Garry Marshall was joking during press junkets for Valentine’s Day that the chemistry between Jennifer Garner and Jessica Biel was so strong that he thinks they would make a a great modern day Laverne & Shirley. But all jokes are off now.

Garry tells TV Guide (via Coming Soon) that he is working on a modern version of L&S, and has asked Jamie Foxx to write the script. What?

Garry said, “Jamie and I are trying to do it. He’s writing it. It’s a whole different modern day take on how they came up on the streets during difficult times. Laverne would be this very tough girl with a big ‘L’ tattooed on her arm. Jennifer Garner would play Laverne and Jessica Biel would play Shirley.”

Jennifer Garner is gonna be the tough tattooed girl? Are they going to work in a bottle factory? Who is going to play Lenny & Squiggy? And Carmine? There are just too many questions that need to be answered before I can get on board with this.
