Ryan Reynolds is a very busy guy. In between filming movies he attends movie premieres and conventions for movies he’s filmed and signing dotted lines to appear in more movies, so today’s news that he has another project in the pipes comes as very little surprise.

It was Martin and Pearl, who have been friends for 20 years, that first introduced Reynolds and [Allan] Loeb to each other. As a result, their companies set out to collaborate on A Boy Named Sue, a feature comedy at Working Title written by Loeb, with Reynolds attached to star as a guy who disguises himself as a woman to win his ex-girlfriend back.
This is right up Reynolds’ ally and I’m, frankly, surprised it took this long for a re-do remake of Tootsie. They don’t outright call it a remake or in anyway related but the similarity of the two movies’ premises’ are obvious. I don’t know when he may find time to make this movie but I’ll be sure to share more news about it as soon as it’s available.
