Jennifer Lopez Goes OVERBOARD As Will Smith Produces Another Remake!!

Merrick here...
As Will Smith's Overbrook prepares for the Summer release of its KARATE KID remake, the company has already targeted another redux: 1987's OVERBOARD.

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.

...says THR HERE. The original film was written by MRS. DOUBTFIRE's Leslie Dixon and directed by THE Garry Marshall. THR says...

Adam Cooper and Bill Collage worked on the current script, as did Leslie Dixon.

Cooper & Collage wrote ACCEPTED back 'round 2006. No word on who'll direct this time around.
