NEW GIRL Star Max Greenfield Joins Taraji P. Henson for Paramount's WHAT MEN WANT

According to Variety, NEW GIRL star Max Greenfield has signed on to join Taraji P. Henson in Paramount Players' "What Men Want." Tracy Morgan is also on board to join the cast.

The original movie starred Mel Gibson as a marketing exec who suddenly has the ability to hear what women are thinking after a freak accident. In the remake, the roles are reversed, with Henson playing a sports agent 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.

Greenfield will play one of the arrogant sports agents at the agency where Henson's character works.

"What Men Want" has already been set to open on Jan. 11, 2019. It's being spearheaded by Brian Robbins and Ali Bell under the newly formed division at Paramount, which launched in June.

Max Greenfield has played recurring roles in Veronica Mars and Ugly Betty, and co-starred in the WB series Modern Men. He co-stars as Schmidt in the FOX sitcom New Girl, for which he received Emmy, Critics' Choice Television, and GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS nominations, and THE VOICE of Roger in the Ice Age franchise.
