‘How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days’ Sequel in Development With Kate Hudson Producing More than two decades after the original rom com became a box-office hit, a sequel to “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” is officially in development at Paramount, with original star Kate Hudson attached as a producer. The 2003 film starred Hudson as Andie Anderson, a magazine writer who sets out to make a man dump her within 10 days, while Matthew McConaughey played advertising executive Benjamin Barry, who secretly bets that he can make her fall in love with him during the same period. The film became a major commercial success, earning about $177.5 million worldwide against a reported $50 million production budget.Hudson is attached to produce the sequel alongside producer Stacey Sher through Sher’s Shiny Penny Productions. However, the project is still in its early stages, and details of the storyline and creative team have yet to be finalised. It is also not yet confirmed whether Hudson will reprise her role as Andie in front of the camera. Paramount reportedly hopes to reunite Hudson with Matthew McConaughey, who played Benjamin in the original. However, McConaughey’s return has not been officially confirmed. The possibility of another reunion will likely generate excitement among fans, particularly because the chemistry between Hudson and McConaughey was one of the most praised aspects of the original film. The pair have previously expressed openness to working together again, including discussions about a potential sequel over the years. The original movie, directed by Donald Petrie, has remained popular more than 20 years after its release and has developed a strong following among fans of romantic comedies. The sequel now gives Paramount an opportunity to revisit the characters and formula that made the original a favourite, although the studio has yet to reveal whether the new story will continue Andie and Benjamin’s relationship or introduce a new romantic challenge. For now, the project remains in development, with Hudson confirmed as a producer and the potential return of the original stars still being worked
