I think it depends who they cast. For example Tilda Swindon is one of the rumoured names and that's an exciting casting choice even without the gender swap. If the quality of the actress and the role they're given is good enough to make the woman thing secondary then they can pull it off.
The danger would be an inability to get past it and allow it to stand or fall on it's own. The politics could overwhelm it irrespective of it's merits.
