Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson are con artists in the trailer for The Hustle - a gender-swapped remake of the 1988 comedy Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.


The Hustle is far from the only recent film to reimagine an older movie by changing its leads' gender. Just last week, in fact, Taraji P. Henson starred in What Men Want, a new take on Nancy Meyers' 2000 comedy, What Women Want. Before then, of course, there was 2016's Ghostbusters reboot and last year's Ocean's Eight: a movie that takes place in the Ocean's universe, but centers on Danny Ocean's sister, Debbie Ocean, instead.


For The Hustle, Hathaway and Wilson play gender-bent versions of the con men portrayed by Steve Martin and Michael Caine in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.


The movie follows the two women as they compete to swindle a 20-something tech billionaire (Alex Sharp) out of his fortune, after reaching an agreement that whoever loses have to leave town for good. With Wilson's rom-comedy parody Isn't It Romantic opening in theaters this week, MGM has decided to use the occasion to kick off marketing for The Hustle, ahead of its release this May.The official trailer for The Hustle is now online, after Hathaway and Wilson spent yesterday teasing its arrival through their social media accounts.
