The Nutty Professor getting another remake might get mixed reactions from fans. Both Lewis and Murphy's versions were classics in their own rights, and it might be hard to find someone who can play such an iconic character as well as they did. However, no plot details about the new movie have been revealed yet, which leaves the possibility that Project X could try to go a whole different direction with this version.
