If you’re a Steve Martin fan, you likely know the film Cheaper By The Dozen. While the Steve Martin version is a remake of the 1950 film, now another remake is in the works. This time, it will star Zach Braff and Gabrielle Union as the parents of a whole lot of children. The film will air on Disney+.

The Steve Martin version of Cheaper By The Dozen starred Steve with Bonnie Hunt as his wife. Steve’s character Tom had to learn how to juggle a new demanding job and raise 12 children, which ages ranged from 5 to 22.
