Disney is developing a re-imagining of “Splash”, the 1984 film which starred Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah a young man and a mermaid who fall in love.
Interestingly though, the remake is set to swap the gender roles, with Tatum on board to play a male version of Hannah’s character and Bell set to play Hanks’ role.
Deadline broke the news, reporting Marja-Lewis Ryan is writing the script.
Imagine’s Ron Howard and Bryan Grazer – who worked on the original – will produce along with Free Association’s Tatum, Reid Carolin and Peter Kieran. Imagine’s Anna Culp will exec produce.
