Can you make up a REALLY BAD idea for a Movie Remake, Movie Adaptation of a Book or old T.V. show, or movie sequel?

So you’ve been waiting five years for the remake of that 1980s blockbuster to finally come out.

Or, they finally made a MOVIE based on a television series you enjoyed a few years back. Or a REALLY GREAT movie you saw a couple of years ago they now came out with a sequel.

The reviews are bad, like one star—or whatever is the lowest. All the disappointed fans of the original. A few simpletons say it was great, and say it was the best movie ever. But people who are knowledgeable of the original criticize it heavily.

How bad can it be? You think.

Well, it is obvious that whoever wrote or produced this movie had very little understanding of the source material or underlying premise. They added childish and stupid extraneous material and characters, or with ‘creative license’ totally changed the setting, characters, background, into something that seemed to only use the name or reputation of the original.

Whatever the cause, they had little or no understanding of the original or never cracked the book. You REALLY want your money (and time) back, because you feel someone was just capitalizing on fans of the original.

So, what’s your idea? Make one up. Get as outlandish as you want. Anything’s possible in Hollywood.

Its okay if more than one person comes up with a sequel or remake of the same actual movie / book / television program here. And its alright if a remake or sequel, good or bad, has already been made. Just keep it like a really stupid premise for a remake, sequel, or adaptation.
