This time as a miniseries instead of a movie. Bardem should crush it.

I'm assuming based on her casting the lawyer has been gender swapped?

Pretty much tells me everything I need to know to avoid it.

Why are we assuming that Amy Adams is playing the attorney and not the physically and mentally imposing criminal out for revenge?

She could bulk up, get a southern accent and tattoos.

That is going to change the dynamic and plot. I always thought the lawyer was trying to protect the female rape victim in the original trial and then his wife and daughter become potential victims. Will they even be on the Cape Fear River in the final act?

An article I read said both Amy and her husband will play attorneys.

Yes it changes the whole dynamic completely. Many stories the relationships, feelings, and motivations of the characters towards each other is heavily influenced by the genders of those involved.

There's for example the subplot of when Cady abuses the lawyers mistress.

They either don't consider this or don't care when they do these gender swaps.

And I don't even think these gender swaps are done out of politics anymore. I think they are mostly just laziness. They have to try to justify the projects existence. There's absolutely no reason the world needs or wants another Cape Fear movie. So it's just a lazy way to change something and pretend like it's not just a rehash.
