An interesting fact. The first person to actually travel around the world in 80 days was a female New York World reporter, Nellie Bly, in 1882.
So, although it is a rewrite / remake, perhaps it isn’t actually unrealistic.
Nellie Bly did her trip ( suggested by the editor of her paper...NOT her idea! ) in 1888 and did it in 72 days. Please check facts before you post drivel.
