Screen 18 of 28

I thought you would find the premise of an upcoming Vince Vaughn movie interesting. It is called “Used Guys” and the premise is in the future, women are now the dominant sex and sterile men are kept as slaves奴隶 — a person kept in total obedience. According to the director Jay Roach, it is set in the future, where women run the Earth. Men killed themselves off by ingesting some kind of enhancement drink. Women now get cloned companions, and the two leads are rendered obsolete by a new clone line that promises to be sexier, better listeners and superior lovers. The dumped duo goes on the run, hoping to regain manhood by searching for a male Nirvana known as Mantopia.

Reminds me of the great female dominant themed sci-fi movies I loved so much as a kid. Thank you for all that you do.

A. I tried to look up this movie and one site said that it was going to star Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller but another site said the movie has been placed on hold. It looks as if the movie has already been in for some rewrites (that is never a good sign).

I bet they got this idea from the 1953 Abbott and Costello movie, “Abbott and Costello Go to Mars”. In that comedy, Bud and Lou crash land on Venus and encounter a planet populated entirely by beautiful women and no men. There was a slight FemDom女性支配 — female domination theme to that comedy but it sounds like “Used Men” will bring a modern sociological twist by making it a futuristic movie about women dominating Earth.
