A new version of the romantic comedy You've Got Mail is currently in development. Orley is working on a script for the project, which is based on an earlier draft written by Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont. The original 1998 film, distributed by Warner Bros., starred Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks and achieved significant global commercial success, earning over 250 million dollars at the box office.

The classic plot centers on Kathleen Kelly, the owner of a small independent children's bookstore, and Joe Fox, the wealthy proprietor of a major book chain. Despite being fierce business rivals in their daily lives, the pair begins a clandestine romance through anonymous emails without knowing each other's true identities. While the original production featured a notable ensemble cast, including Greg Kinnear and Parker Posey, no release date has been set for this upcoming remake of the beloved story.
