10 Films Hollywood Could Remake With All Female Casts

10. Armageddon

The Original: Led by Bruce Willis, a group of square-jawed action heroes (well, Ben Affleck, Steve Buscemi, Owen Wilson, Will Patton and Michael Clarke Duncan) attempt to save the world by planting a nuclear bomb on an asteroid set to collide with Earth.

The Remake: Following a testosterone-fuelled Michael Bay movie, especially one where the token female character (Liv Tyler) got to stay home and cry a lot, is no easy job. Let’s give the Bruce role to Michelle Rodriguez, and fill out the supporting cast with Ronda Rousey, Zoe Bell, Rebecca Ferguson, Alexandra Daddario and Blake Lively. In a movie directed by Kathryn Bigelow.

Would It Work? It couldn’t be any worse than original. Bay’s film seemed to have been built around the comic shenanigans of Bruce’s motley crew, then as soon as they went into orbit, and faced one predictable crisis after another, all the fun drained away. Give the characters more to do, keep the running time down to 2 hours, and you’ve got a kick ass movie.
