First of all, who would be the leads, would you gender flip this and make Billy Ray and Lewis as women. Or does that under cut the whole message of white guys having it good, women in general of all colors they have similar stuff to overcome as people of color. Not saying it is the same, don't get me wrong.
Could it be done today? Has the premise been redone before? I recall a movie from the late 90's / early 2000's about a couple of step siblings messing with people's lives just like the Duke's, I don't remember the movie, but those character were parodied in Not Another Teen Movie.

As they had good chemistry in Get Hard, I could see Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart as the leads.

I feel like it could be done, but the original still hits plenty hard. I am not sure that a new one would necessarily bring anything new to it. A strong cast would help, but it'd probably be better to try to tackle something else, like even a "Grumpy Old Men".
I doubt it'd be a stumbling block, but if they did remake it, you know people would be irritated about how there'd be an extensive social media history in all likelihood that'd make the nature of the hijinks less likely to be as effective. Of course, movies have those sorts of logic holes all the time, but that's not a point in its favor.

Well you know who they could gender flip, one of the Duke's, a brother / sister white billionaires making this type of bet doesn't change much, and if so casting suggestion, Jane Fonda.

Why do a full gender swap? Just swap one of them, most likely the initially successful one. Have one of the jokes being the Eddie Murphy stand in immediately gets a 40% pay raise over the fired woman since that’s how much women get paid less in those industries.

I'd flat out rewrite/image the two rich old dudes as the Olsen Twins.

Would it be crypto scams instead of orange juice?

Would it be crypto scams instead of orange juice? They’d have to make some change. The climax of the original film was basically legally possible at the time but was fixed after the film came out. They’d need a new trick pony to ride to the climax. |

Probably get rid of the blackface in it as well.

It will still have the gorilla rape though, won't it? Because without a gorilla rape, I just don't see how you have a movie.
