'Rookie of the Year' Remake in Development with Fox

Twentieth Century Fox is reportedly in the planning stages for a remake of the 1993 film Rookie of the Year, according to Deadline.

The studio is working on a deal with Dan Gregor and Doug Mand to handle the rewrite. Gregor could possibly direct as well, reports Deadline.

Mand and Gregor are currently consulting producers on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and previously worked on shows like How I Met Your Mother and The Comedians.

In the original film, 12-year-old Little Leaguer Henry Rowengartner breaks his arm when trying to catch a fly ball.
