With the early aughts likes of ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ getting sequels, studios are still raiding their back catalogues for titles with nostalgic connections for fans. And one such movie potentially getting the sequel treatment is 2003 Kate Hudson/Matthew McConaughey-starrer ‘How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.’

Hudson is aboard to produce the film, which is now in early development per Variety. The hope apparently is for her and McConaughey to reprise their roles.

“One of them is lying. So is the other.”

Release Date: Feb 7, 2003

Run Time: 1 hr 56 min

Budget: $50,000,000

So far, only Hudson and producer Stacey Sher are aboard, with backers Paramount on the search for a writer for a take that will lure everyone back.

What was the story of ‘How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days’?

The original movie followed the cat-and-mouse romance between magazine columnist Andie Anderson, played by Hudson, and McConaughey’s bro-ish advertising executive Benjamin Barry. Andie, as research for an article about modern dating, seduces Benjamin and then transforms herself into the girlfriend from hell.

Benjamin bets his boss he can make any woman fall for him, and Andie is his target. With a huge campaign on the line, he’s determined to make things stick. Naturally, true love blossoms from the absurd circumstances.

With no writer attached, we have zero plot details for the sequel.

What else is Kate Hudson working on?

Hudson’s most recent movie role was in last year’s ‘Song Sung Blue,’ for which she earned her second Oscar nomination. Coming up, she’s working on another rom-com, ‘Hello & Paris’ and is attached to thriller ‘Palm Grove.’

On smaller screens, she’s the lead in Netflix basketball comedy ‘Running Point,’ which scored a third season renewal back in May.
