The movie is inspired by the 80’s movie Working Girl, starring Melanie Griffith.
Simpson told British magazine Empire, "It’s definitely the theme of Working Girl. This small-town girl moving to New York City and rising up into this great career as a businesswomen. But it’s definitely not a remake."
She added, "I’ve never had the leading role and with this one it’s really going to be nice to just dive in and kinda wrap my arms around it."
Blond Ambition is being directed by Scott Marshall (Pretty Woman, The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement). Filming dates have not been released.
