Which is also why the Diary of a Wimpy Kid films — inactive since 2012’s Dog Days – -is starting over with a band of fresh-faced wimps.
THR reports that Fox and Color Force have cast Jason Ian Drucker has been recast as the new Greg Heffley, which will be based on the book Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul.
Zachary Gordon was cast as Greg Heffley, the titular Wimpy Kid, back in 2010, and helped 20th Century Fox crank out three adaptations from Jeff Kinney’s best-selling books.
But Gordon was looking mature in Dog Days, so for the franchise to continue, it’s about to go younger.
