In a recent interview, producer Brian Grazer has assured that a new installment of «One, two, three ... Splash» is already underway, on a project by Grazer himself and Ron Howard of Imagine Entertainment.
Although the producer did not want to reveal any details about this remake, he did want to make it clear that: «We are going to make a new 'Splash'. We will do it from another point of view and we already have a star hired, but I can't say anything about it ».
Some rumors suggest that the idea of the new installment would be framed in the script acquired by Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment in 2009 entitled 'Merman'. In this way, the story written by Jennifer Abu Hollander and Jeff Moskowitz would tell us the romance of a male mermaid who comes to earth ready to win back his mermaid girlfriend, who previously abandoned him for a human.
Thus, the prism of this story would be the male point of view, a male mermaid who would be involved in a love triangle.
Let us remember that the premiere of the first film, in the 80s was a huge box office success, grossing $ 70 million worldwide, of those of that time. Additionally, the film was the definitive release for both director Ron Howard and stars Tom Hanks and Darry Hannah.
On that occasion, Tom Hanks He put face to Allen Bauer, an inhabitant of New York without much luck in the field of love, until he rescues a beautiful mermaid (Daryl Hannah). This time it seems that the story will have a turn ... »spectacular», in the words of the producer.
As we say, the producer of hits as famous as 'Bowfinger, the rogue' or the Oscar winner 'An amazing mind' ('A Beautiful Mind') has stated that there is already a Hollywood star very interested in the project, without giving, of course, any information about the name.
