Actress and singer Selena Gomez is reportedly working on a remake of the 1988 film Working Girl. The comedy classic starred Melanie Griffith, Harrison Ford, Sigourney Weaver, Alec Baldwin, and Joan Cusack.
Selena is in talks to produce the series that will air on Hulu. In the original movie, Tess McGill, played by Melanie, was a secretary who wanted to get back at her boss. While the boss was away from the office recovering from a broken leg, Tess pretended to be her and of course, hilarity ensued.
