The sweet romantic comedy had Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet\u2019s characters switching homes for their newly-single winter season, and finding a bit of holiday cheer in the men they each meet (played by Jude Law and Jack Black), as well as personal growth they achieve along the way. And, in the past few years the big question on everyone\u2019s minds has been will there be more?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Jude Law was just asked his thoughts about saying \u201cyes\u201d to another <em>The Holiday<\/em> movie. Here\u2019s what he said:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Nancy Meyers would have to be involved. She was the magic that brought all that together.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Now, in August, it was announced that <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/were-finally-getting-holiday-years-184419866.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Holiday is being adapted into a miniseries;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\"><u><em>The Holiday<\/em><\/u><u> is being adapted into a miniseries<\/u><\/a> for those with <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/streaming-news\/apple-tv-subscription-the-plan-the-price-and-whats-included\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Apple TV+ subscriptions;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"><u>Apple TV+ subscriptions<\/u><\/a>. But rather than returning to the stories from the original, it sounds like it will be a remake. And no, Nancy Meyers is not involved. Following word getting out there, she reacted by writing on her Instagram story that it was \u201cnews to me\u201d and found out about it via the social media app like everyone else.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The creatives behind the new version of <em>The Holiday<\/em> will be <em>Sweetpea<\/em> writer\/executive producer Krissie Ducker and Rob Delaney. Suffice to say, it doesn\u2019t sound like Jude Law will be part of this one, and said this about what he knows about it:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">You know, I heard about it. I know nothing about it\u2026Nothing, other than I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m in it. I don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Nancy Meyers was the original writer, producer and director of <em>The Holiday<\/em>, and she has a specific appeal to her writing that has also made other movies like <em>Father of the Bride<\/em>, 1998\u2019s <em>The Parent Trap <\/em>and <em>Something\u2019s Gotta Give<\/em> memorable flair. For fans of the original, it\u2019s perhaps a bit of a red flag that both Meyers and its star Jude Law are not involved. Here\u2019s what Law said in the same interview with <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6eJArPK7HHI\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Today;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"><u><em>Today<\/em><\/u><\/a> about how he heard about it:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I think Nancy wrote to me and said, &#8216;Have you heard about this?&#8217; Literally.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Prior to <em>The Holiday<\/em> series being in development, Nancy Meyers said in 2022 that she didn\u2019t think she\u2019d do a sequel because she <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/movies\/following-the-holiday-2-rumors-writer-nancy-meyers-gets-honest-about-a-sequel-and-why-it-hasnt-happened-yet\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:didn\u2019t know how she wouldn\u2019t \u201cdisappoint\u201d fans;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"><u>didn\u2019t know how she wouldn\u2019t \u201cdisappoint\u201d fans<\/u><\/a> of the first movie.
