Screenwriter Gina Wendkos, the scribe responsible for movies such as "Coyote Ugly," "The Princess Diaries," and "The Perfect Man" will pen "Big Man on Campus" for Columbia Pictures. Ms. Wendkos told Variety: "This is a comedy that takes place in a high school where beauty and brains duke it out, and what happens when the perception of popular changes and the power structure crumbles" — which sounds a whole lot like "Mean Girls," but hey, that was a whole 14 months ago!
The busy screenwriter is also preparing "It Should Happen to You" as a vehicle for Kate Hudson.
