Well: She is not that into you

Would be interesting with role reversed.

Maybe not.

The Craft had a lot of solid occult references to it for a pop movie. Gen X movie echoing revival/development of feminine spiritual mysteries re:neopaganism. Revival of masculine side of those mysteries 21st Gen Z style with all that's changed in last 30 years with Chaos magick and other stuff the internet has opened up since The Craft and all the genders flipped would be a wild film.

This is an interesting observation. Are we due a masculine "coming of age" revival? Seems like boyhood to manhood rituals have all but disappeared from modern society with the constant deconstruction of what being a man means, maybe we are primed for a film that really redefines (more like 'reintroduces' I guess) masculinity to a crowd not even aware of how desperately they need it.

I'm not talking about "slap a woman on the ass while swigging a beer" masculinity, more the "get a handle on your shit and get the job done" stuff we used to take as a fundamental understanding.

A remake of The Craft wouldn't be able to do it all, but that's a great general idea.

It doesn't have to be Mithraic or Arthurian or Sun Dance. Can take from this and more but stripped down syncretic and keep it to neopaganism. Hit at appropriation too. Psychology Anima. Pan and Nuit.
So many valuable touchstones could be connected by the theme with a modern take.

Edit: Should add. IIRC there was a 16 yo girl occult bookstore clerk advised on The Craft. If that's the case it was also a vehicle for youth to communicate their spiritual beliefs not have their views misrepresented by being imposed.
That would be important for the remake.

Edit2: I called the original a Gen X movie. It might be more properly considered one of those uncommon Xennial movies.

They should make male version of those bitter divorced women movies like First Wives Club and Waiting to Exhale. Show the male side of divorce. I bet it would get a lot of backlash.

Yeah... lol, this thread only illustrates that it doesn't work in reverse.

It's a lot like the pattern with names. Formerly male baby names will frequently be adopted for girls in a subsequent generation and feminized as a result, but you almost never see the opposite pattern. This is simply the reality of how male / female positions work, and that it's not symmetrical.

Just change "Sister" to "Mister" and the movies write themselves.

You could do "9 to 5" but call it "7 to 4" and have it be about all the backbreaking manual labor jobs men do that ruin their bodies by 40 and lead to an early death that just isn't understood by their white collar female marketing exec :p
