Hollywood continues freaking awesome gender-reversal trend with ‘Splash’ remake

dailydot.com/irl/splash-remake-mermaid-no-merman-channing-tatum/

The internet raised its collective hands in praise on Monday as news hit that a new remake of the classic 1984 film Splash would star Channing Tatum—as the mermaid.

What we do know about the Splash remake is that signing Channing Tatum to play the role originally occupied by 80s sex symbol Daryl Hannah (and comedian Jillian Bell in the original Tom Hanks role) continues a well-overdue trend of Hollywood gender role-reversals, following on the heels of the all-female Ghostbusters remake.

The casting isn’t the only aspect of the Splash remake that puts women in lead roles. Here’s how the film is bringing women to the forefront.

THREE DIFFERENT group texts informed me about this incredibly important news and that’s how i know i have the right friends

Why not make something origi-Oh wait.. HOLLYJEW

I'm pretty sure this has already been done. I'm certain I've seen something with a similar plot and a merman.

How is this important?
Are we going to genderswap every fucking thing that's already been made with male roles in mind?
Expect this trend to change after it sells like shit.

How do people suffer through this kind of shit? It's like they know it doesn't make any sense, and just makes for !!!BOUNDARIES BEING BROKEN!!! I imagine people bracing for liftoff, except that they're in a movie theater seat waiting for the movie to finally start rolling. When it does, it's like they're trying to break through an atmosphere of SHIT because that's what the movie inevitably is, yet they'll sit through it for their personal gain, thinking they're any more of an open minded person for going to see this

Welcome to Hillary's America.

>People annoyed over the fact that all they see is this shit

What am I supposed to be upset by here?

the first one was a chick flick any way

I can't wait to see this flop like ghostbusters

I don't really mind this one. If it was splash with a female mermaid and a female lead in a daring lesbian relationship that thwarted the patriarchy at every turn, I'd care.

But Channing Tatum is eye-candy and is good natured enough about himself to take deprecating roles, so he can be the mimbo here and it could work. If they try to not push a shitton of social justice shit into it beyond the gender swapped lead roles, it could be pretty good.

...not that I expect that they won't.

...

Who in the fuck would rather see a merman than a mermaid? Merman has never been popular.

>Who in the fuck would rather see a merman than a mermaid?
Lesbians, cucks, jews and numales

honestly i don't give a fuck

let woman have their porn disguised as a chick flick

WHO GIVES A SHIT

SPLASH FANS DON'T EXIST

Is this Aquaman's solo movie

Women.

Don't underestimate online media. They will scour the internet for anything resembling anger towards this movie and then they'll blow it out of proportion as a massive sexist backlash

So stop being angry...? It's such a non story.

>that’s how i know i have the right friends

>our opinons are all the same
>therefore these are the right people to be in my life

I don't see this making a lot of money. Anyone know the film's budget?

The idea sounds retarded.

>dat image
>dat forced elation
christ what a bunch of faggots

Why the fuck would anyone want a remake of splash? Is Hollywood really getting that desperate?

but Splash was awful

who the fuck is asking for a reboot?

NOT SPLASH
IS NOTHING SACRED?

Seems funny. I'd watch that.

Daryl Hannah could probably use a cameo paycheck

not even the original was funny

there's no way the reboot is going to be good

holy shit

You can genderswap one film. Which do you do?

James Bond


oh, the butthurt

theirs just something inherently hilarious about a man mermaid, let alone Channing Tatum as a merman

The Shawshank Redemption

And everything progressives find "problematic" about the original will still be in the remake - and worse - but it will all be okay because it is happening to a man and not a woman.

Further proof that the goal of Leftist progressives was never to achieve equality, but rather to reverse inequality.

Whatever. Hopefully, it will lose a hundred million or so like FemBusters and in a few years these studios that have become infected with cultural Marxists will all be bankrupt.

>America is already great
>(((Heltzel)))

can't make this up

I'm fine with this, changing Tatum will be the merman, so it's probably played for laughs instead of "girl powah"

9 to 5.

I kek'd

Go away, Sony.

LotR

this was my first thought as well - it's very zoolander

>Splash remake with a $1.5 million dollar budget makes $500+ million compared to 2016 Ghostbusters

There's exactly zero (0) people who give a fuck about Splash, barring Daryl Hannah.
Let me guess, it's sony making yet another shitty business decision?

I didn't see you bitching when it was only white males as the lead. How was that not biased? Grow up.

>remaking a rom com with some kind of feminist twist
What's their goal here, it already would target the exact same women and nu males that drink the feminist movie koolaid wouldn't it?

>gender swapped rehashes
Or
>end of western civilization
Beats me which to choose, senpai

END WHITEWASHING

MORE GENDER REVERSAL

MORE POC IN TRADITIONALLY WHITE ROLES

I think we'd be looking at a 5 digit worldwide gross

Billy Elliott

Didn't disney channel already make this movie...back in 1999?

Sony have already dictated Underworld is getting the gender switch, from Kate Beckinsale to the guy from Divergence as the main lead, I really wish I was joking.

Sisterhood of the travelling pants.

Scream
>main hero is a guy
>his father was a man whore
>the killers are the guys gf and female friend
>female deputy and the male news reporter

ignore is only option

Taxi driver

This is getting out of hand.

>Underworld is getting the gender switch

so they're making the girl the clueless idiot werewolf and the guy the smarter undead vampire?

Junior is the only true answer to this.

the people that report on the faux outrage are not above stirring the shit kettle just to create artificial controversy though its slowly starting to get through to some of em that not all controversy is good controversy

Deathproof

>Groundhog day

>Tom Hanks is the ground hog
>The Ground hog plays the role of tom hanks and repeats everyday of ground hog day

>Sony have already dictated Underworld is getting the gender switch

Who decided that was a profitable idea? Literally the only reason anyone watched Underworld was to see Beckinsale squeezed into black latex.

from what I can gather its probably going to be said guy as "evolved" vampire made by Selene and her hybrid daughter

personally I just think its funny what with it being Sony and all

They're making movies for women now. Men wanted to see Beckinsale. They're making a movie for women so they're making the lead eyecandy for women. Same as Splash

>Sony have already dictated Underworld is getting the gender switch

UPDATE: they changed their minds
slashfilm.com/underworld-5-release-date/

oh no not splash

jesus christ dude at least ghostbusters was good

personally im disappointed we never got more of Rhona Mitra in the underworld movies.

Amature bait. Very sad!

>classic

It's one of the worst of the Prime Time Tom Hanks Kinography. Anyway this gender swap sounds dumb enough that it might be funny. Both main actors are good at light comedy
I'll wait for the trailer

Queen Kong

Women can't be lonely

>All female American Pie

When?

>not wanting them to do this

You saw the crushing lost they already made with Ghostbusters, why wouldn't you want as many of these as possible, all they're doing is proving your point

what would it even be about?

>wow I've only had 900 dicks in me during highschool If I don't get to 1000 by graduation everyone will think I'm a loser

Why are you using Hillary's America twice?

kek

Whatever, Im not gonna see them and Im gonna stop posting here too because this place is the new tumblr, posting lefty web journalism.

what the fuck

Deliverance

That... actually sounds alright. I mean a little wonky given that Mermen aren't really much of a thing, but the situational comedy aspects of it work with reversed genders. I kind of hope the give Eugene Levy a role or cameo, and they keep the scene where Tom Hanks was complaining about how people find love every day and John Candy tells him that's bullshit.

what the fuck is Splash?

Well done user, well done...

Deliverance

Workaholics did an episode like that

Who would be in the climactic strap on rape scene?
