    John Mulaney's joke about this exact thing has never been more relevant.

    I guess we'll have to prepare ourselves for the all-female Bloodsport sometime soon. Sigh.

    what's the big deal, Oceans Eleven is a fun little franchise where the characters being all male had nothing to do with the story.

    Sounds like it should be a direct to dvd type of movie

    I can see that. It's just that these guys were charismatic and cool as ***. This all female cast of the same movie is just another Bridesmaid. Which is a cool comedy in itself. I'll wait for the trailer.

    I just rewatched New in Town yesterday, is it in that or the other special? This kid is beyond funny. "Or when, someone, eats too much chocolate cake?"

    Welcome to Hollywood. See Avengers, Justice League for more examples where ideas are rehashed.

    Soon they'll do remakes of cartoon superheroes.

    The Powerpuff Boys!
    Teenage Mutant Ninja Girl Turtles!
    Jen Ten!

    I was surprised they never introduced girl Turtle characters, especially considering how much '80s and '90s cartoon casts were changed to maximize toy releases.

    So what's the beef with this exactly? That they're pandering to feminists or that they're potentially bastardizing a classic flick? Cast 11 white dudes in a movie and no one sees this as "Good Ole Boy Garbage".

    As long as there's an inflatable pool full of baby oil, I'm in.

    1. Missed opportunity to make something original that actually calls for and fits with an all female cast

    2. The current tactic for marketing these turds is to pull all honest criticism and highlight sexist trolling for extra marketing. Sony did this on the Ghostbusters trailer.

    This could work but will probably be forced like the Ghostbusters female version. I don't expect either to do that well tho
