Rumors are swirling about a possible remake of the beloved movie Overboard, reportedly set for release in 2024 and starring Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey.
A viral poster circulating primarily on Facebook teases the remake, depicting McConaughey and Hudson in the lead roles, reminiscent of the iconic scene where the characters jump off a boat into the ocean. The poster suggests a July 2024 release date.
This wouldn’t be the first remake of Overboard, with a 2018 version featuring Eugenio Derbez and Anna Faris. However, that remake received mixed reviews despite its commercial success.
As for the rumored remake with McConaughey and Hudson, there are no official confirmations yet, and the poster and synopsis are fan-made. The idea may have originated from a 2011 tweet by actress Emma Roberts, suggesting the casting.
Original star Goldie Hawn has expressed skepticism about remakes, stating that the original film was “perfect as it was.” She believes that classic films should be left untouched.
While fans eagerly await news of the remake, both McConaughey and Hudson have busy schedules. McConaughey recently wrapped up filming for The Rivals of Amziah King and is set to star in The Lost Bus. Meanwhile, Hudson will appear in the psychological thriller Shell alongside Elisabeth Moss.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding the remake, fans can still enjoy the original 1987 Overboard, which is streaming for free on Tubi, along with its 2018 remake available for purchase on most digital platforms.
