There are plenty of reboots on the way, and the latest is 'Father Of The Bride'.

The classic rom-com has had a make-over, and is coming soon to HBO.

A trailer has come out, and fans are very excited.

Andy Garcia and Gloria Estefan star in the remake, but it's not going to be a carbon copy of the original.

The remake features a 21st century bride who proposed to her fiancé.

The Caucasian family of the original has been replaced by a Cuban-American family.

Watch the trailer below:

It follows the story of father of the bride Billy, played by Garcia.

The proud father struggles to cope with the preparations for his daughter Sophie's (Adria Arjona)big day.

He spends a fortune on a wedding planner, and tries to love his son-in-law Adam (played by Diego Boneta).

Behind the scenes he's also dealing with marital problems behind the scenes.

Marriage counselling doesn't go to plan, and he and his wife Ingrid (Estafan) are considering divorce.

They're trying to keep the news a secret from the family until the wedding day has happened.

Garcia told EW: "His marriage to his wife is on the rocks.

"It's sliding downhill and is on a slippery slope, not because they don't love each other. We've kind of grown into different spaces, and we take our marriage for granted at this point."

"There was both an honour and an obligation to deliver a story that's within the Latin cultures, in this case, the Cuban and the Mexican, trying to relate to one another.

"There's an obligation to do it right, represent it without stereotypes, in a way that, although it's culturally specific, its themes are universal. 

"The fact that we're two Latin cultures blending in that movie — to Anglos that might seem weird because they might pile us all into one lump, when we have these subtle differences."
