Overboard Star Emphasizes Importance Of Films' Gender Swap
- 6 years ago
Mexican comedy star Eugenio Derbez wants to upend cultural clichés.
He joined TheWrap’s Stuart Brazell to discuss his upcoming comedy “Overboard,” a remake of the classic 1987 romantic comedy about a spoiled millionaire who suffers amnesia after falling off a ship and is forced to live in squalor.
But while the original film starred Goldie Hawn as the billionaire, with Kurt Russell as the mistreated carpenter who takes her in after her memory loss, the new “Overboard” switches the genders.
