Luke and Jessica Star in Blonde Ambition

A few weeks back Jessica Simpson was talking about doing a movie called Blonde Ambition with Luke Wilson. But a rep for Wilson said that the project was still in the works and a source close to the actor said “Luke Wilson will never do a movie with Jessica Simpson.” But now it seems he has changed his mind. MTV reports that Luke has joined the cast of the film, which is a remake of Working Girl and originally starred Harrison Ford and Melanie Griffith. Here's more:

Luke Wilson has joined Jessica Simpson as part of the cast of "Blonde Ambition," a loose remake of the 1988 Melanie Griffith classic "Working Girl." "It's going to be Jessica Simpson's next film," said producer (and former "Malcolm in the Middle" star) Justin Berfield. "It's basically about a young woman's journey into the corporate empire. She starts at the bottom and works her way to the top." The flick will offer the singer/actress her first leading role, as she steps into a character that landed Griffith an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. "The second we got the script, we just knew we had to go to her first, and fortunately she fell in love with the script as well," Berfield remembered. Andy Dick is in discussions to play an "evil" secretary. "Blonde Ambition" begins filming November 27 in Shreveport, Louisiana, and is aiming for a summer release.

I guess that's why they say never say never. I wonder what made Luke change his mind. It couldn't have these pics. Cheer up Jess, you've finally got yourself a lead role! What's next? An Oscar nom like Melanie? For more of Jess looking grumpy and tired just read more

    she has been looking rough for a while now...I think she is going for the sympathy vote as he album is tanking or she just does not have a mirror in her house.

    Hahhahahahah LUKE! Didn't he say he would NEVER do a movie with her, and when she said she was doing this movie on Letterman, everyone bashed her! Go Jess! You look like absolute sh*t, but at least you can prove them right!

    YES! I can't WAIT for this movie!!!
    Too bad I used to like Luke Wilson, and with Andy Dick-- this will surely be worth an Oscar nod. Seriously, WTF?

    Why do people even both to hire her for stuff? Everything she does FLOPS!

    All her movies were failures and her albums are no better!

    Let the movie be remade. But, why on earth would you put Jessica Simpson in the movie. I guess hollywood is running out of ideas . I think she find a new job outside of hollywood. The more I look at her I realize why did I ever like her in the 1st place.Everyone has those scrubby days but, I mean every pic I have seen of her lately it looks like she just rolled out of bed and is ready to go work the streets looking for food or something.. ( wake me up when she is gone)

    in the two clips I have seen her "acting", it has been tragic. She is NOT an actress.

    I can't believe they are casting Jessica for the Working Girl part. The character in the movie is SMART, and that's how she went from secretary to executive and snatched the company's president from her boss (Sigourney Weaver in the original).

    Jessica can never be convincing as a smart person, even in fiction...

    Luke Wilson is cute but he lacks the sex appeal that Harrison Ford has (especially back in the 80's).

    I HATE THE FOOLS WHO

    1. Decided to remake a fantastic film like Working Girl
    2. Decided to cast Jessica as Tess
    3. Decided to cast Luke as Jack Trainer
    4. Hire Andy Dick as anything
    5. Buy a ticket to see this pig slop

    WTF is wrong with these studios and any teenie bopper dumb ass that would waste $7.50 to $8.00 to watch these losers make fools out of themselves on the big screen when for that same dollar amount they can buy the far superior original!!!

    It is the end of the f*cking world!!!

    I agree Ima. The answere to all this craziness is: Papa Joe. I think he's the producer. How else would Jessica's dreams come true? I just want to know how they got Luke to change his mind? I know I will never see this movie. I would never spend my money on anything Pimpson related.

    Oh, he is a producer. As long as he is around to hire his "baby" Barf! , she will continue to "act" in sh*tty movies.

    blech.. I was going to say it was a clear case of casting couch hire, but if Papa Joe is the producer maybe not.. maybe.

    Why would he want to do a movie with her? I don't see any potential there.
