‘Our love fern!’: How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days is getting a reboot
Hold on to your hats, ladies and gentlemen, because yet another nostalgic movie from the early noughties is coming back with a bang.
The 2003 romantic comedy How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days is returning to our screens in the form of a reboot, and we are LEAPING for joy.
The flick starred Kate Hudson as a magazine journalist tasked with driving a man away, and Matthew McConaughey as an advertising executive who must make a woman fall in love with him respectively.
Writer Guy Branum, who previously worked on The Mindy Project, confirmed he was working on the project as a TV series for new streaming service Quibi.
Branum wrote to his followers on Twitter about the momentous task;
"We were all certain you could not make a good romantic comedy anymore because print media is dead and com-com ladies have to work at magazines (we feel seen).
"…but against the tides of history, Quibi & Paramount have agreed to let me re-write How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days."

He added; "I will be observing and consulting numerous photos of shirtless Matthew McConaughey to properly research this task."
This was the handsome actor's pre-'McConaissance' days, remember?
The show will centre on a “glib young online columnist and an oversexed advertising executive who both need to prove, once and for all, they’re capable of being monogamous.
"They soon discover, however, keeping a relationship is harder than Andie Anderson made it look.” GASP. Inject this glorious 2000s content into our veins, we dare you.
We're gagging to see Branum breathe new life into the iconic rom-com, which cemented Hudson and McConoughey's status as the genre's king and queen.
Plus that yellow dress, how could we forget it? The giant gem on her neck also still slaps.
