Screenwriter Sues Over 'What Men Want', Claims Paramount Stole His Idea

If you thought Taraji P. Henson's movie, "What Men Want," was a new take on "What Women Want," think again -- a screenwriter says it's really a rip-off of his script, and now he's suing Paramount.

Joe Carlini says he wrote a screenplay entitled, "What the F Is He Thinking?" back in 2015, and shopped it around Hollywood -- but Joe admits he struck out. No one bit.

In his lawsuit, Joe says he had meetings with reps for big time production companies, including Weinstein, Montage and Bloom. He even spoke to several actors about starring in his movie.
