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.

This woman is cinematic herpes.
-
...of a terrible film to begin with!
-
too far away?
-
If this doesn't go direct to DVD, I'll eat a shoe with Werner Herzog.
-
to watch if you catch it on cable while flipping through stations. Though it is hard to get over the creepiness factor of a woman (spoiler) willingly at the end of the movie embracing and marrying the man who essentially kidnapped and brainwashed her and did all of this with the knowledge of his little kids.
-
Jennifer Love Hewitt will now play the mom, and Miley Cyrus will play the daughter. Gene Hackman will come out of retirement to reprise his legendary role from the original. Jason Lee's moustache will be working craft services.
-
(alleged) race-based casting, due to Big Willy's hiring another "NON-WHITE" leading thespian, thus passing over a more deserving White actress
Hopefully, he'll cast Ralph Macchio as the male lead to placate AICN's resident Karate Kid detractors. LOL! -
Starring Lil' Wayne.
-
... making another unworthy remake with an actress that is irrelevant?
-
With Denzel Washington in the Edward Norton role. Will Smiths son can play the Eddie Furlong part.
-
Starring the Jonas Bros.
-
Starring Barry Bonds.
-
the last glimpse of Goldie's ass before it became cottage cheese and the garbage scow captain who had to fook her.
-
The original is highly underrated fun. Who the hell are they going to find as good as Kurt Russell?
-
Starring Jaden Smith as Goldie.
-
Starring Adam Lambert.
-
with Sam Jackson as John McClane and Bruce Willis as the token white partner who gets accidentally mixed in the action.
-
Let's ask Spike Lee what he thinks as far as casting.
-
Also, we all know this won't capture the genuine spirit of the real Overboard. It will be OINO.
-
Goldie Hawn had a mighty fine ass in that one. I think the director also thought so since most of the shots seemed to be up her skirt throughout the movie.
Also, I'm pretty sure the stuntman whos legs were sticking out during the car chase must have had his leg shattered when that truck hits him. -
That guy should have the career Will Smith has.
-
And also will it be in 3-D?
-
Seriously? Are studios so hard up for cash that they won't pay for original scripts? Just use and reuse the same scripts in their possession over and over and over again?
-
Starring Jaden Smith.
-
The last time I saw Theo was an episode of Dexter where he played Rita's lawyer. He was unrecognizable behind the weight and outdated dreads.
-
As long as somebody drops a bunch of pennies and Rain Will goes "50 cents, yeah 50 cents" and then the actual 50 Cent walks through the scene like Hitchcock used to in his films.
-
Last I saw Rudy she was getting kicked off Celebrity Mole.
-
Eddie Murphy
-
Remake that, and E.T. Plus Close Encounters and you will find that the big money men like Spielberg and Luca$h will start the anti remake crusade... They laugh when its other peoples films.. Hollywood idiots. Imagine if Dumas had sent in the Three Musketeers and they would have told him, naw.. just remake Romeo and Juliet.
-
Li'l Wayne
-
Ironic considering he produced The Haunting remake which was God awful.
-
Please make it stop.
-
This time they're Asian!
-
Tracy Morgan and Bruce Willis directed by Kevin Smith
-
Jaden Smith plays every part through the magic of CGI.
-
Will Smith sucks. End of story.
-
This original movies is so much a favorite of mine and I will love to see Vince Vaughns cast as a Kurt Russels and put a big 3-D Swinger cock in Salinas fat ass!
One thing I will also love to see Vince Vaughns put a big Swingers cock in is a hit movies Alice in a Pile of Shit 3-D that you can read a review for here

I know it's cliche to complain about Hollywood's endless remakes, but to remake movies from the 80's is just really, really sad. I saw 30 years (which would allow 1980, I know) should be the line in the sand.
-
I enjoy all those movies. Other than that I can't say I've seen any of her work. Actually, I'd kinda forgotten about her.
-
This is like re-making The Godfather! Overboard is a classic of American cinema that should not be touched, a masterwork in the flawless career of that genius auteur Garry Marshall. Why don't they redo the Sistine Chapel while they're at it...I'm being sarcastic here, in case you didn't notice.
-
Method and Red
-
thong one piece swimsuit like Goldie did in the original? because that might actually make it worthwhile
-
Hey Will Smith and all dumb fucks in Hollywood...GO FUCK YOURSELVES IN THE ASSHOLES WITH A CHAINSAW WRAPPED IN BARBED WIRE AND DIPPED IN BATTERY ACID YOU UNCREATIVE, UNORIGINAL HACKS!!!
-
eventually Hollywood is gonna wind up remaking every movie ever made, including Space Mutiny and Yor: The Hunter From The Future
-
considering how awful the first one was.
-
I love that South Park episode

-
Now that's got potential.
-
Is she funding these movies herself? She's a terrible actress, has the charisma of wilted lettuce and her only claim to fame, her ass, was replaced by much younger and shapelier asses a long time ago. She needs to hang it up already.

Good luck with a remake of the movie that put Guy Ritchie in the doghouse for years.
-
...Box Office Poison
-
yeah the titles and concepts may have some name recognition, but there are way too many that end up being giant financial flops other than the cheap to make slasher film remakes. I mean look at The Wolfman. It cost well over 100 million dollars, and it probably won't even make that much in theaters.

you know where this is going....

technically, it's better to remake a shitfest than a good movie
by sirbiatchreturns
so we'll see how this turns out. I haven't seen the original Overboard, but if it's not that great, I think a remake is justified, instead of a remake of an already-classic film that doesn't require a remake.oh, and I know some of you talkbackers died a little inside when you saw Will Smith's name. lmao. your hatred makes me laugh.
-
Is it just me or is Hollywood just out of ideas for new movies, so they are looking into the vault and thinking "hmmm, which movie to chose for a remake?"
-
no body be wantin to raise no ugly chick kids

badonka donk

Another terrible J Lo film. Tacto flavored kisses.
by basement_cheetoh_eater
Seriously, has she been in anything that succeeded ie became profitable? Honestly, the only thing about her that remains worthy of mention is the charicature of her on South Park. Her career is shit.
-
I think Anthony Anderson would be awesome at the morally challenged carpenter.
-
and only remembers how to speak spanish?
-
do it and I'll marry into your family
-
best gig he ever had
free floss during the thong scenes -
the birds are killing themselves
Last bird squawking has to look at jlos ass -
there's a spiders nest you don't want to go pokin with a stick
-
That would be pretty damn funny
-
Must have been a rainy Saturday afternoon, and he just happened to be watching '80s flicks (on basic cable) with his wife and kids. During the commercial breaks - that's when the creativity and originality REALLY began to flow.
-
Ok man you had me fighting so hard not to bust out laughing at work w/that American History X starring Denzel bit
-
You won't make Robo-Snoop
We wouldn't Suribe

-
there's really no need to remake it. Kurt Russell did a fine job.
-
In my world, SELENA was 'cannon' in the BSG universe, so I get pissed when people bag on JLO because shes Adamas daughter (which is BTW precisely why this is cool news).
Let the taco eater have her movie, guys...
PEACE -
Directed by Brett Ratner.
-
A Kirsten Dunst vid
It's actually fun
Damn you McG -
...aren't half bad, and several others are at least as good as what Hollywood is suggesting. And they seem to like Roddy McDowell movies; they've remade Planet of the Apes, They're remaking Fright Night and this, what's next, It! the movie about the Golem attacking london?
-
That'll send a damn message to Hollywood. Get your own roles, minorities! All you do now is go and grab an old movie and drop a black person in it. Maybe I need to cast a white guy in a Martin Luther King biopic...as King.
Coming up next, "George Washington" starring Will Smith! -
"When then I guess we're gonna have to send the ole ball & chain out to get some more" ...........always found that line to be really funny.
-
Will smith has always undertood his position in hollywood. "it doesnt mater in hollywood if your black" smith once said, "Hollywoods bottom line is green". will smith knows this very well. which is why a few years ago they were going to rename the 4th july weekend will smith weekend. Smith was the very last actor to open a film on that weekend and guarantee a smash. all of smiths films that opened the 4th july were bo smashes. the deal which he made with sony was that not only would he star in the movie that opened that day, but that he would release the song for the movie. He is the last actor to be a product. his is too rich too make music, these days, he doesnt have to make films, so he gets his kid, to star in them. I think his acting days are over. he is far to rich to that these days.

but the thought of jlo peeling off her crusty thong just puts me off my game
-
with Danny Glover, Martin Lawrence, Tracy Morgan, and Chris Rock...
oh, wait... -
with Cedric the Entertainer and Mike Epps....
oh, wait... -
They did kind of remake PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES. Sure, they called it "TOMMY BOY", but they can't fool me.
-
...Instead of three raidens, have three pimps!
-
Laserblast! Crappy movie, but cool idea; this gem is from way back in the 1970s. Some picked on teen finds an alien weapon in the desert and wreaks havoc with it.
-
It's one of my favorite movies and I hope they don't screw it up...although a sequel TV show where the Proffits are adjusting to her society world would be better...
-
Fuck him and his douche bag
-
Most remakes are bad enough, but just the idea of htis one makes me wanna puke chunks on the memory of how hot Goldie used to be!

is this gonna be a more serious take?
by beyondthunderdome2girls1cupbillcosby
cause jlo isn't really funny.
-
They (and obviously Smith) are forgetting that Goldie Hawn was a well-beloved actress at the time and that even when playing a stuck-up bitch, audiences loved her because they knew it was only temporary. Lopez, on the other hand, couldn't play a bitch turned lovable mother if she tried non-stop for 20 years - a bitch she is and a bitch she stays. This role would have been better served by someone such as Sandra Bullock or even Drew Barrymore, women who audiences will buy as capable of transformation. Lopez not so much. She's awful.
-
Most annoying and overrated celebrtiy EVER.
-
She seems to think she deserves an Oscar for her acting performances.
-
Whenever a remake of a beloved geek film gets announced someone invariably argues that it would make more sense to remake a shitty film and try to make it better. All goodwill towards Russell and Hawn aside, "Overboard" was a crappy film. So why NOT remake it?
-
But that goes without saying, really.
-
I mean, the utter lived-in look of Kurt Russell's house. It looks real. YOU KNOW they're going to fuck that up. And those kids weren't trying to steal the show... they were perfect. Kid actors today are too clean, to motivated, too hip... to Disneyified. You're going to get smart-ass grandstanders, which is just obnoxious... and not in the right way. Lastly, good luck finding someone that will have the same level of chemistry with J.Lo as Russell did with Hawn. HA. And I don't mean it has to be someone exactly like Kurt, either. Although Clooney would be fun... but no one is going to buy that he's down on his luck in anything. That man's DNA is manscaped. Basically, this is an ENORMOUS mistake... and I like you, Will Smith, but puh-leeze.
-
Jaden Smith. Oh yeah, if it doesn't have _________ from the original, then it will have raped my childhood! Remakes are just a fact of Hollywood life. It is just that movies are getting stupider and stupider.

Anyone, anyone, but Lopez.

I agree w/ above; how do you NOT do this w/ Kate Hudson and McConaughey? I mean, seriously.
-
What? Brown people can't own yachts?
-
its not that Brown people can't own yachts.
its that they can't swim. -
I am actually a fan of the original's charm. It is what it is, and it gets the job done. The only thing that J-Lo will contribute to this package is Churros.
-
At least remake a movie worthy of being remade!!!
-
zing!
-
Only this time use a *real* pedophile to play Freddy. What *is* Jeffery Jones up to now a days anyway?
