Taraji P. Henson Will Star in a Remake of Mel Gibson’s ‘What Women Want’

Date:

The 2000 movie, What Women Want, centered around Mel Gibson as an advertising executive who is suddenly granted the ability read women’s minds and then uses that to sell them things and seduce them. And then in the process, he finds out that women are people who should be respected!

Now a new movie inspired by the same premise is on the way to theaters with the genders flipped. According to Deadline, the forthcoming What Men Want will star Taraji P. Henson who plays “a female sports agent who has been constantly boxed out by her male colleagues.” She then uses her ability to hear men’s thoughts to her advantage at work.

This sounds great because What Women Want centers on Gibson goofily being unable to figure out women, which made it seem like playing into the stereotype of “what she says is different than what she means”. The premise of What Men Want seems far more relevant, especially today.
