Top 11 Cross-Gendered Remakes

March 25, 2015

A few weeks ago, it was announced that an all-female reboot of Ghostbusters was going into production. The internet outcry was enormous, and it was decided to also go into production on an all-male Ghostbusters reboot as well, because women have been dominating the film industry for far too long. Here are eleven more planned reboots with the genders swapped, to show the other side of complicated gender politics

To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar – Three male impersonators drive across country to attend a competition in Hollywood, and are shocked not to experience discrimination in middle America

Charlie’s Angels – The movie that will dispel the rumor that guys can’t kick ass! Three male friends support one another and fight crime at the behest of a mysterious benefactor named “Charlie” (voiced by Kathleen Turner)
Steel Magnolias – The title is not symbolic, but literal, as a group of southern gentlemen must duel to the death using nothing but metallic floral arrangements

White Chicks – Queen Latifa and Jada Pinkett-Smith are two disgraced FBI agents who must go undercover as a pair of white heiresses
