Alias: The Genderswap Edition  
Avoided the usual suspects (you know what I mean, lol)






Enver Gjokaj as Syd Bristow


Lena Olin as Johanna Bristow


Glenn Close as Arrianne Sloane


Victor Garber as Ivan Derevko


Dichen Lachman as Michelle Vaughn


Sophie Okonedo as Marcia Dixon


Summer Glau as Maura Flinkman


Iwan Rheon as Nicolas Santos


Anna Torv as Julianne Sark


Donald Glover as Francis Calfo


Kristen Bell as Willow Tippin


Jamie Bamber as Laurence Reed
BEST. NAME. EVARRRRR



Can you imagine Anna Torv and Jamie Bamber going all out as Lauren(ce) and Sark? IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MAGNIFLORIOUS.

And Glenn Close would have made a very scary Sloane.

I uploaded these on Tumblr. If you wish to reblog them, here they are
 
 
mood: accomplished

THIS IS AWESOME, I WANT IT!!!!!! I extra love Victor!Syd/Sierra!Vaughn and the SpyRents just swapping roles, because clearly that is the only way it could possibly be. ♥ And, okay, Donald Glover and Kristen Bell as Syd's BFF's -- seriously, seriously, I want this show!

(Laurence Reed! ♥ I named my main guy Laurence in the story I am currently working on, because, well. No explanation necessary, really. It is now my go-to old school sounding name.)

I was planning on making Dichen as Willow Tippin, but decided against it because I can't think of any dark-haired actress whom Enver can have chemistry with.

I actually want to see how VG would play a morally ambiguous Derevko (and he's gonna have two other brothers who'll try to flirt with his ex-wife and he'll all be GRR) while LO plays the very protective mama bear. I couldn't see Johanna Bristow as a distant parent, although I'm thinking she's going to be a little like Lucille Bluth when it comes to her son's choices in women.

Olivia Reed is the best character name ever, and it's canon. MUAHA. ♥

This is GENIUS. And holy crap the thought of Torv/Bamber evil/sexy shenanigans makes me ridiculously gleeful. So, so much pretty/perfection here. Great job! :)

My most fave casting would have to be the Sark/Lauren(ce) casting. All kinds of sexy and hot and evil. Hee ♥

Thanks XD

I saw these on Tumblr and I absolutely love that you switched Lena and Victor. I would watch the hell out of that.

I can't imagine a genderswapped Alias without Victor (and Lena). It would have been epic!

They're what make Alias for me. The switch is just so intriguing.

OMGGGGGG.
Glenn Close as Sloane is genius! I loooove Anna Torv and Jamie Bamber as Sark and Reed.
It's great that you kept Lena and Victor as the 'rents, 'cause no one else cold ever replace them. =DD

I want to see this on my TV too! Bristow/Derevko. GUH. I want to see VG play a morally ambiguous character with feelings. haha!

This was genius! For some reason a Glenn Close/Victor Garber affair doesn't bother me at all the way that the Irina/Sloane affair did before. But, does this mean that everyone always knew about Nicholas or did Glenn!Sloane disappear for a bit when pregnant? (God, this is fun to think about...)

I WANT this show. Anna Torv as Sark? Just so fab.

This show would have a different tone than the original. I would think that Johanna would be more emotionally accessible to Syd, although I think Johanna would be wearing her judgmental face all the time. I think Nicolas would be Bristow-Derevko, but a Sloane/Derevko affair still would have happened. AND OMG, RAMBALDI IS A WOMAN.

Anna Torv/Jamie Bamber: make it happen, world.

Oh my gods, this is beyond glorious.

Can you imagine Anna Torv and Jamie Bamber going all out as Lauren(ce) and Sark?
Yes, yes I can. I am getting all hot and flustered here XD

This needs to happen. Right now. RIGHT NOW.
(and then Redd and Sark gets a spinoff and run around the world being hotass and evil)
