The casting directors for the upcoming Paramount Pictures feature film “What Men Want” are accepting email submissions from talent interested in working on the project as fully paid extras and featured background performers. This new version of the 2000 Mel Gibson film “What Women Want” follows a female sports agent who has been constantly boxed out by her male colleagues. When she gains the power to hear men’s thoughts, she is able to shift the paradigm to her advantage as she races to sign the NBA’s next superstar.
“What Men Want” stars Academy Award nominee Taraji P. Henson in the lead role, along with two-time Primetime Emmy Award nominee Tracy Morgan, and Screen Actors Guild Awards winner Aldis Hodge. Two-time Primetime Emmy Award nominee Adam Shankman is directing “What Men Want” from a screenplay written by Golden Globe Award nominee Nancy Meyers. Taraji P. Henson is also executive producing with Adam Shankman.
