'Three's Company' Movie: Who's Behind John Ritter, Joyce DeWitt & Suzanne Somers Reboot?

Dwayne Johnson's reboot of '90s series Baywatch is currently in production, but The Rock isn't the only person out there thinking of reviving a beloved show and putting it on the big screen: it's time for Three's Company!

The '70s comedy of errors starring that made stars out of John Ritter, Joyce DeWitt and Suzanne Somers is going to the big screen, but who's involved in the reboot so far?

According to The Hollywood Reporter, New Line is currently in negotiations to buy the movie rights to Three's Company, and there are already two writers attached to the project: Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein, the scribes behind 2009's rom-com He's Just Not That Into You. Producers will be Robert Cort (Runaway Bride, Jumanji) and Don Taffner Jr., whose father produced the original series and spinoff Three's a Crowd.

While the show was set in what was then the modern-day era (when two women co-habiting with a man was very uncommon), the upcoming film will apparently be a period comedy, set in the 1970s, IGN reports. Considering the film will undoubtedly be self-aware of its times, the whole thing sounds rather like a twist between Three's Company and That '70s Show.

Perhaps, if the film is released, one of the original cast members will return for a cameo the way David Hasselhoff will for the Baywatch movie. Ritter tragically passed away in 2003, but Somers and DeWitt could drop by, or even one of the blonde's replacements, namely Jenilee Harrison or Priscilla Barnes.

Much like the show that earned Ritter the only Golden Globe of his career, the show will follow the two Santa Monica female roommates after taking in a guy in the apartment. To avoid trouble with their landlords, they pretend he's gay, prompting the rest of the comedy of errors.

The film would in fact be the remake of a remake: the original Three's Company was actually an American adaptation of U.K. show Man About the House.
