The U.S. Supreme Court won't weigh in on a copyright fight over the Paramount Pictures movie 'What Men Want.' The decision brings to an end at least part of author and screenwriter Joe Carlini's multiyear fight with the Los Angeles-based studio over a script he co-authored and alleged the movie was based on. Carlini sued Paramount in 2019 in a California district court for copyright infringement and unfair competition, alleging his 2014 script 'What the F is He Thinking' was the basis of its 2019 romantic comedy featuring Taraji P.
