Get all the details on the impendingShe’s All Thatremake after the jump.

According toTheWrap, The Weinstein Co. and Miramax are teaming on the remake. Miramax put out the original film, which grossed $100 million worldwide. For what it’s worth, Miramax denies that there’s a deal in place right now, but “multiple individuals” have told the trade it’s happening.

Loosely based onMy Fair Lady(and therefore alsoPygmalion),She’s All Thatcentered on a popular kid (Prinze) who accepts a bet to turn an unpopular outsider (Cook) into the prom queen. Inevitably, it all comes to a head at the big dance, which features a very memorable but totally inexplicable choreographed dance number.

Leon and Lee previously teamed for the Hallmark Channel movieThe Watsons Go to Birmingham, which Lee co-wrote and Leon directed. She additionally served as executive producer on the miniseriesMiracle’s Boys, which was directed in part by her husband Spike Lee.
