    I want something completely different… Pick up rejected movie ideas from the 1920s and 1930s and make them EXACTLY like they would have done back then.

      Tbf that is the modern version. The old one from the BBC definitely suffered from lackluster effects.

      I do wish they would do one that follows the plot of the radio show. It would probably have to be a TV series though, it goes on a movie.

    Alien is an interesting case study.

    Dan O’Bannon wrote the screenplay for the movie Dark Star. It was not a great movie. He took his core concept, wrote a new version with less comedy and more horror and that became Alien.

    depends how recent the movie/show is. but currently reboots of old movies are often terrible compared to the original.

      Instead of making another high action time travel movie they could make something more adventurous. Also don’t make it a silly family friendly movie. We need more serious adventure films that aren’t reboots.

      Instead of remaking or rebooting successful movies memes. how about vou remake old movies memes that flopped or movies memes that suffered from bad effects and improved them?

    I think the answer to the question she asks is that an unholy alliance of focus groups, market analysts, and accountants have calculated that the Path to Most Money ™ goes over in the opposite direction, away from the fun stuff.

    I’m sure there’s usually good low budget feature-length stuff out there being made, but in today’s media landscape it’s up to the viewer to find interesting and unique content. It isn’t going to be blasted into the faces of all the passive viewers like Avengers 37 will be.
