Recycled Plot for Selena Gomez Film is Not 'What Boys Want'
FirstShowing.net —
As a matter of fact, I'm not sure anyone who isn't a teen girl would want this, but apparently the demand is high enough as Variety reports New Line has picked up What Boys Want, a comedy pitch for Disney star Selena Gomez to headline written by Amy Andelson and Emily Meyer. The story is all too ...
Ready to know What Boys Want?
Total Film News —
New Line has nabbed comedy idea What Boys Want, and is trying to get Disney channel star Selena Gomez to take the lead. There are few details yet about the exact plot (it is, after all, still just a pitch right now), but it's revolves around a teenager who discovers that she can hear what men are thinking. Yes, it sounds suspiciously less like an original idea and more like a female spin on the basic idea that drove the 2000 Mel Gibson comedy What Women Want (below). The studio is hoping we'll all ignore that little detail and instead get wrapped up in the idea that one of the stars if Wizards Of Waverly ...

IF SELENA GOMEZ COULD HEAR MY THOUGHTS I'D BE IN JAIL
CHUD.com - A Movie Website and SO MUCH MORE. - Articles - News —
[image] The comedic hook of What Women Want was simple - men don't understand women, so Mel Gibson being able to read their minds meant he could figure out which ones were Jews. Er, rather that he could figure out how they think. But how men think? This is no mystery. And how men think around attractive 17 year old girls? Not only not a mystery, but completely inappropriate for younger audiences. Yet the premise of What Boys Want has tween sensation and budding hottie Selena Gomez getting the power to read men's minds. She will never stop screaming. The Disney Channel star is in negotiations right now; the film would shoot for New Line next year. via Variety ...
New Line Think They Know What Boys Want – They Don’t

... The unfortunate thing about this (in my view) is that most boys of that age are generally thinking about humping anything with a pulse, and with said girl in eye-shot I would imagine that their thoughts wouldn’t actually be anything she’d want to hear!
Kevin Misher has been signed on to produce the comedy which was written by Andelson and Meyer and 17-year-old Selena Gomez (The Wizards of Waverly Place) is in final negotiations. Joy!

Selena Gomez, Disney Channel employee/product.
According to Variety, Selena Gomez is set to star in “What Boys Want,” a comedy for New Line. Gomez is best known as a star on the Disney Channel show “The Wizard of Waverly Place.”
The Variety article describes how it all came together: “New Line’s decided to find out “What Boys Want,” snapping up the comedy pitch by Amy Andelson and Emily Meyer …”
Seriously, how long did this take? Is there any reason to believe the pitch consisted of anything more than “You know that movie with Mel Gibson, ‘What ...
Casting Notes: Selena Gomez in Teen Rom Com; The Social Network Gets New Kids; The Whistleblower Gets Proven Talent

... hiding in a closet for two hours may be unfounded, but you can see where the rumor might come from. I don’t know much about Selena Gomez, and you should consider that a good thing. I’m in my 30s with no kids, so the only reason for me to know much about a coiffed-up Disney Channel star is that I write stories like these. So I can’t offer much context about this one other than to say it doesn’t sound anything like material for a teen-skewed comedy. [Variety] ...

... and the kind of generic revelations that show up in any number of commercials. Harmless, right? Now take that situation and reverse it, and instead of Mel Gibson, have a pretty teenage girl capable of hearing men's thoughts. Yikes. But for some reason New Line thinks this is a perfectly appropriate setup for a teen comedy, setting Disney star Selena Gomez to star in What Boys Want , which in the title alone sounds like a horrible "barely legal" magazine you'd see at a truck stop. Variety write that Gomez's mother Mandy Teefey will produce, which ...

Hollywood is officially out of ideas. We are now recycling ideas from the year 2000. New Line has picked up the comedy pitch for WHAT BOYS WANT, a twist on the Mel Gibson flick WHAT WOMEN WANT, made for the teen set. New Line is currently in final negotiations with Disney star Selena Gomez to star in the film. Gomez’s character will be able to hear what boys think (“girls, Cheetos, Playstation, girls, girls, Doritos, X-Box” – look, I’ve already written my own version of the script!).
The pitch was presented by scribes Amy Andelson and Emily Meyer, who previously wrote the upcoming STEP UP 3D and the in-development NAOMI AND ELY’S NO KISS LIST (if ...
