  • An all-Black remake initially proposes Denzel as a billionaire modeled on Bob Johnson or Byron Allen, then questions whether he would accept a cuckold role.
  • The preferred reworking casts Queen Latifah as an Oprah-like billionaire, Tessa Thompson as her wife and Idris Elba as the photographer; Zoë Kravitz is an alternative wife.
  • The doomed third survivor becomes a white man, with French Stewart or John Stamos proposed to reverse the original trope.
