u guys i literally want a female remake of every movie ever, every single film that men hold dear, every single fucking motion picture that men nut over, i want it to be remade and be female lead. die hard starring angelina jolie, fight club starring kristen stewart and saiorse ronan, pulp fiction starring jodie foster and viola davis, the godfather with meryl streep, dirty harry starring cate blanchett, american psycho starring margot robbie, training day with laverne cox and alicia vikander, james bond with gillian anderson, i want them all!!!!!!
I did a callout on Twitter for 1980′s sacred cow movies to reboot with an all-female cast, and got the following suggestions:
Top Gun
The Goonies (and leave out the fat shaming at the same time)
Rambo
Raiders of the Lost Ark
The Lost Boys
Dirty Dancing (I did a double take at this one but actually an all female version of this movie would be AMAZING)
Akira (only excuse for a live action remake)
Buckaroo Bonzai
Porky’s
Animal House
Revenge of the Nerds (but it’s about women trying to break into the CompSci department in the face of angry dudebros )
Back to the Future with an aged-up Emma Thompson as Doc and a take-no-shit Hispanic teenage girl as Marta. (thank you, Tania!)
Real Genius
No one said Stand By Me, though. I think we will only truly have reached equality when they remake Stand By Me with an all female cast and no one even complains about it.
OMG THE BLUES BROTHERS *mic drop*
My favourite of the suggestions you got was Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan. SIGOURNEY WEAVER AS KIRK, CONFRONTING MIDDLE AGE AND OBSOLESCENCE.
I can’t believe I left that one off the list, it didn’t come up when I checked my tweets.
Kirk - Sigourney Weaver
Spock - Viola Davis
Khan - Salma Hayek
Bones - Emma Thompson
Scotty - Michelle Gomez
Carol Marcus - Helen Mirren
David Marcus - Chris Hemsworth
In that case, Saavik can be a boy too…
Okay, yes, to all of this, but PLEASE ALSO CONSIDER:
- An all-female version of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off with Amandla Stenberg as Ferris, Chloe Grace Moretz as Sloane and Hailee Steinfeld as Cameron;
- A queered-up Labyrinth with Tilda Swinton as the Goblin Queen seducing Bex Taylor-Klaus as Sarah;
- Katee Sackhoff as Indiana Jones.
THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT.
