The Oscar-winning film has been one of the most talked about movies revolving award season for quite some time, but ‘The Women of Wall Street’ trailer is stirring up a gender swapped version. It may not be nominated for best picture, but it definitely is a great remake.
The parody was uploaded by YouTube user Nicole Donadio and is a pastiche of Martin Scorsese’s Oscar nominated film. The parody features word for word recreations of some of the film’s best scenes. The major difference between the two trailers is budget and the gender swap. The trailer features a cast of women.
Nicole Donadio is an independent filmmaker and writer from Los Angeles who decided to make the trailer, saying “wanted to have fun, and explore” the whole “boys will be boys” saying and turn it into girls will be girls.
