Y&R's Eva Longoria and Alyvia Alyn Lind to star in Overboard remake opposite Anna Faris

The Young and the Restless' Eva Longoria (ex-Isabella Braa) and Alyvia Alyn Lind (Faith Newman) have landed roles in the upcoming remake of the 1980s Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell film Overboard.

Remakes are all the rage in Hollywood these days, and the next fun film getting a modern makeover is the 1980s Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell rom-com Overboard. But what makes this redo extra special is that two The Young and the Restless stars are taking part!

Both Eva Longoria (ex-Isabella Braa) and Alyvia Alyn Lind (Faith Newman) have signed on to the reimagining of the film being directed by Rob Greenberg and Bob Fisher.

The new Overboard is a bit reversed from the original film and stars Anna Faris as a single mother who convinces a wealthy amnesiac man (Eugenio Derbez) who's fallen off a yacht that he is her husband.

The remake of Overboard is scheduled for release on April 20, 2018.
