Beloved 80s Diane Keaton Movie Getting Reboot at Amazon MGM

A movie starring Diane Keaton that was released in the 1980s is being remade at Amazon MGM Studios.

Keaton passed away last month at the age of 79. The Academy Award-winning actress is known for starring in movies such as Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather trilogy, 1973’s Sleeper, 1975’s Love and Death, 1977’s Annie Hall, and many more.

What Diane Keaton movie is getting a reboot?

Per Jeff Sneider’s The InSneider, Amazon MGM Studios is now developing a “modern reimagining” of 1987’s Baby Boom.

Directed by Charles Shyer, who co-wrote the script with Nancy Meyers, Baby Boom stars Keaton as J.C. Wiatt, while the cast also includes Sam Shepard as Dr. Jeff Cooper, Harold Ramis as Steven Buchner, Sam Wanamaker as Fritz Curtis, and James Spader as Ken Arrenberg.

A synopsis for the film reads, “J.C. Wiatt (Diane Keaton) is a New York City businesswoman who is married to her job and has a relationship with Steven (Harold Ramis), a successful investment broker. J.C.’s life takes an unexpected turn when a relative suddenly dies and makes her the caretaker of a baby girl. Soon, the baby’s arrival causes J.C. to lose first Steven, and then her job. She moves to Vermont and embarks on a series of life-changing events. But when offered the opportunity, will she return to her corporate ways?”

The new Baby Boom movie will be produced and directed by Michael Showalter, who previously helmed movies such as 2015’s Hello, My Name Is Doris, 2017’s The Big Sick, 2020’s The Lovebirds, 2021’s The Eyes of Tammy Faye, 2022’s Spoiler Alert, and 2024’s The Idea of You. Also known for starring in 2001’s Wet Hot American Summer, Showalter has a new movie coming out, titled Oh. What. Fun., next month.
