Reboots, re-imaginings, and reboot-quels have been a driving force in Hollywood for a long time. And now with Ocean’s 8 on its way, we figured it was the perfect time to look once again at the many projects that are not just retooling a popular film, show or franchise, but are also rethinking them with female leads replacing the traditional male ones.
In addition to Ocean’s 8, which stars Sandra Bullock in a new spin on the Ocean’s series, there’s also talk of Shane Black’s The Nice Guys, which starred Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe, being turned into a TV show with female leads, and famed ’70s series Kung-Fu, featuring David Carradine, getting a sequel show with a central female character.
