Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey have been asked to reunite for a sequel to How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, 21 years after their characters accidentally fell in love in a whirlwind of mind games and manipulation.

DailyMail.com can reveal an early script for the upcoming romantic comedy that is in the works. Hudson, 45, is reportedly trying to convince her mother Goldie Hawn to join in.

The highly anticipated sequel, currently titled How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days – Again, is set to follow Hudson’s Andie Anderson as she prepares to marry McConaughey’s Benjamin Barry while also dealing with her grapples with her broken relationship with her mother.

Hudson is calling on Hawn, 78, to join her, but the Hollywood veteran fears she will have a hard time playing a strained mother-daughter duo when the two are so close in real life.

“The only reason Goldie isn’t 100 percent ready to commit is because the two of them have a very strained relationship in the new film,” an insider told DailyMail.com. “In real life, Kate and Goldie are more like sisters than mother and daughter.”

“They all share their secrets and Goldie was even there for the birth of Kate’s three children.”

“Goldie is worried that she will have a really hard time playing a mother who is at odds with her daughter.”

“Kate is begging her to do it, but Goldie hasn’t quite committed to it yet,” they added.

The popular romantic comedy revolved around magazine writer Andie and advertising executive Benjamin, who fall in love despite the former trying to scare him off within ten days as part of an idea for a feature film. Unbeknownst to her, Benjamin had made a bet with co-workers claiming that he could make any woman fall in love with him in the same amount of time.

There are plans for a sequel to begin filming next year.

Christine Peters’ Marmont Lane Entertainment also returns as producer after helming the original adaptation.

In July, Hudson announced that she and McConaughey were “totally open” to reprising their roles for a sequel.

“I think they (studios) are always thinking about it,” she said during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live.

“All that matters would be the script and whether Matthew and I would be interested in the script.” I think we’re both completely open; it’s just never happened before.’

McConaughey, 54, previously claimed the film was perfect for a sequel, telling E!’s Daily Pop in 2020: “I mean, ‘How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days’ is, you know, for prepared a sequel.” You could easily make a sequel. And that was really good.

“As far as romantic comedies go, this was a really good one.”

The couple recently made a nod to the film, with McConaughey teaming up with his wife Camilla Alves to recreate the film’s poster.

Elsewhere, Hudson alluded to a scene in which her character made Ben miss the final shot at a Knicks game while watching Game 5 of the World Series with a friend in October.

In the popular romantic comedy, Ben desperately resisted the temptation to dump Andie even though she beat him for talking loudly in a movie theater, gave him a fern plant as an expression of her love, and bought him a Chinese crested dog.

But just as they begin to let their guard down, Andie finds out about Ben’s bet and the two have a famous exchange on stage while singing “You’re So Vain” by Carly Simon.

He later chases her across New York after reading her article about how she “lost the only man I ever fell in love with” before stopping her on the Manhattan Bridge and confessing his love for her.

The film also starred Kathryn Hahn and Annie Parisse as Andie’s friends Michelle and Jeannie, and Adam Goldberg and Thomas Lennon as Ben’s friends Tony and Thayer.

It’s unclear if they’ve signed on for the lead role.

The film grossed $177.5 million worldwide since its release in February 2003.

She recently launched a music career and released her debut album earlier this year.

McConaughey enjoyed roles in Magic Mike, The Wolf of Wall Street and Interstellar. He won an Oscar for Best Actor for his role as Ron Woodroof in “Dallas Buyers Club.”
