Revolution wants to restore a Dream House.
Revolution Studios is in the final stages of securing rights to a re-make of Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House. The 1948 Cary Grant/Myrna Loy classic is something of a mix of Green Acres and The Money Pit. An urban couple give up city living in order to remodel a home in the suburbs. The project does not go as well as hoped.
Steve Carr, the director of Daddy Day Care and the upcoming Martin Lawrence comedy, Rage Control, is the planned helmer of the project. Carr, a fan of the original, has been quoted as saying that while he sees the similarity to The Money Pit, his take on the project will be more in the vein of the Steve Martin classic, Parenthood.
