Magic Mike star Channing Tatum is to play the mermaid in a remake of 1984's film Splash, taking the role played by Darryl Hannah, according to reports.

The original film saw Tom Hanks play a man saved from drowning as a boy by a mermaid, who he meets 20 years later.

Tatum - who will presumably be a merman - is set to co-star with Jillian Bell, according to Hollywood Reporter.

Apparently remakes have to be re-imaginings now with the main characters as opposite the original as possible. Too bad Hollywood is so afraid of new IP. I understand that it's less of a sure bet, but without it we are stuck with remakes, sequels, and bad book adaptations forever.

Next we should see:
Will Smith as the Mannequin in Mannequin 2016 (opposite Melissa McCarthy).
The Godfather with all the Corleones played by Kardashians
Predator with an all-female cast of Marines (Katherine Heigl as Dutch of course).
Pulp Fiction with Carrot Top as Jules, and Terry Crews and Vincent.
The Goonies (oddly enough still starring Sean Astin) with Rosie O'Donnell as Sloth.
