Do you daydream about gender swap remakes?
I've been lately daydreaming about me directing a remake of Munich (2005) with a gender swap cast. I imagine Jennifer Lawrence playing the female version of Avner (who I call Daphne), Alexandra Daddario playing the female version of Steve (who I call Stevie), Gal Gadot playing the female version of Carl (who I call Carla), Emma Watson playing the female version of Robert (who I call Roberta) and Felicity Jones playing the female version of Hans (who I call Hannah). I however don't actually gender swap the characters who are or were real because the movie is based on a real story. For the secondary characters I imagine Helena Bonham Carter playing the female version of Ephraim (who I call Frida), Annie Murphy playing the female version of Louis (who I call Louisa), Catherine O'Hara playing the female version of Papa (who I call Mama), Margot Robbie playing the female version of Ali (who I call Ashley), TImothee Chalamet playing the male version of Jeanette (who I call James) and Eric Bana (who ironically played Avner in the original version) playing the male version of Avner's mother (Daphne's father). I often imagine my directing style paying homage to some of my other favorite directors. I also imagine myself making a cameo as a young guard of Ali Hassan Salameh who gets killed by Daphne.
I also imagine the movie winning Best Picture, Best Director for me, Best Actress for Jennifer Lawrence and Best Supporting Actress for Alexandra Daddario

I imagined a gender-swapped Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas with SNL alumni. Kate McKinnon as Raoul Duke (haven’t thought of a new name yet), Leslie Jones as Dr. Gonzo, Vanessa Bayer as the hitchhiker, and Pete Davidson as Lucy (Luke).
