Witherspoon is rejected without hesitation.

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.
