Seems they are making Oceans Eight with a female cast including Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchet,
Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter , Rianna, etc. Along lines of the original Clooney movies.

Also a remake of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels with Rebel Wilson coming.

Not seen it but apparently the remake of Ghostbusters with a female cast has lost 70 million.

Saw an article which suggested hard to do a female remake of an iconic movie and following Oceans or Ghostbusters certainly a hard job.

Whilst as far as female actors go the cast looks good is it enough to generate enough interest to cover costs ? Do guys avoid these kinds of movies and would it work if it was an original concept.
 
Oh, for crying out loud!

All-female lead remakes of movies are about as smart an idea as the WNBA, and get about the same ratings or box office receipts.

Prost!
