\/p>\n

\n\tKeaton\u2019s original \u201cBaby Boom\u201d was directed by Charles Shyer, who co-wrote the script with his former partner and producer Nancy Meyers. It spawned a short-lived sitcom version on NBC, starring \u201cCharlie\u2019s Angels\u201d member Kate Jackson and \u201cThe View\u201d panelist Joy Behar. <\/p>\n

\n\tShowalter\u2019s latest film,\u00a0\u201cThe Idea of You,\u201d starred Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine and became Prime Video\u2019s most successful romantic comedy debut ever. His upcoming projects include the Christmas comedy feature\u00a0\u201cOh. What. Fun.\u201d for Amazon MGM, starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Felicity Jones. That is set to begin streaming on Prime Video on December 3, 2025<\/p>\n

\n\tSher is the venerable career producer known for work with auteurs like Quentin Tarantino (\u201cPulp Fiction,\u201d \u201cDjango Unchained\u201d\u00a0and\u00a0\u201cThe Hateful Eight\u201d) and Steven Soderbergh (\u201cErin Brockovich,\u201d\u00a0\u201cOut of Sight\u201d\u00a0and\u00a0\u201cContagion\u201d).<\/p>\n
