I'm also thinking about who would direct a Tank Girl reboot. My mind immediately went to George Miller, but he already has Mad Max.

Here are some ideas:

  • Sam Raimi (Evil Dead movies, Spider-Man movies, Doctor Strange 2, etc.)
  • Tim Miller (Deadpool, Terminator: Dark Fate)
  • Edgar Wright (Cornetto trilogy, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Baby Driver, etc.)
  • Paul Verhoeven (RoboCop, Total Recall, Starship Troopers, etc.)

Margot Robbie’s production is apparently developing a new tank girl film.

Her Harley Quinn is SO inspired by Lori's Tank Girl performance. Nothing will change my mind on that.

Modern Harley Quinn is basically just girl Deadpool. And Deadpool, who started out as a Death stroke clone is now basically just man Tank Girl.

In attitude a bit, I guess? The snark reminds me more of Tank Girl than DP honestly. She's also not as meta as Deadpool though. Deadpool is basically male She Hulk in that respect (at least John Byrne She Hulk, where she was at her most fourth wall breaking).

She violently kills people, loves fast food, makes puns, bad jokes and pop culture references. Plus she's bisexual and horny.

You could probably make a game out of who said it by mixing their dialogue.

My gosh I’m sorry. I read everything but that last paragraph.

It’s such a good film a modern remake would be so cool especially if made by a deadly woman (I know the original is teenage fan-service but it is meta).

Kathryn Bigelow (Near Dark, the greatest vampire movie)

Ana Lily Amirpour (A girl walks home alone at night, such a punk)

Lucile Hadzihalilovic (Évolution, would love to see this director do a black comedy)

The real problem would be casting as Lori Petty is perfect for the role…I hope it’d be someone more exciting than the likes of Margot Robbie (yawn)…

I'd go with Miller or Wright if I wanted to get close to the comic probably.
