“13 Going on 30 is one of those rare, perfect films. Funny, emotional, [and] deeply human, with unforgettable performances from Jennifer Garner, Mark Ruffalo, and Judy Greer. I’m a longtime fan, so stepping into this reimagining comes with tremendous responsibility. Jennifer Garner being on board as an executive producer, after playing such a big part of what made the original special, is especially meaningful. I feel incredibly lucky to be trusted with something that means so much to so many people,” director Haley tells Tudum.
