Remember that we only know the final creative team but really have no way of knowing who else may have been considered or approached. Maybe some women were either unavailable or just not interested in working on this project. (Which could be a credit to them considering the less than stellar word coming from the current tryout.)

But that's irrelevant to the fact that they still assembled an all male team to do a specifically more modern and feminist adaptation of a movie about a female sex worker. Are we to assume any project with an all male team is all male because women were approached but were unavailable or uninterested, and so they get credit for presumably only being all male because of that?

Actually I was intending to suggest that there was a slight possibility that some female creatives had the good sense to not want to have anything to do with turning this movie that hasn't necessarily aged well, is filled with lots of potential 21st century landmines, and seems to be little more than a cash grab. (I may have only actually succeeded in creating a series of run-on sentences. I did not intend to justify the production decisions.)
