Fans have long awaited the return of the popular on-screen couple, Ben and Andie from the 2003 film, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. The film, starring Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson, was loved by fans despite not being critically acclaimed. Now, nearly 20 years later, talks of a sequel have resurfaced, keeping our fingers crossed.
The Possibility of a Sequel
Earlier, Kate Hudson, the lead actress from the film, raised fans' hope when she indicated that a sequel might be a possibility. Even though the original movie wasn't able to impress the critics, its box office collection suggested that fans adored Ben and Andie's chemistry. Should a sequel be considered, it could mark a resurgence of the rom-com genre.
Hudson's Take on the Sequel
Hudson, a multifaceted talent who is currently venturing into the music world, wistfully recalled her iconic movie role in a recent interview with Vanity Fair. While discussing a potential sequel, Hudson said it would heavily depend on the script. If it captures the essence and charm of the original movie, both she and McConaughey would consider revisiting their roles.
McConaughey's Transition from Rom-Coms
Matthew McConaughey, Hudson's co-star from the original movie, made a mark with rom-coms early in his career but shifted his focus to more serious roles over the years. From Dallas Buyers Club to True Detective and A Time to Kill, he shined in more sophisticated roles. However, Hudson believes a strong script could lure him back to his rom-com roots.
In a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Hudson mentioned that a good script is essential for any thoughts of a sequel. She said, “I think they're always thinking about that. All that matters would be the script and if Matthew and I would be into the script.”
Fan Anticipation for the Sequel
While fans eagerly wait for an affirmative announcement, they continue to cherish the original movie. It not only offers a dose of nostalgia but also highlights a time when rom-coms ruled the box office. Still available on Apple TV and Paramount+, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days remains a classic, loved by fans around the world.
Conclusion
If indeed a sequel to How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is in the works, it can bring back the charm of the rom-com genre and further enhance the already adored on-screen couple's legacy. However, as both Hudson and McConaughey emphasized, a compelling script would be a prerequisite. As we eagerly wait for any official announcement, we can continue to enjoy the original movie and the delightful chemistry between Ben and Andie.
