therumpus: Today Jim and I were imagining how we would re-cast iconic action flicks with only lady actors. I cast 1988 Anjelica Huston as Hans Gruber which was almost too easy because of course. But then Jim cast 1988 PHYLICIA RASHAD as John McClane and I sort of lost it. Because can’t you just see it? Phylicia Rashad barefoot and grimy and crawling through ventilation shafts muttering to herself about how her wife is going by her maiden name again as if “Holly McClane” isn’t good enough anymore, Phylicia Rashad squeezing shards of glass out of her feet and having a heavy heart-to-heart with a stranger via CB radio, Phylicia Rashad wading through an extravagant office fountain under a downpour of electrical sparks and collapsing drywall, the last pistol in the world fucking duct-taped to her bleeding back. PHYLICIA RASHAD YOU GUYS!! AS JOHN MCCLANE!! I am getting emotional over here. Amanda Gotera on alternative casting and a Die Hard we can only dream of. RELEVANT
