In the original film, directed by Garry Marshall, Goldie Hawn played wealthy heiress Joanna Stayton who acts terribly towards carpenter Dean Proffitt (Kurt Russell) while he works on her husband’s (Edward Herrmann) yacht. When she falls overboard and gets amnesia, Dean brings her back to his house and convinces her that she’s his wife and the mother of his children. Though it begins as revenge, they eventually fall in love. This version of the film will feature a gender swap, with Derbez playing a playboy from a wealthy Mexican family who gets amnesia. Faris will play a single working mom who convinces them that they’re married.
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures (MGM) and Pantelion Films presents Overboard, a fresh take on the iconic romantic comedy. In a splashy new twist, Overboard focuses on “Leonardo” (Eugenio Derbez), a selfish, spoiled, rich playboy from Mexico’s richest family and “Kate” (Anna Faris), a working class single mom of three hired to clean Leonardo’s luxury yacht. After unjustly firing Kate and refusing to pay her, Leonardo falls overboard when partying too hard and wakes up on the Oregon coast with amnesia. Kate shows up at the hospital and, to get payback, convinces Leonardo he is her husband and puts him to work – for the first time in his life. At first miserable and inept, Leonardo slowly settles in. Eventually he earns the respect of his new “family” and co-workers. But, with Leonardo’s billionaire family hot on their trail and the possibility of his memory returning at any moment, will their new family last or will Leonardo finally put the clues together and leave them for good? Overboard is a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures and Pantelion Films of a 3Pas Studios production.
