According to the report, the producers behind the reboot are currently looking for “bold writers and/or directors” to update the project, with the producers looking to address modern times in the same way that the original Easy Rider did upon release.
The 1969 film Easy Rider is set for a reimagining, with Variety reporting that a reboot of the iconic film is currently in the works.
The film was later nominated for Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor (Jack Nicholson) at the Academy Awards.
Best known for its counterculture themes, Easy Rider explored the societal landscape, issues, and tensions surrounding adolescents in the United States in the 1960s, including the rise of the hippie movement, drug use, and more.
