>Fox has given a script commitment plus penalty to The Nice Girls, a contemporary female take on the Joel Silver-produced 2016 feature film The Nice Guys, which starred Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe and was co-written and directed by Silver’s frequent collaborator Shane Black. >Set against the backdrop of 1977 Los Angeles, The Nice Guys revolved around two very different PIs (Gosling, Crowe) who are forced to team up on a case. The movie was very well received by critics and grossed $60 million at the boxoffice.
>reboot of a 2016 film >a contemporary female take
Adam Smith
could be good. dont know why you are immediately opposed to anything that has a woman lead in it. as long as they dont put someone like amy schumer in that lead. im trying to think which two women would have good chemistry, maybe margot robbie and felicity jones?
Angel Gonzalez
How old the original source material is has no impact on its reboot status
Nathaniel Cook
Explain how there could even possibly be a "female" nice guys. ITS A CAST WITH TWO MEN AND TWO WOMEN with an extremely specific plotline
Hudson Jackson
they will just write another plotline and this time two women will be the leads. theyre not going to remake the entire nice guys.
Kayden Torres
>two female investigators solve crimes
not that hard, user
Luke Davis
Hollywood is so completely lazy.
Nathan Jackson
boy hollywood is really scraping the bottom of the barrel. just let shane write it and might be good
Dominic Watson
because its insulting to storytelling as a whole >HURR BUT WHAT IF THEY WERE GIRLS
Ethan Martinez
I didn't watch the original, I have even less will to watch the reboot.
Jonathan Sullivan
You'll get Katherine Heigl and like it
Kevin Robinson
How fucking awful. The movie was great, this is going to be shit due to the same reasons why Grllbusters was.
Isaiah Rodriguez
So I guess my favorite movie from last year isn't getting a sequel...
Jose Campbell
A woman lead is perfectly fine, but this reeks of typical lazy Hollywood writing. "Let's resell the same thing, but barely tweak it like this". They're just using the push for better female roles movement to get some easy cash.
Look at James Cameron on how to do a good female lead movie.
Joshua Brown
your loss. originally was pretty funny
Daniel Johnson
I hate to say it, but the only active director left with a tease of original creativity is Woody Allen.
David Scott
>2 female PIs in the 70s in a comedy series
I'm ok with this if they are hot
Isaac Evans
>series >one movie
Thomas Hernandez
Why in the christ would you take it out of the 70s?
>Why in the christ would you take it out of the 70s?
Oh, nevermind. I was getting excited for some Charlie's Angels fun...
Benjamin Wood
This doesn't sound very interesting to me at all and I liked the movie. Why does it have to be a series?
Hunter Murphy
as long as its staring goslings daughter.
James Cook
Literally why? What's the purpose?
Austin Evans
could be good if they can capture the feel of the movie, and have a cameo from some of the characters.
Leo Parker
>Not in the 70's >no shane black
Oh, so it's just "female buddy cop show"? NICE FOX. REALLY FUCKING NICE.
Brody Rogers
>Why does it have to be a series?
Because no one wants to produce this shit as a movie
Robert Mitchell
Oh wow The Nice Girls featuring Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy. Pass. Kill yourselves, Hollywood.
Anthony Gonzalez
>dont know why you are immediately opposed to anything that has a woman lead Because it's supposed to be a comedy and women can't do comedy at all.
Lincoln Torres
i think the idea was, the movie was good, it would work as a series but gostling and crowe are too big for tv so they had to recast/make new characters, so for some weird reason they figured why not make them female, hopefully they manage to find the mythical non existent funny actresses, otherwise.
Jaxon Hernandez
Because it's barely even a female version. It's not set in the 70's, it doesn't have Shane Black, it's just lazy usage of a brand. This could be any other cop show featuring women, there's no need to make it a reboot of something else if you're going to strip it's basic components so much.
It hurts even more when you realize we're not getting a sequel now and this shit is in it's place.
Nathan Allen
This makes literally no sense. The Nice Guys isn't a franchise. Unless they literally remake the film with women, I can't see the relation. And as someone mentioned earlier, the plot of the film is pretty heavily interwoven with them both being guys (and in the 70s).
Why not just make a female buddy cop film?
Tyler Turner
Fuck you, I just wanted Nice Guys II
Austin Diaz
>women are better than men! >we are gonna show them by copying their success!
When do we get Mean Boys?
Carter Gutierrez
Why can't the just make, I don't know, an original movie staring 2 women?
Why do they need to make it a ~reboot? I know Hollywood is full of lazy hacks, but this is getting ridiculous.
Cooper Howard
>Women can be just as good as men! >Let's prove it by doing exactly what men did, but with women. And here I thought a Nice Guys 2 was unlikely to happen. Be careful what you wish for.
Christopher Long
>When do we get Mean Boys? You mean In the Company of Men?
Daniel Gray
This actually does get me wondering because The Nice Guys heavily relies on how flawed their characters are. One is a drunk violent fuckup and the other is a weasely idiot fuckup. This isn't something you easily spin into girlpower territory
Jackson Bell
They're both be successful CEOs that want to be vigilantes
Blake Ross
They should've just made the drunk violent fuckup a woman and kept the weasely idiot fuckup a guy. Cliched but at least there's SOME easy jokes to be made.
Juan Wilson
Sure it is Except those traits won't be flaws, but virtues of how empowered and independent they are memes aside, they'll slightly downplay them for comedy but both characters will be likeable. The aggressive one will probably be very promiscuous as well and there will be a scene where she helps the meek one come out of her shell
Jordan Clark
Good point, but for whatever reason audiences find it really cool when women characters are heavy drinkers who fuck things up. Take Jessica Jones for example. Drinks shit booze constantly, fucks up every case she gets her hands on, gets innocents killed, and her solution to the overarching case is to murder the suspect. Still, everyone thinks she's a badass tough woman
Alexander Jones
Women can't be nice so I don't see how this would work.
Asher Wilson
these days only women and brown people are considered consumers worth advertising to. Because they like shiny things & gossip
Andrew Adams
If Shane writes it, sure. Otherwise fuck off.
Dylan Lee
What about the teen gangs which would rape them on an every corner?
Owen Rogers
The movie was nice. This will be shit.
Ryan Lopez
>series wat
Joshua Cruz
way to ruin something that had so much potential and i was sooo anticipating a sequal with crow and goose
Josiah Scott
its gonna flop
when are they gonna get the message WW performed well because of the name itself
