Overboard is the kind of �80s movie I�m okay with Hollywood revisiting in theory. It�s beloved � but it�s still just Overboard. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jennifer Lopez is in talks to star in a remake of the 1987 Goldie Hawn-Kurt Russell classic* for Will Smith�s production company. No word on if she�ll play a rich woman who falls off her yacht, gets amnesia, and then is tricked by the sweaty carpenter she previously pissed off into thinking she�s his wife/housekeeper/babymaker/mini-golf course artist. But per the trade, Leslie Nixon, who wrote the original film (as well as Outrageous Fortune!), is among the scribes who�ve worked on the script, so fingers crossed.
What do you think? If I can�t watch Lopez in a role as good as Karen Sisco in Out of Sight, then I�m fine with her making another movie that I could very well end up watching some Saturday afternoon on TBS� Movie and a Makeover (see: Monster-in-Law, The Wedding Planner, Maid in Manhattan, and the upcoming The Back-Up Plan). I do think she has her work cut out for her though: She�ll need a costar with whom she has as much chemistry as Hawn did Russell (Matthew McConaughey could be shirtless as a carpenter, yes?), as well as a way to top Hawn�s deliciously dry delivery:
