Not a huge amount of room to be different, but not sure I'd expect much more either.
I'm not sure it makes much sense to gender swap, feels like it would be hard without changing the character significantly. Happy to be proven wrong though.
A new character in the same universe would be easier. It's a shame they never spun off Hallie Berry's character, that could have been interesting.
The Jinx film almost happened. There was a script, a director in Stephen Frears but apparently MGM got cold feet spending $80m on the film.
Berry said,
Aww, I never heard of that, shame.
Modesty Blaise was supposed to be a 'refugee' raised in 'the Middle East.' She could be Kashmiri, Afghan, or Iraqi.
I'd do it with two actresses; a fifty-something Modesty narrating her life story and a younger actress for the early years.
