Female version?

Perhaps Charlize Theron

must have a female actress that looks weak but eventually able to become strong, so she must not have a tough chick persona. not Jovovich not Theron. also I believe she must dare to be nude as it is now a requirement for such story. you need to satisfy dude's eyes.

Emilia Clarke would fits.

If I had to pick someone to be stranded on a deserted island with, I would pick Supergirl.

Because she could fly us back to safety.

Considering wokeness and all, it would have to be a gay African-Asian female to be remade today.

It would be a short movie, as she'd be dead within a couple weeks of washing up on the island.

Too soon for a remake, in my opinion. Would rather have film makers come up with new ideas!

Could be anyone, but Melissa McCarthy would be a bit weird, yet funny.

They're working on a transgender version where Elliott Page is stranded, and when the hormone pills run out, turns back into Ellen. Instead of FedEx, there's going to be a ton of Bud Light and Ben and Jerry's that washes ashore. Ellen will use a Bud Light can to carve out her rotten wisdom tooth as well as create a giant beer can pyramid to worship.
