For those not in the know, it's based on the 1960s sitcom about a wealthy New Yorker and his Hungarian socialite wife who decide to move to a remote southern farm. Hijinx ensue, and there is a pig named Arnold.

They're about 20 years too late. They missed the boat during the 90s when every sitcom from the 60s was turned into a movie.

Yeah, why now and not in the 90's?

Rights to the property were acquired by director Richard L. Bare, one of the most prolific helmers on the original series, and by producer Phillip Goldfine through his production company Hollywood Media Bridge.

I googled "Richard L. Bare"

He's 100!

They tried to do this before with John Travolta and it fell through. I think they missed the boat. Now I've got that stupid theme song stuck in my head

Not a fan of the show, and likely won't see this movie, but I think it can totally fit with today's culture. Oliver can be a little younger, and be a corrupt and disgraced New York hedge fund manager, and Lisa can be his slavic trophy wife.
