Gabrielle Union to front Cheaper by the Dozen remake

Gabrielle Union is to lead the cast of a Cheaper By The Dozen revamp created by Black-ish producer Kenya Barris.

She’ll play the matriarch of a blended family of 12 – a role that has previously been played onscreen by Bonnie Hunt and Myrna Loy.

The film, based on a real family, first hit the screen in 1950 with Loy and Clifton Webb. A 2003 remake, starring Steve Martin and Hunt, spawned a 2005 sequel.

The new version will debut on the Disney+ streaming site in 2022.
