Vince Vaughn to revamp The Brady Bunch

HOLLYWOOD funnyman Vince Vaughn is rebooting classic 1970s telly show The Brady Bunch.

The Wedding Crashers star will act as executive producer on the project centring on one of America's most famous TV families.

The original cult sitcom, created by Sherwood Schwartz and starring Robert Reed and Florence Henderson, ran from 1969-1974.

It centered on Mike Brady (Reed), a widowed architect with three sons, Greg, Peter and Bobby, who marries Carol Ann Martin (Henderson), a single mother with three daughters, Marcia, Jan and Cindy.

The new-generation Brady Bunch will reflect the evolution of family dynamics since the show ended, according to show sources.

A divorced Bobby Brady, with children of his own, is remarried to a woman named Carol who also has kids.

Mike and Carol also have a child of their own together while their ex-spouses are still part of their lives

Back in 1969, Schwartz wanted Carol to be a divorcée but the network refused, so the end of her first marriage was never addressed.
