Planes, Trains And Automobiles Remake

The news about a Planes, Trains and Automobiles remake is huge, but as of right now, it's just news. From the sounds of the announcement, the film is in the early stages of production and likely hasn't started filming yet. There also weren't any clues in about when we should expect to see the remake. However, if it's anything like the original, we do have an educated guess for when we can expect to see the movie.

The original film's plot centers around the notoriously berserk Thanksgiving travel season in the US. Presumably, the studio behind the film wanted to capitalize on the connection to the holiday, as the movie premiered in American theaters on November 25, 1987, the day before Thanksgiving that year.

Although these types of star-studded comedies typically come out during the summer movie season, we wouldn't be surprised if the remake of Planes, Trains and Automobiles follows the lead of the original and comes out around the winter holidays. Of course, the movie could throw us a curveball and drop the Thanksgiving element altogether, but we won't know for sure until we have more details. Our best guess right now is that we'll be seeing the new film in either the winter of 2021 or 2022 — and more likely the latter, with the movie industry set for a long, slow return to normal moving forward from 2020.
