At the Movies: Jessica Simpson's Working Girl Redo

Per the Hollywood Reporter, Vanished's Penelope Ann Miller will play Jessica Simpson's conniving boss in Blonde Ambition, a loose remake of 1988's Working Girl.... Chris Klein, Jake Busey and Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst will star in Play Dead, a dark comedy about a former TV action hero (Klein) forced to swing into real-life action when he uncovers a small-town meth biz.... Emily Mortimer has replaced an injured Samantha Morton in Transsiberian, a thriller starring Woody Harrelson and Ben Kingsley.

A Working Girl remake with Penelope Ann Miller and Jessica Simpson?

I don't care how "loose" it is -- that sounds weak.

And yet it's a cinch to win the Oscar for Least Amount of Overall Screen Presence.

I would pay to see the acceptance speech for that one.

NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO "Working Girl" is ONE of my favorite movies. Leave it alone......Please??

AND on the subject of Ms. Simpson, I just read that she wants her 2nd try (a.k.a. DO OVER) of her song (?) for Dolly Parton, REMOVED from the show before it airs. What the hey???

They are already remaking Working Girl? Okay, it's been 18 years, but that is not enough time for me to want to see Jessica Simpson do this movie.
