Julie Bowen Is in for a 'Modern Family' Reboot. If She's Not Replaced by Sydney Sweeney
Ahead of the Happy Gilmore 2 premiere on Monday, July 21, Bowen admitted, while laughing, that she's said Sweeney's name so "often in this press tour." However, she did have one more joke about being replaced by the up-and-coming star when the topic of a Modern Family reboot came up.
While speaking with Variety, Bowen was asked if she'd be interested in bringing back the beloved ABC sitcom, which ran for 11 seasons.
"I mean, I'll say what I said to Adam [Sander]. Ok, I'll be there, just tell me where to go," Bowen said of the Modern Family reboot. "It's not up to us. If I had the skills to write—the writers on that show were so good. If [Steven] Levitan and [Christopher] Lloyd decide that this is something that they want to do, I'll be there."
"Unless they replace me with Sydney Sweeney," Bowen joked.
Bowen laughed and admitted, "I do love her. It's become a running joke. I've never met her, [but] I have so much respect for her; she's awesome, and I've said her name more times on this press tour."
Sweeney jokes aside, the 2000s sitcom would be a fun reboot possibility, and with many shows being brought back to life, it'll be interesting to see if Modern Family gets a second go-round.Julie Bowen Is in for a 'Modern Family' Reboot.

Aubrey Plaza to star as Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss
Aubrey Plaza is set to star as Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss in a new biopic. Titled The Heidi Fleiss Story, the dark comedy will follow the final days leading up to Fleiss' 1993 arrest, when authorities exposed her high-end prostitution ring operating in Los Angeles, Deadline reports. Plaza will star in and produce the film through her company, Evil Hag. The project marks her first major role since the death of her husband, filmmaker Jeff Baena, in January this year. Fleiss rose to prominence in the early 1990s for allegedly running a secretive operation that catered to celebrities, media executives and other powerful figures. She was said to have taken over the business from her mentor, convicted madam Elizabeth 'Madam Alex' Adams, and expanded it into a multimillion-dollar enterprise. That empire collapsed in June 1993, when Fleiss was arrested and later charged with pandering, tax evasion and money laundering. Prosecutors alleged she laundered more than $1.5 million (£1.1 million) through shell companies and false records. The case drew national headlines, fuelled by speculation over a list of high-profile clients. The list remains sealed to this day. Plaza has been gradually returning to public life following Baena's death by suicide. In February, she appeared on SNL50: The Anniversary Special, wearing a pink tie-dyed T-shirt - a subtle tribute to the couple's wedding-day attire. The pair had been together for more than a decade, but had separated in the months before Baena's death.
