Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson’sThe Hustleis the latest all - distaff reboot of a male - orient movie , sexuality - swap the classic Michael Caine / Steve Martin comedyDirty Rotten Scoundrels . With the success of movies likeWonder WomanandCaptain Marvel , it wo n’t be long before women can just lead their own movies without being splice to early dimension star men . But until then , while actress gain the kind of influence in Hollywood that they ’re long overdue , more distaff reboots of older film starring human race will be on the fashion . So , with that in mind , here are 10 Movies That Need A Female Reboot .
The Usual Suspects
It ’s rarified that women get to play gangsters in motion picture . The crime musical genre is one of the most male - dominate classification in Hollywood . But there are female criminals out there and they ’re underrepresented on the big screen . The assumption ofThe common Suspectsis that a cluster of criminal meet in a police force card , pull off a holdup , and then have their storytwisted by an unreliable narratorreading gens and locations from around the elbow room . That could easily be swapped to an all - female cast , with the constabulary card simply orb around a female suspect instead of a male one . It would make a great ensemble spell , too , likeOcean ’s 8 , a chance to get a caboodle of amazing women on - screen together .
Boyhood
Richard Linklater shot his coming - of - age opusBoyhoodover a tenner or so , to capture his leading actor grow up . It ’s a grand , wholesale moving picture about turn up – but it ’s about growing up male person . Only male child can have-to doe with to Mason ’s story . A female remake titledGirlhoodcould give untried female child a fibre they can relate to . It would intend another kid player uprise up with a moving picture crew stopping by every couple of years to shoot some more scenes of the movie she ’s in , but asBoyhoodhas shown us , the payoff of this unequaled sort of filmmaking are obvious .
Raiders of the Lost Ark
As long as theTomb Raidermovies continue to screw up the female edition of Indiana Jones that we already have , a distaff reboot of theIndiana Jonesfranchise sounds like a good thought . Steven Spielberg seemed opened to aRaidersreboot with a distaff Indiana Jones , even if his wording was a piddling clunky : “ We ’d have to change the name from Jones to Joan , and there would be nothing incorrect with that . ”
Jones is the last name , so it would be unearthly to pull up stakes a female version of the character with a virile first name and a female first name instead of a cognomen . Still , Spielberg ’s subject to a female Indy , so it could happen .
Fight Club
As possibly the most masculine , male - focused motion picture ever made , nothing is screaming out for a female reboot loud thanFight Club . Melissa McCarthy suggested “ femaleFight Club ” as a bridal exhibitioner as a trick inBridesmaids , but it ’s not a big thought . With Netflix’sGLOW , Charlize Theron ’s visceral action movies , andmore and more female superheroes making it to the screen , audiences are getting used to women fighting on - screen . The femaleFight Clubwouldn’t play along exactly the same secret plan , since everyone make love the wrench by now , but it could have the same nihilist content and black - risible quality . “ I am Jane ’s dreaming of a distaff reboot ofFight Club . ”
Trading Places
Trading Placesis a definitive clowning , but it ’s also an interesting study of the class watershed . Dan Aykroyd plays a wealthy businessman and Eddie Murphy plays a streetwise grifter . They both think they ’d be good off in the other one ’s shoes , so like it says on the Sn , they trade lieu . In the same way thatDirty Rotten Scoundrelswas a two - hander whose manly leads were replaced by women inThe Hustle , Trading Placesis a two - hander that would work just as well – if not serious , with an even more socially witting plot revolve around women in the workplace – with female steer or else of virile one .
The Expendables
The item ofThe Expendablesfranchise was to bring all the honest-to-goodness - school , muscle - tie up action moving-picture show stars from the ‘ 80s together in one movie . So , why not do the same for all the female action movie stars?The Expendablesfranchisehas a outstanding cast , but they ’re all male . The third one brought in Ronda Rousey , but that was too footling too belatedly . An all - femaleExpendablesmovie calledThe ExpendaBelles(seriously ) has really been in the kit and boodle for a few years , butit ’s metre it actually have off the background . Sigourney Weaver , Linda Hamilton , Charlize Theron , Michelle Rodriguez , Uma Thurman , Zoe Saldana , Demi Moore – the casting possibility are eternal .
Taken
We ’ve see what happen when a manful passe - CIA agent ’s daughter goes lack overseas and he flies over there to cross her down . Now , let ’s see what happens when the same circumstances befall a distaff passee - CIA federal agent or else . To keep the gender - swapping consistent , the girl could even be swap for a son to vitiate the figure of the damsel in distress .
It would n’t need to be a square remake ofTaken . rather of Paris , it could be a different major European city – or a dissimilar continent entirely . Instead of being sexual urge - trafficked , the kid could be sell off as a drug scuff .
This is the End
Apart froma distich of cameos by Rihanna and Emma Watson(the latter of whom reappeared for one aspect after on before flee with all the food ) , the star - studded Revelation comedyThis is the Endwas very male - oriented . The 2013 original starred Seth Rogen , Jonah Hill , Craig Robinson , and everyone else for their clowning clique asthe worst versions of themselves . Let ’s see theBridesmaidsgang play themselves and tackle the same apocalypse from the other side of Los Angeles from a distaff perspective : Kristen Wiig , Melissa McCarthy , Rose Byrne , Maya Rudolph , Ellie Kemper etc . , all playing themselves . It would make a pretty awesome movie .
Training Day
The Heatproved that women could lead a crony fuzz movie , so there ’s no reason why they could n’t lead a grittier , more dramatic fuzz movie . breeding Daywould be a quality nominee for this , as its assumption is simple and character reference - force back , and therefore easy to rewrite for a female mold . Itstars Denzel Washington as a veteran copwho takes rookie Ethan Hawke out on his first Clarence Shepard Day Jr. . As the day progresses , Hawke realizes Washington is foul and strain to divulge him . Washington cash in one’s chips on to win an Academy Award for his performance in the movie . A distaff reboot ofTraining Daycould decorate the cover with a new iconic duo with fantastic chemistry .
The Avengers
We got a taste of what an all - femaleAvengersmovie might look like in one scene inEndgame , and it was awesome . Captain Marvel , Valkyrie , Shuri , the Wasp , Gamora , Nebula , Mantis , andevery other badass female superhero from the MCUfighting alongside each other was such an unbelievable sight that it warranted more – likea whole movie of it . Brie Larson has already saidshe’d be open to an all - femaleAvengersmovie , and she just turn out that a female - head MCU film can be a huge box office overhead withher $ 1 billion - gross solo movie , so there ’s no reason not to do this .
