The New Little Rascals Will Be Modern

So the new, nodern day movie based on the Depression-era Little Rascals sounds like it's going to be a cross between The Muppets and Four Brothers.

Showbiz 411 posted the following plot synopsis for the reboot that was first reported on last week by Moviehole:

"When their beloved adopted GRANDMA is about to lose her bakery to scheming millionaire, BIG RAY KAYE, the LITTLE RASCALS try to raise the money to help. But their hare-brained schemes, masterminded by SPANKY, result in comical disaster. Their last hope is performing on a television talent show, but the kids are up against some notably glitzy competition, and their ragtag band has an uphill battle if they hope to win the big cash prize…"

The project is now casting new versions of Spanky, Darla, Alfalfa, Buckwheat and other members of Our Gang. Alex Zamm (Tooth Fairy 2, Inspector Gadget 2) will direct, with production slated to commence in September.

Penelope Spheeris directed the failed 1994 attempt at bringing the Little Rascals back to the screen:
