'Princess Bride' Remake Rumors Not True

Is a Princess Bride remake, starring Paul Rudd, in the works?

Loads of Princess Bride fans panicked when they heard a remake of their beloved favorite was being made.

I have a super huge crush on Paul Rudd, but that doesn't mean I think you should mess with an institution like The Princess Bride.

The Princess Bride should never, ever, ever be remade. Period.

The remake rumor got its legs online after a series of misunderstandings blew it out of proportion.

FamilyVideo.com wrote, "Director Jason Reitman recently announced the cast for his planned project and they are certainly up to the challenge, Paste magazine reports. The main character of Westley is set to be played by Paul Rudd who has become a favorite among directors over the last several years. His love interested, the titular princess, will be played by Mindy Kaling, best known for her role as Kelly on The Office. The supporting cast is just as impressive as the two leads, the publication reports. Comedians Patton Oswalt and Nick Kroll are both on board as well."

Paste magazine did discuss Reitman's new project, but in reality it was just a stage reading of the script with Rudd, Kaling, Oswalt and Kroll.
