Cheaper By The Dozen Trailer: Zach Braff & Gabrielle Union Lead Disney Reboot
Walt Disney Studios debuts the official trailer for Cheaper By the Dozen with stars Zach Braff and Gabrielle Union. The film reboots the 2003 picture of the same name from 20th Century Fox. Disney acquired Fox in early 2019 and announced in August of that same year they were planning to reimagine the family classic. The 2003 movie was itself a reboot from the 1950 picture also named Cheaper by the Dozen, loosely based on the book by Frank Bunker Gilbreth Jr. and his brother Ernestine Gilbreth Carey.
The 2003 picture starred Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt as the heads of the Baker family and was surrounded by a cast of talented young actors like Hillary Duff, Alyson Stoner, and Liliana Mumy and was directed by Shawn Levy.

While critics panned the film, citing a general lack of humor, audiences flocked to the theaters bringing the title #2 in the highest-grossing films of its opening weekend. This excitement from audiences led to a sequel in 2005 that met similar reception.
