Hollywood knows the original was popular, loved by many and hope that it will appeal to a modern audience and to those who enjoyed the original. But the truth is, the second time you have a big slice of that chocolatey gooey dessert, it's not quite as delicious as that very first bite. in fact the more you eat it, the more you will probably start to dislike it and perhaps even hate it! The same can be said of remade movies. My boyfriend enjoyed the original Star Trek movies, and the remakes according to him (a bonafide Trekkie), just aren't the same. While they're good, they're just not right. I have to say I would probably be excited if in a few years someone remade the Harry Potter movies, but would expect disappointment.
We all had favourite movies or franchises, we all saw the movies and had some fun. But it's over, time to move on and get some fresh ideas. Or is that the problem? Hollywood is out of ideas for new films. Solution: get some fresh minds on the job!
Lets throw some ideas about:
Train to nowhere... The last train from a city station has no signage due to a computer malfunction. Passengers board believing it to be their train and are never seen again.... In reality they're transported to a new dimension where nothing exists. It's literally nowhere. They can leave the train for brief periods but can't stay out for longer than a day or they will implode. They need to build something to either return to reality or build a new universe. Of course there will be divisions and some will stay and some will escape...
Real love... A realistic look at romance, dating and love. Where the girl doesn't always get the guy in the end. Or the guy calls her out on her true character and ends up with an unexpected partner...
Kids world... Get kids to develop a story idea to interest their peers...
Easy, Simple, Done!
