If it is like "Barb Wire" it may be amusing. If it is all bull dykes then no.

Can they get some legendary women action stars in it? If it has Sigourney and Linda Hamilton, that would get my attention. Maybe Michelle Rodriguez or Charleze too.

Sigourney and Linda Hamilton are 76 and 69, respectively.

Michelle Rodriguez, while still under 50, is possibly the single most unlikeable actress in the business

Charlize could possibly pull it off, i guess. but then again, what is "it"? an action movie starring women twenty, thirty (fifty?) years past their prime? who wants to see that?

the story of an aging male hero or anti-hero summoning the strength or courage for "one last ride" has an inherent appeal to male audiences, becasue we identify with that (especially those of us in middle age). we all feel our youthful strength and vigor slowly fading away as we age, so movies like Unforgiven or the 2008 Rambo movie resonate with us on like a deep, existential level.

that reality doesnt exist for women. aging women dont have thoughts or dreams of suddenly being thrown into a situation where they have to summon their strength to be the action hero and save the day again (at least not in any large numbers).

but Hollywood's eternal quest to make men and women exactly the same will never cease.

Women just have to copy men in everything, they are so lame

When was the last time an all-male spinoff of an original all-female movie was made?

Never?

i mean specifically her screen presence. Rachel Zegler is annoying AF in real life, but her face and general persona in movies doesnt repulse me like Michelle Rodriguez.

but no i didnt see Snow White lol

They wont do ii but if they made it a campy action film with hot chicks showing lots of skin it could be fun. What they will do is try to make a half arse serious film about Mary Sue’s being unbelievable bad asses and it’ll suck arse.

And they said my "Penis Monologues" idea was stupid and derivative.

The film is set in the late 1990s during the height of Y2K-era tension and geopolitical uncertainty.


Ah yes, the geopolitical tribulations of the... late...90s.

It’s clearly going to be a cautionary tale about women over 40 trying to date.
