Jessica Simpson is going to star in a remake of the 1988 Mike Nichols romantic comedy Working Girl.
Andy Dick let the news slip while doing press for Employee of the Month.
"I'm going to be doing Jessica Simpson's next movie. She's doing a remake of Working Girl," Dick revealed. "So I'm co-starring in that with her along with Luke Wilson."
This will be Dick's fourth film with Wilson. According to Dick, he was cast after Jessica Simpson's manager saw his funny performance in Employee of the Month.
The original Working Girl starred Melanie Griffith as Tess McGill, a hard working young woman who is determined to reach the top of the stockmarket world but is stuck in secretarial work. When her boss Katherine Parker (Sigourney Weaver) breaks her leg, Tess gets her chance to push ahead with her career. All the while she falls in love with Jack Trainer (Harrison Ford), who she later discovers is Katherine's boyfriend. The movie also starred Alec Baldwin, Joan Cusack, Oliver Platt, Olympia Dukakis and Kevin Spacey.
I'm not quite sure what role Dick would play, but one must assume that Luke Wilson would take Harrison Ford's role.
Working Girl made $63.7 million domestically, the eleventh biggest film of 1988. The movie later spun-off into a short lived (12 episodes) 1990 television series of the same name starring Sandra Bullock.
