Geena Davis wants filmmakers to leave Thelma & Louise alone
In the age of constant remakes and reboots, Geena Davis has a humble request: Don’t touch Thelma & Louise, unless she’s somehow involved. “I would be against somebody doing, let’s say, Thelma & Louise without it being Susan [Sarandon] and me,” she told Variety at Sundance. “I wouldn’t like it. Maybe they’ll do it someday, but I wouldn’t like it.“ Well, she can take heart in knowing we probably wouldn’t enjoy seeing that happen either. After all, what clever concept could a studio come up with that would improve on Ridley Scott’s original? An all-male version? No, thank you. Still, the story of two women going on the lam and taking a stand against toxic male culture hasn’t lost any of its relevance, so we wouldn’t immediately rule out some smart new spin.
