While at the premiere of his new movie Valentine’s Day last night, Director Garry Marshall hinted to “Extra’s” Mario Lopez about a possible movie remake of his hit TV sitcom Laverne and Shirley.“We’re gonna work on that,” Marshall tells Extra. “My sister Penny and Cindy are gonna have a guest cameo. They’re gonna walk “schlemiel, schlemazel” — or they’re gonna get tired in the middle and sit down.”
Jessica Biel and Jennifer Garner who became best friends on the set of Marshall’s new film Valentine’s Day, went along with the idea.
Garner says she’s dying to do it and Biel tried to sing the theme song. “Dah, dah. Dah, dah. Something incorporated.”
The whole idea started when Jamie Foxx who co-stars with the pretty pair in “Valentine’s Day,” noticedtheir off-screen chemistry, which reminded him of Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams’ banter.
Foxx says, “During the movie, they were doing stuff off-screen that reminded me of Laverne & Shirley. I think they’re the new Laverne & Shirley. They had some energy, and I mentioned that to Garry Marshall.”
Movie ideas have come from crazier places, so who knows it might be fun.
