Production company New Line hopes to start filming as soon as possible once coronavirus lockdown restrictions are relaxed.
Before the pandemic took hold, the film was slated to start production in late spring.

She said she managed to lift her spirits during isolation by dancing and growing a vegetable patch in her garden, which she has used to create some delicious dishes.
Florence has been isolating with her boyfriend Zach Braff, 45, and recently had to defend her relationship after being attacked by trolls.
Sharing a lengthy video on Instagram, the star said she should not be told who she ‘should and shouldn’t love,’ after her birthday tribute to Zach was hit by a torrent of abusive comments.
