Anna Faris, Eugenio Derbez to star in 'Overboard' remake

Anna Faris and Eugenio Derbez are set to star in the remake of romantic comedy "Overboard." The original movie, which starred Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell and Edward Herrmann, will be re-imagined with a reversal of the leading roles, reported Variety.

The story will focus on a spoiled playboy from one of Mexico's wealthiest families, portrayed by Derbez, who falls overboard off his yacht. He's then convinced by Faris' single, working-class mom that he is her husband.

In the 1987 original directed by Garry Marshall, Hawn played a selfish heiress, who got amnesia when she fell off her yacht, while Russell portrayed a carpenter, who ultimately fell in love with her.

The remake will be co-directed and written by Rob Greenberg and Bob Fisher.
