A few months ago, producer Brian Grazer let it slip that he was working on a remake of Splash with a twist. As many expected, that twist now appears to be a gender swap as Deadline reports that Channing Tatum has been cast in the role Darryl Hannah took on in the original while Jillian Bell will assume the Tom Hanks role. Disney has also hired Marja-Lewis Ryan to pen the script while Grazer and Ron Howard will once again produce.
What do you think of this remake project?
