"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Hollywood's obsession with nostalgia isn't going anywhere—the iconic 2004 rom-com13 Going on 30is the latest classic to be revisited. On March 24,Deadlinereported that Netflix is rebooting the film withPeople We Meet on Vacation's Emily Bader andOnly Murders in the Building's Logan Lerman in the lead roles.

Shortly after news broke, the streaming companyconfirmedthe news on Instagram: "Thirty, flirty, and thriving... Emily Bader and Logan Lerman will star in13 GOING ON 30, a new reboot of the 2004 classic. Executive produced by Jennifer Garner and directed by Brett Haley (People We Meet on Vacation)."

Here's all we know so far about the project.

Will this be a faithful adaptation?

Deadlinereported that plot details are being kept hidden, so it's unclear how much of the original story will appear in the new version. In the 2004 movie, a 13-year-old Jenna Rink (Christa B. Allen) wishes to be "thirty, flirty, and thriving," and wakes up in her adult body (Jennifer Garner). She has to navigate life as a magazine editor in the cutthroat New York City publishing world while making sense of who she grew up to be and the things she left behind (like her childhood best friend-turned-love interest, played by Mark Ruffalo).

Brett Haley will be directing the project with Hannah Marks writing the script. In a statement toDeadline, Haley teased this would be a "reimagining" of the movie.

"13 Going on 30is one of those rare, perfect films," Haley said. "Funny, emotional, deeply human, with unforgettable performances from Jennifer Garner, Mark Ruffalo, and Judy Greer. I'm a longtime fan, so stepping into this reimagining comes with tremendous responsibility."

Who's in the cast?

Emily Bader and Logan Lerman are starring, with Lerman tapped to play Bader's love interest. No other roles have been announced yet.

Who else is involved?

From a production standpoint, Brett Haley, who directed Bader inPeople We Meet on Vacation, is taking the helm once more. Sources toldDeadlinethat he and Bader were eager to work together again and saw the reboot as the "perfect opportunity."

Jennifer Garner is executive producing, along with Marks, Donna Roth, Susan Arnold, Scott Hemming, and Alyssa Altman. Joe Roth and Jeff Kirschenbaum will also be producing.

In his statement toDeadline, Haley raved about the people involved, saying, "Jennifer Garner being on board as an executive producer, after playing such a big part of what made the original special, is especially meaningful. I also couldn't be more excited to reunite with Emily Bader afterPeople We Meet on Vacation. She and the amazingly talented Logan Lerman are a magical pairing. I feel incredibly lucky to be trusted with something that means so much to so many people."

When will the reboot be released?

There's no news on a release date yet.

Is the reboot in production?

No details about a production date have been shared at this point.

This post will be updated.

Chappell Roan insists she has 'zero tolerance' for 'aggressive behavior' toward fans amid hotel controversy

Chappell Roanis speaking out about the alleged incident involving a security guard andJude Law's daughter at a Brazilian hotel.

The "Pink Pony Club" singer responded to thecontroversy surrounding an alleged interactionbetween security personnel and 11-year-old Ada Law, after the youngster's stepfather, football player Jorginho, claimed that a guard chastised her in "an extremely aggressive manner" when she "walked past the singer's table" and "looked to confirm it was her."

"Chappell was not aware of any interaction between this mother / daughter and a third party security officer," a spokesperson for the "Good Luck Babe" musician tellsEntertainment Weeklyin a statement, echoing claims that Roan herself made in a video on her Instagram Stories on Sunday. "She did not see them at breakfast in her hotel, as she said in her video. She did not direct her personal security or anyone on her team to interact with them."

The spokesperson added, "Chappell holds her own teams to the highest standards and has zero tolerance for any kind of aggressive behavior towards her or her fans."

The saga began when Jorginho wrote a message on his Instagram Stories on Saturday explaining his perspective on the "very upsetting situation": his wife, singer Catherine Harding, took her daughter, Ada, to see Roan ("an artist who she really admires"), at the Lollapalooza festival in São Paulo.

The footballer claimed that Roan walked past his family's table at the hotel where they all were staying, prompting Ada to get "excited" and move closer to the singer's table to confirm that it was, indeed, Roan. "She didn't say anything, didn't ask for anything," Jorginho said. He then claimed that "a large security guard" approached the family's table and berated Harding, "saying she shouldn't allow my daughter to 'disrespect' or 'harass' other people."

Jorginho said that his stepdaughter was "extremely shaken and cried a lot" after the alleged incident. He also directly addressed Roan and her fans at the end of his remarks: "WITHOUT YOUR FANS, YOU WOULD BE NOTHING. AND TO THE FANS, SHE DOES NOT DESERVE YOUR AFFECTION."

Inher video on Sunday, Roan said that she "didn't even see a woman and a child" in the hotel, adding, "No one came up to me. No one bothered me. I was just sitting at breakfast in my hotel."

She added, "I did not ask the security guard to go up and talk to this mother and child. They did not come up to me — they weren't doing anything!"

Roan continued, "I do not hate people who are fans of my music. I do not hate children — that is crazy. I'm sorry to the mother and child that someone was assuming that you would do something, and if you felt uncomfortable that makes me really sad. You did not deserve that."

Hardingresponded to the situationin her own video on Sunday. "I know that Chappell has responded saying that it wasn't her security and she didn't do it," the Irish singer said on Instagram. "100% this security guard was not a security guard of the hotel, that's what I can say. He looks after artists. So I don't know if it was her personal security guard, but he was with her. That is all I know."

She added, "Did she send him to do it? Again, I don't know. I would like to hope not, but at the same time, I think that you have a responsibility when you are a celebrity to make sure that the people who work for you and act on your behalf are acting on your behalf. So would he do that if he didn't have her authority to do so? I don't know."

Sheriff in Nancy Guthrie Case Says Authorities 'Do Believe Something Occurred' on Specific Date Before Disappearance

Investigators looking into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie are focusing on Jan. 11 after Google could not confirm details about surveillance footage from that date

NEED TO KNOW

• "We do believe that something occurred on Jan. 11 and that's with the FBI's analysis of the equipment and digital stuff they've done," Sheriff Chris Nanos told local Tucson, Ariz., station KOLD

• The investigation remains active with no suspects named despite a $1 million reward offered by the Guthrie family

The sheriff in charge of theNancy Guthrie abduction caseis offering new details about the significance of Jan. 11 in the investigation.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos previously said local authorities and the FBI were seeking surveillance footage from Jan. 11, after Google initially indicated a key image showed a suspect without a backpack. He later clarified that the date of the image could not be confirmed.

In a new interview with local Tucson, Ariz., stationKOLD, Nanos said Jan. 11 was still a date investigators were looking into.

"We do believe that something occurred on Jan. 11 and that's with the FBI's analysis of the equipment and digital stuff they've done," Nanos told KOLD.

He added that the interest in the date remains speculative and would not share any evidence the investigators have which explains the significance of that date.

Nanos also confirmed that the investigation into Nancy's disappearance remains ongoing almost two months afterSavannah Guthrie's 84-year-old mother was taken from her home.

"We have so much in front of us. And we believe we have good evidence in front of us," Nanos said. "Will that dry up? Could I be wrong? Absolutely. Anything is possible, but we're not giving up."

Nanos' latest comments on the Jan. 11 date come as investigators continue to sort out details he discussed inan interview with NBC News' Liz Kreutzone day prior.

Kreutz explained on theTodayshow on Monday, March 23, that while trying to recover footage from Nancy's Nest camera, investigators reached out to Google, which owns Nest. Google initially indicated that one of the surveillance images was from Jan. 11, but later said the exact date could not be confirmed.

Savannah Guthrie’s Latest Plea Was ‘Deliberate’ Tactic to Reach Kidnapper

Savannah Guthrieshared a statement on a local Tucson, Arizona, station on Sunday (March 22), making a new public plea for the return of her 84-year-old mother,Nancy Guthrie, who has been missing for over seven weeks.

Former FBI agent Jason Pack spoke toPage Sixabout Savannah's latest plea, noting how it was a "deliberate" tactic to reach the kidnapper following a lack of updates from investigators. "The family chose a local television station, not a national platform. That is not an accident," Pack told the outlet.

Nancy, the mother ofTodayco-hostSavannah, has beenmissing since January 31,when police believe she was abducted from her home in Tucson, Arizona. Since then, investigators have releaseddoorbell camera footageof a masked suspect andshared a descriptionof the potential abductor.

Pack said that NBC and its platforms would likely have aired Savannah's latest plea if she'd asked. Instead, "They targeted their own neighborhood. That tells you they believe someone local has information, or more likely, someone local has not checked their cameras yet because they assumed somebody else already did."

Savannah's plea aired on the local Tucson station KVOA, in which she said, "We are deeply grateful for the outpouring from neighbors, friends and the people of Tucson. We are all family now."

She added, "We continue to believe it is Tucsonans, and the greater southern Arizona community, that hold the key to finding resolution in this case. Someone knows something. It's possible a member of this community has information that they do not even realize is significant."

Savannah urged people to focus on the timelines of "January 31," the early morning of "February 1," as well as "the late evening of January 11."

"We desperately ask this community for renewed attention to our mom's case – please consult camera footage, journal notes, text messages, observations or conversations that in retrospect may hold significance. No detail is too small. It may be the key," she stated.

Pack told Page Six that statements like this are needed to keep the case in the public consciousness, as it is an "uphill fight" to keep the investigation relevant when authorities haven't held a press conference in over a month.

"When investigators go dark, and the media moves on, tip volume likely drops. That is just the nature of it," he explained.

Pack noted that just because the case has seemingly gone quiet, it doesn't mean investigators aren't working around the clock. He noted that tasks such as "warrant returns, subpoena responses, lab work, and digital forensics" take time. However, he urged investigators to go back to Nancy's neighborhood and "collect and review footage themselves."

"Even when a resident says there is nothing on it," Pack stated. "The resident does not know what nothing looks like to a trained investigator. Sometimes the most important frame in an investigation is the one the homeowner already dismissed."
