Anna Faris, Eugenio Derbez to Star in ‘Overboard’ Remake With Leading Roles Reversed

quote:

Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell, and Edward Herrmann starred in the 1987 original directed by Garry Marshall. Hawn played a selfish heiress who got amnesia when she fell off her yacht and Russell portrayed a carpenter who ultimately fell in love with her. The remake will be co-directed and written by Rob Greenberg (“How I Met Your Mother”) and Bob Fisher (“We’re the Millers”). Ben Odell and Derbez will produce through their 3Pas Studios.

Original was a classic.

This one will be dumb with low brow humor.

Kurt Russell is Chris Pratt's dad and now, his wife.

They have to reverse the rolls, otherwise it is kidnapping and rape. It's all just good fun this way with the rolls reversed.

Exactly. No chance you could remake the original as is today

Not edgy enough. Should be Anna Farris hooking up with another single mom of 3 that is now gay.

"So...anybody got any ideas?"

:crickets:

"Uhh...we might could remake Overboard. Maybe update it a little by reversing the gender roles"

"Anyone have anything else?"

:crickets:

"Alright, lets go with the Overboard remake."

Ana Faris is pretty funny so hopefully she can make something of it.

But I agree on the remakes in Hollywood.

No one better touch my "smokey and the bandit"

Goldie was a smokeshow in the original.

You wanna remake Overboard?
Put Anna Faris in the Goldie Hawn role. (she's a really good comedic actress who can play a ditzy blonde)
Put Chris Pratt in the Kurt Russell role. (he's a really good comedic actor who can play a likable blowhard)
Sit back and let the money roll right in.

Passengers was a stealth Pratt Overboard remake.

It didn't do that well.

It took a lot of shite for SJW reasons, will be interesting to see if that is raised with a real Overboard with the roles reversed. Lol, like that would happen.

Could be interesting if they would cast Kate Hudson, not swap the gender roles, and have some other guy than that creepy looking dude play Russel's part.

at Overboard, the movie about a guy kidnapping a rich lady w/amnesia so she can be his house slave, being some untouchable classic.

I guess they realized Stockholm syndrome is in again w/Beauty and Beast coming out.

You might want to watch the original again if you think it wasn't also dumb and filled with low brow humor.

you sound like a hoot. Are you male or female?


to the OP, this is going to suck hard enough to pull a vacuum on an onion sack. I wish Hwood would just quit spending money on anything that isn't original.
