Fox is remaking the 1988 License to Drive, which starred ’80s teen idols “The Two Coreys,” (Corey Haim and Corey Feldman), along with a young Heather Graham.
According to THR, the new version Fox is working on will be written by Alisha Brophy and Scott Miles, who worked on the script for Girl Problems, a movie adaptation of Babe Walker’s novel, White Girl Problems.

The License to Drive remake will update the story for modern times, with two female leads replacing the The Two Coreys. The original film followed a teen who fails his driver’s test, but still wants to impress the girl he’s going out with that night. He takes his grandfather’s prized Cadillac out for a night on the town – only to have the car suffer more and more damages, as a series of misadventures unfolds.
No word yet on a director for the project, or what two actresses the studio is looking at for the lead roles. We’ll keep you updated.
