Shankman and Martin to reteam for Topper remake

Adam Shankman, the gay director behind the weekend's top grosser, Bringing Down the House, will reunite with House star Steve Martin for a remake of the 1937 comedy Topper, reports Variety. The original starred Cary Grant and Constance Bennett as two playful ghosts who try to teach their stuffy friend Cosmo Topper (Roland Young) to enjoy life. No start date has been set, and it has not confirmed if Topper will be Shankman's next directorial project.
