Why?

Like a few folk have already said, you could just make a new female heist flick.

So Issa will probably take Jada Pinkett’s character. Lena Waithe for Queen Latifah’s character maybe? Keke Palmer for Vivica’s character and the chick from Beale Street for the single mother character.

It could work given the right script:manny:


Also let Blair Underwood come back as his original character. Dude still looks young and that was the last time he wasn’t playing a villian:lolbron:






He's gonna be recast with

She better not be starring. OG cast can never be replaced or topped. Imagine if they tried to remake Menace 2 Society.:camby:

If they're going to do it, they better not turn it into a comedy. They need to keep the tone of the original movie.

I think that's the easiest way for these remakes/reboots/revivals to fail. They try stripping the new version of the original version's spirit just to make it work for the current era. I don't know how the hell they're going to recreate the scene where Queen Latifah's character dies. That was the kind of rawness you don't see today.
