  • The 2003 Nick Cannon film is identified as an already-completed all-Black remake.
  • A sequel would make Dempsey the father of a daughter trying to become popular.
  • An eight-episode television version would reverse the genders and become much darker.
  • A character learning the paid relationship’s secret could be murdered, leaving the popularity-seeker to cover it up.
  • Using the payment for drugs rather than a replacement outfit is another proposed variation.
  • Sam Levinson is imagined as an executive producer involved in the pilot rather than the writer.
  • Sarah Michelle Gellar is proposed as the mother alongside Dempsey as the father.
  • Gains is proposed as a schoolteacher, with the new story again set in Arizona.
