Jennifer Lopez is in talks to star in Columbia’s remake of the romantic comedy "Overboard."
The 1987 original starred Kurt Russell, Goldie Hawn, Edward Herrmann, Katherine Helmond and Roddy McDowall. Garry Marshall directed from a script by Leslie Dixon.
The film centered on a spoiled heiress (Hawn) who falls off her yacht and is taken to the hospital. When she wakes up with amnesia, a widowed carpenter (Russell) convinces her that she is his wife and mother of his four boys.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Adam Cooper and Bill Collage worked on the new script, as did original screenwriter Dixon.
No director has been hired yet.
Will Smith is producing with his Overbrook production company partner James Lassiter.
Lopez’s last film was 2006's "El Cantante" and will be seen in the upcoming "The Back-up Plan."
