Tracy Morgan and Martin Lawrence are joining Chris Rock in Screen Gems and Sidney Kimmel Entertainment's remake of Death at a Funeral, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Also joining the cast are Loretta Devine, Ron Glass, Danny Glover, Regina Hall, James Marsden, Zoe Saldana and Columbus Short.

Neil LaBute is directing the ensemble comedy in which a funeral ceremony turns into a debacle of misplaced cadavers and family secrets. When things can't get any worse, a man arrives saying he's the dead man's gay lover and threatens blackmail.

Rock, who co-wrote the script with Ayesha Carr, is producing with Sidney Kimmel, Share Stalling, Lawrence Malkin and William Horberg.

I say lame 😬

the 2007 British one is good enough as it is and i'm guessing they're only doing this because they think american audiences could'nt understand british humor some crap like that.

I'm English and didn't find the original that funny, quite a mediocre film actually, bit of a strange remake lol. Wasn't the gay lover in the original the dwarf? Peter Dinklage was one of the highlights of the original film.

Don't think I will be going anywhere near the remake, not a fan of most of the cast and the director is the guy who made the terrible Wickerman remake, so I don't have high hopes.

Wow, this is ridiculous. I understand remakes across different languages, but Death at a Funeral is already in English. I highly doubt the remake will be as good.

um... i LOVED death at a funeral. hilarious. !!

so now there's a need to all "ebonize" it up? well, at least the wayans brothers aren't behind this one. chris rock is pretty good ; there might be some chuckleworthy moments... but then again, with some of the material in the first one, there's a chance for some major eugh-moments.
