In conversation with Vanity FairReitman explained: “The week the order to stay home in California came, I woke up one of the first mornings, I think like most people, feeling that, okay, I need to be able to do something valuable.
“I just thought, ‘Can we remake a full movie at home?’ And had seen that a fan made Star Wars had been done. I started contacting actors I knew and said, ‘Is this something you would like to do?’
“And the response was immediate and quick. It was like, ‘Oh, that sounds like fun.'”

Meanwhile, the filmmaker admitted that he was not involved in a directing capacity, sharing: “I go through the original scene and get a frame for every frame they need to make, and send them those to create a storyboard version.
“I send you the sides of the original script and give you a little list of accessories, costumes, and location.”
The remake is all in aid of the charity World Central Kitchen and will launch over the course of two weeks on the Quibi streaming service, starting in Monday June 29.
