They're Gonna Do It?

Director Garry Marshall. and actor Jamie Foxx are still planning a film version of the classic sitcom ""Laverne & Shirley".

The series ran from 1976 to 1983 and was co-created by Marshall.

First mentioned during press for "Valentine's Day" last month, Marshall told TV Guide over the weekend that Foxx is writing the script which is a "whole different modern day take on how they came up on the streets during difficult times".

They still have two of their V-Day co-stars in mind for the lead roles - "Jennifer Garner would play Laverne and Jessica Biel would play Shirley" says Marshall.

Foxx also plans to write in roles for original sitcom stars Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams

Foxx is talented but I just can't wrap my head around the notion that he is writing the script here
