Wouldn't he just? He could NAIL her dramatic nature!
She’s got that thing Billy Crudup had of sending messages with her eyes. Plus: I AM A GOLDEN GOD! :D
I knooooow! I really do think she could do anything!
Oooh, it turns my head how the gender stuff would change things even when the plot is played straight. Like when Jeff tells Russell his “looks are becoming a problem”: if they were female, Russell would probably get yelled at for “using her looks”, wouldn’t she? Male!Penny would be dancing on stages and believing he’s some ethereal muse for this woman he loves who never faces up to things. Meanwhile, female!William is infatuated with the world of rock and roll and with him. Fascinating stuff!
This is exactly the type of thing I was thinking about. I think you can make an argument that the movie's already really about the women (and about how the men don't understand them/can't touch who they really are), but if we swapped the genders...ten thousand times more interesting.
