Thanks to Just Jared, we have confirmation that Jennifer Garner and Judy Greer will have appearances in the 13 Going on 30 reboot that is currently filming.

The original stars of the romantic-comedy were spotted on the set in Santa Monica, California, filming a scene with Emily Bader, who is starring in the modern reimagining.

As fans of the original know, Garner played the main character Jenna Rink, while Greer played the role of Lucy "Tom-Tom" Wyman, Jenna's friend-turned-enemy.
