Eco-Intern

In this modern reimagining of "The Intern," a tech startup led by ambitious CEO Maya (played by Constance Wu of "Crazy Rich Asians") is revolutionizing the environmental industry with its eco-friendly products. To further their commitment to sustainability, the company launches a new intern program offering opportunities to individuals from diverse backgrounds.

Ben (played by Peter Gallagher of "Grace and Frankie"), a 70-year-old widower and environmental activist, is hired as an intern. His old-fashioned ways initially clash with the modern, fast-paced world of tech startups, leading to humorous situations and updated pop culture references.

As Maya struggles with her work-life balance and navigating a complex relationship with her non-binary significant other, Alex (played by Rain Dove), Ben becomes a mentor and confidante for her. Their intergenerational friendship blossoms, allowing them to learn from each other's experiences and perspectives.

When a scandal involving the company's environmental practices surfaces, Ben and Maya must work together to save the business and stay true to their values. Through this journey, they not only restore the company's reputation but also bring awareness to important social and environmental issues.

Also, in a nod to the original movie, a brief cameo from Anne Hathaway as Jules Ostin appears during a conference call scene to offer advice to Maya, pleasing fans of the 2015 film.

The film's diverse casting promotes representation on screen and tackles important themes such as mental health, LGBTQ+ rights, and environmental responsibility. The updated setting, incorporating contemporary technology and eco-conscious practices, resonates with modern audiences. This reinterpretation offers a fresh take on the beloved story while still preserving the heartwarming essence of the original "The Intern."
