Anna Faris and Eugenio Derbez have signed on to star in the MGM/Pantelion Films/ 3Pas Studios film Overboard, a re-imaging to the 1987 comedy that starred Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. Rob Greenberg and Bob Fisher are attached to write and direct the film, which is slated for a May production start date in Vancouver.
The new rendition will feature a role reversal from the original and focus on a spoiled playboy from one of Mexico’s wealthiest families (Derbez) who falls overboard off his yacht and is convinced by a single, working-class mom (Faris) that he is her husband.
