Veintitrés años después, preparan una secuela de “Cómo perder a un hombre en 10 días”

By CNN

Es posible que el helecho del amor esté volviendo a ponerse de moda.

Tras más de 20 años, se está preparando una secuela de la exitosa comedia romántica “Cómo perder a un hombre en 10 días”, con su protagonista original, Kate Hudson, vinculada al proyecto, informaron fuentes a CNN.

Hudson, quien protagonizó la película original en el papel de la columnista de revista Andie Anderson, producirá la secuela en Paramount junto con la productora de cine estadounidense Stacey Sher, cuyos créditos de producción incluyen películas galardonadas como “Pulp Fiction”, “Erin Brockovich” y “Django Unchained”, según confirmó a CNN una fuente cercana al proyecto.

Según la fuente, el estudio está buscando un guionista y, en esta etapa inicial del desarrollo, no hay otros colaboradores involucrados. Variety fue el primer medio en informar sobre la noticia.

Aún no está claro si Hudson o Matthew McConaughey, quien coprotagonizó la película junto a Hudson interpretando al exitoso publicista Benjamin Barry, retomarán sus papeles.

CNN se ha puesto en contacto con los representantes de Hudson y McConaughey para obtener comentarios.

Estrenada en 2003, “Cómo perder a un hombre en 10 días” narra la historia de Andie, una columnista de revista, que emprende un reportaje para demostrar que puede lograr que un hombre rompa con ella en 10 días.

Su experimento periodístico pronto da paso a una relación de tira y afloja con Benjamin, quien apuesta con su jefe a que puede enamorarla.

Según Variety, la película recaudó casi US$ 180 millones en todo el mundo en el momento de su estreno.

Y el vestido amarillo de seda de Carolina Herrera que lució Hudson durante la película se ha convertido desde entonces en un momento visual icónico del cine.

En los últimos años, Hudson y McConaughey habían respondido con modestia cuando se les preguntaba si se estaba preparando una secuela.

Durante una aparición en el programa “Watch What Happens Live” de Bravo en 2024, le preguntaron a Hudson si había pensado en retomar su papel con McConaughey, a lo que respondió: “Creo que (los estudios) siempre están pensando en eso”.

“Lo único que importa es el guion y si a Matthew y a mí nos gusta”, comentó Hudson. “Creo que ambos estamos totalmente abiertos a ello, simplemente nunca se ha dado la oportunidad”.

En junio, coincidiendo con la victoria de los New York Knicks en las Finales de la NBA contra los San Antonio Spurs, Hudson compartió en Instagram dos fotogramas de la película en los que aparecían Andie y Benjamin en un partido, junto con el mensaje “Déjà vu”.

Hace apenas unas semanas, McConaughey reveló que “Cómo perder a un hombre en 10 días” es su comedia romántica favorita en la que ha trabajado.

En una entrevista con Josh Horowitz en el podcast Happy Sad Confused a principios de este mes, el actor describió la película de 2003 como “un regalo que nunca deja de dar”, y afirmó que todavía genera “el mejor dinero en efectivo que he recibido por correo de todas las películas que he hecho”.

La noticia de la secuela llega apenas unos meses después del éxito de taquilla de “El diablo viste de Prada 2”, otra de las favoritas de los fans de principios de la década de 2000, que reunió al reparto original formado por Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci y Emily Blunt.

Otras secuelas de películas populares de la década de 2000 también han tenido un éxito colosal este año: la nueva “Scary Movie” recaudó más de US$ 231 millones en todo el mundo y “Toy Story 5” recaudó más de US$ 1.128 millones en todo el mundo, según el sitio web de seguimiento de datos de taquilla, The Numbers.

Este acontecimiento se produce mientras Paramount intenta fusionar sus operaciones de estudio cinematográfico y televisión con WBD, la empresa matriz de CNN, HBO, Discovery, el estudio Warner Bros. y muchos otros activos.

Trump needs to get tough on China to get tough on Iran’s economy. He’s been reluctant to do that

By CNN
(CNN) — The Trump administration appears to have landed on a fallback strategy in the Iran war after military strikes and negotiations failed to deliver victory: threats of harsh economic sanctions.Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has called them the “toughest sanctions in history,” which will “collapse this regime.” He’s even called it an “economic D-Day” for Iran, comparing it to the historic invasion of Nazi-occupied France during World War II.There’s just one problem: Making good on those tough words requires not just getting tough on Iran, but also getting tough on China, which is Tehran’s No. 1 trading partner.And Trump and his administration have proved quite reluctant to do that.When Bessent rolled out the economic strategy Monday, he didn’t name specific countries that would be punished — or lay out timelines — if they don’t cut ties. And the announcement notably did not include secondary sanctions on the large Chinese banks that facilitate Beijing’s purchases from Iran.China buys as much as 90% of Iran’s oil. Economic analysts have told CNN that targeting these banks and Chinese companies would be crucial to exacting a major toll on Iran’s economy.But not for the first time in recent days, Bessent punted on exactly what would be done on that front. He suggested messages were being sent — saying “no one is above the reach of US sanctions” — but didn’t detail what will happen with China.“If they facilitate transactions and are part of the ecosystem that turns Iranian oil into money, into repression, they will be targeted,” Bessent said. “We find that the best way to engage with countries is through quiet diplomacy.”He added: “So when the hammer of US Treasury actions falls upon them, they will have no one to blame but themselves.”But you could be forgiven for thinking this might be lots of sound and fury signifying relatively little.That’s because not only has the administration regularly backed off the threats it’s made in the Iran war, but it has a track record of treading gently around China, whose leader, Xi Jinping, is set to visit the White House next month.While Trump has made a big show about getting tough on China over the years, he backed off his trade war with Beijing in October, agreeing to a one-year truce. That followed shortly after Beijing upped its leverage by restricting access to critical rare-earth minerals and halting purchases of American soybeans.Trump last year also ignored federal law to help save the Chinese-owned video app TikTok, despite his first administration having labeled it a grave national security threat because of its ability to spy on Americans.Fast forward to Trump’s visit to China in May, and rather than pressing Xi publicly on a potential invasion of Taiwan, Trump made some major Taiwan-related rhetorical concessions.He also backed off his previous promises to get China to free Jimmy Lai, a former Hong Kong media tycoon who criticized the Chinese Community Party, as well as to ban Beijing from buying American farmland and to “aggressively” revoke Chinese student visas.By July, Trump delivered a primetime address in which he claimed China effectively interfered in the 2020 US election (which is not what the evidence actually showed). But rather than punish China for this seemingly major purported provocation, Trump downplayed the need for retaliation.The president seemed to prefer to use China to try to substantiate his still-baseless claims of stolen elections, without going to the trouble of holding the alleged thief accountable.And even in the context of the Iran war, Trump has been gentle with China.He has repeatedly shrugged off the idea that Beijing is helping Iran. And on his way back from China in May, he said he was considering lifting sanctions on Chinese companies that buy Iranian oil.Trump at the time was trying to secure a deal with Iran. But it’s telling that he’s been willing to telegraph potential carrots involving China, even as his administration is reluctant to publicly threaten to use the stick against it. In the latter case, it prefers “quiet diplomacy.”Also telling would seem to be Bessent’s comments Monday when CNN asked why the major secondary sanctions he previewed didn’t start immediately.“Well, we are giving everyone the opportunity to remedy bad behavior,” he said. “Why would I want to blow up the global financial system?”The administration appears well aware that getting tough on Iran would entail going after China — a risk that it might decide isn’t worth it.There’s an argument to be made that these topics are best addressed next month, during Xi’s state visit to Washington.But such pomp and circumstance can drain Trump of his resolve to get tough (as seen during his May visit to China) — and that’s if he even wants to get tough on China right now.The-CNN-Wire™ & © 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.
