Eva Longoria
Eva Longoria has joined the cast of the Overboard
remake at MGM, and also stars Anna Faris and
Eugenio Derbez and is based on the 1987 romantic
comedy starring Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn. The
remake will be co-directed and written by Rob
Greenberg (How I Met Your Mother) and Bob Fisher
(We’re the Millers). The original movie will be re-
imagined with a reversal of the leading roles. 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’s her husband.
