“A Walk to Remember has endured as a beloved coming-of-age drama, captivating audiences with its heartfelt story of young love, personal growth and the power of faith for decades,” said Steve Barnett, who also contributed to the 2002 film. “We could not be more excited to bring a new version of Nicholas Sparks’ timeless story to audiences and are particularly thrilled to work alongside the original film’s producers, Denise [Di Novi] and Hunt [Lowry].”
The reboot has just been announced, but here’s what we know about it so far.
The website Backstageestimates a movie’s production time at one to two and a half years; though this depends on a number of factors and delays are not uncommon. But if it holds true for the new A Walk to Remember, fans might see it as early as mid-2026.
What is the A Walk to Remember reboot about?
In the movie, the setting is early 2000s North Carolina. It follows teen rebel Landon Carter: a popular kid who hides his feelings behind a stoic facade. After accidentally injuring another student, Landon is assigned extracurricular work by his school’s principal, including tutoring and being involved in the school play. Through these activities he comes to know Jamie Sullivan, the local minister’s daughter. Jamie is not popular at all but doesn’t seem to care what other people think about her.
The movie reboot could further modernize the story by bringing it into the 2020s, or it could harken back to the story’s roots in the 1950s. Likewise, Landon could be his well-known punk self from the movie who listens to loud rock music, or he could be the wealthy son of a congressman as he is in the book. Not knowing might make it more exciting for fans in the leadup to the premiere.
Mandy Moore hasn’t announced any involvement in the reboot, nor has her former co-star Shane West. Though if they are involved, it will probably be in minor ways. A Walk to Remember is a teenage love story and Moore and West are now in their 40s.
