Selena Gomez May Be Involved in a New Reboot of a Beloved 80s Classic Film
Selena Gomez is a hard-Working girl. After Hulu greenlighting Only Murders in the Building for a third season, the actress may have another project on the horizon.
On August 2, Deadline announced that 20th Century Studios is looking to reboot an iconic rom com of the 1980s: Working Girl. The Mike Nichols 1988 film that starred Melanie Griffith, Harrison Ford, Sigourney Weaver, and Joan Cusack became a smash hit at the box office, rallying more than $100 million and garnering 6 Oscar nominations. The premise “involves Tess, an ambitious secretary (Griffith) who takes on her boss’ identity while the latter is laid up with a broken leg.”

According to Variety, “Gomez is in final negotiations to produce a reboot of [Working Girl].” She will make a great addition to bringing this popular film back to life.

The actors scored a whopping 17 Emmy nominations, including Best Comedy Series. In addition to her successful work at Hulu, she also acts and produces her HBO Max series, Selena + Chef.
