Deadline is reporting that actress Tamala Jones joined Taraji P. Henson in the Adam Shankman-directed, What Men Want, Paramount Player’s remake on Nancy Meyers 2000 rom-com What Women Want that starred Mel Gibson

The new version follows a female sports agent (Henson) 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.
Jones, who starred in eight seasons of ABC’s crime drama Castle, will play Henson’s friend Mari.
Produced by Will Packer and James Lopez, What Men Want will hit theaters on January 11, 2019.
