princess 1,710 Report post Posted March 19, 2010 NNooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jennifer Lopez goes 'Overboard' THR EXCLUSIVE By Borys Kit March 18, 2010, 11:00 PM ET Lopez is in talks to star in the remake of the romantic comedy "Overboard," which Overbrook is producing for Columbia. The 1987 movie, which starred Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn and was directed by Garry Marshall, centered on 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 getting a free housekeeper for his four boys. Adam Cooper and Bill Collage worked on the current script, as did Leslie Dixon. Will Smith is producing with Overbrook partner James Lassiter. The UTA-repped Lopez, who hasn't appeared in a movie since 2006's "El Cantante," next stars in "The Back-up Plan," which opens April 23. "Overboard" appears to signal she's ready to make a more concerted push into pics. hollywoodreporter.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HoneyBunny 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2010 I agree with you Princess. I saw that movie with my Mom when I was a teenager and we both loved it. :4biggrin: Now she still has the VHS and I have the DVD. That cute little comedy that stars REAL LIFE lovers needs to remain untouched by J-Lo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GovMarley 90 Report post Posted March 22, 2010 Why? Why? WHY?! This is one of my all-time favorite movies. She is ridiculous, and there is no freakin' way this movie needs a remake. Please say this is a joke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
