Steve Carr has been confirmed as the director for a remake of 1930s romantic comedy Love On A Bet.

The 1936 RKO original was helmed by Leigh Jason and featured Gene Raymond as young playwright Michael MacCreigh.

MacCreigh makes a bet with his rich uncle that he can make a trip across America, starting in a New York wearing only his pants, and end up in California with $100, a suit and a fianceé.

Carr's credits include Dr. Dolittle 2, Daddy Day Care and another RKO remake Are We Done Yet?.

He told The Hollywood Reporter: "I've done hip-hop videos, family comedies, a quirky comedy.

"What I've always loved are movies like When Harry Met Sally and The Sure Thing. This will be my first swing at a romantic comedy."
