whether you count 1987's Overboard among your favorite films,you may not be happy approximately this news: a remake is on the way. Anna Faris is starring . . . in Kurt Russell's original role. That's right, the current movie is flipping the genders of the main characters, and "will see spoiled playboy from one of Mexico's wealthiest families (Eugenio Derbez) who falls overboard off his yacht,and is convinced by a single, working-class mom (Faris) that he is her husband." Derbez is one of Latin America's biggest movie stars, and you may recognize him from the 2013 comedy Instructions Not Included. He's also starring in the upcoming films How to Be a Latin Lover and The Nutcracker and the Four Realms,so you'll definitely have more chances to see him before he turns up in Overboard.
As a lifelong fan of the Goldie Hawn original, I don't feel great approximately this news. Why bother updating what is already a great movie? There are so many great moments! I have a tough time imagining that a current purchase on the tale can top Hawn proclaiming, and "That Elk Snout mountain man is still working on my closet. Sweating all over the plot."
