The original Splash came out in 1984.
The remake of Splash is moving forward with a new screenwriter. The original 1984 film, which was directed by Ron Howard, starred Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah. It followed Hanks as a young man who reunites with the mermaid who saved him as a child and falls in love with her. A remake starring Workaholics and 22 Jump Street star Jillian Bell was announced in 2016 but still hasn't materialized.
However, per Deadline, the Splash remake isn't dead in the water. They are moving forward with a new draft of the script. The screenwriter attached to this retooled version is Sarah Rothschild, who penned the 2020 Netflix film The Sleepover as well as the upcoming Rebel Wilson cruise ship comedy Rocking the Boat.Everything We Know About the Splash Remake The remake of Splash has had a long journey to the screen.
Channing Tatum was originally set to co-star with Bell, but at this time it does not seem that he is involved in this iteration of the project. This may be due to the fact that, between 2016 and the time of writing, he took a four-year break from acting.
Along with Free Association, Disney and Imagine are also on board the project. However, little information has been revealed about the film or its original draft. It is unknown whether the new direction for the Splash remake will make huge changes in terms of tone or overall plot, but is likley considering the ground-up reworking taking place.
