Jennifer Lopez to Star in Sony's New Remake of Overboard

by Ethan Anderton
March 18, 2010

While you would think that with her sinking career she might have already been tossed of the success ship, THR reports Jennifer Lopez is looking to star in the remake of the 1987 romantic comedy Overboard. The original film starring Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn and directed by Garry Marshall followed a snooty, spoiled woman who falls off her yacht and is taken to the hospital by a local, morally challenged carpenter. When she wakes up with amnesia, he convinces her she is his wife, thereby gaining a free new housekeeper for his four boys. Personally I don't think there is anything romantic or funny about this. It's just pure evil!

Lopez has been struggling since Gigli, but she's never really had any great films before that. The only ones I can recall immediately that I enjoyed were Out of Sight and Jack (yes, the one starring Robin Williams as a man-child which was directed by, are you ready for this, Francis Ford Coppola). Unfortunately things aren't looking up, as her new film The Back-Up Plan looks like it was a back-up plan itself since she hasn't been getting any decent roles. Maybe she can turn it around with this remake which hot writers Adam Cooper and Bill Collage (their scripts for Moby Dick, Marco Polo, Tower Heist and more have all sold recently) scripted along with Leslie Dixon (Mrs. Doubtfire, Hairspray, The Heartbreak Kid). Anyone miss J. Lo at all?

Why miss her? It's not like she had a ton of movies that were good to begin with. What 2 movies out of 20.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Just No. That was an excruciating movie to begin with, this would be even worse. It will also probably be in 3D, which means it will give you a migraine while you LOSE ALL FAITH IN HUMANITY. fun.

Skip JLo... An Overboard remake? I just don't see anyone pulling off Goldie Hawn, except maybe her daughter. I loved the cheesiness and fun of the original Overboard and don't think a remake will be successful.

Hi, I'm a student from Raanana (Israel). I have to analyze how much time someone spend on internet. There are websites which are a guilty pleasure, but there are websites which only have a visits duration of 40 seconds. I would like to know how much time do you spend on internet (day/week/month). Thanks for your help! Nico
