Channing Tatum is set to take on the role of a merman in the upcoming remake of Disney’s “Splash,” and fans are buzzing with excitement. It seems the producers know just how hard it is for us to step away from our favorite Tatum films for a night at the movies. This reimagining of the beloved 1984 classic will see Tatum stepping into the role originally played by Daryl Hannah. The plot follows a mermaid who saves a young boy from drowning, only to return 20 years later to offer him a choice between life on land or under the sea with her, according to reports from The Hollywood Reporter.
The Allure of a Shimmering Tatum
Who could resist the allure of a shimmering Tatum and a fantastical underwater adventure? While the script details remain under wraps, it’s safe to assume that the essence of the original story will remain, albeit with Tatum portraying a merman. Jillian Bell, known for her comedic chops, will take on the role made famous by Tom Hanks. With Tatum’s well-toned physique and charm, there’s little doubt that this film is poised to be a box office success.
A Relatable Star
Beyond his looks, Tatum embodies a relatable vibe that resonates with audiences. He often shares heartfelt moments of his life with his wife and daughter on social media, making him a family-friendly star. This balance of being both attractive and down-to-earth will surely contribute to the success of “Splash.”
On-Screen Chemistry
If you’re a fan of Tatum, you might remember his hilarious performance in “22 Jump Street,” where he shared the screen with Bell. The two have a great chemistry that will undoubtedly shine in this new project. The decision to cast Bell, who has roots in improv and a writing background with “Saturday Night Live,” is a promising sign that this film will also deliver laughs.
A Magical Experience
Growing up in sunny Florida, my friends and I were enchanted by the ocean and convinced that mermaids were real—making the original “Splash” a staple in our homes. With Tatum leading this new version, it promises to be a magical experience for kids and parents alike.
And if the kids don’t watch it on repeat, you can bet their moms will!
