Movie Meltdown - Episode 393
This week we bust out a new game or
maybe more of just a mechanism designed to trigger amazing ideas.
Join us as we discuss properties that should be remade... or maybe
shouldn't? As we try to decide what's the best new direction we
could take the story... and the worst? And what's the most
interesting new casting for classic roles... and what's potentially
the most ridiculous casting choices ever?
And while we set up our apple boxes
and perspective shots, we also mention... Murder on the Orient
Express, Aidan Gillen, a tracheostomy in the middle of the buffet,
Brian De Palma, must love kung fu, Roger Moore... not dead,
artisanal, small batch, what's a fax machine, we have... a Canon
Films Studio... in this kitchen, Ocean's Eight, those must have
been good because you saw it thousands of times, Grimm, Shelley
Duvall, knock on his dead wood, Timothy Dalton vs. Pierce Brosnan,
red Swingline, shoes on a submarine sandwich, we've written so many
better movies then what comes out, there's nothing to lose... or
gain in remaking this, Face-off on Waterworld... with werewolves,
Lea Michele, it's movie magic, it is... its movie madness, a crazy
Clint Eastwood movie, Chris Pratt is like the new everyman, any
war-torn region, turtles with dreadlocks, the Harry Dean Stanton
Cthulhu movie, he doesn't need a face appliance and... but should
it be done?!
"All right... so we made that
work...green light. Make it happen Hollywood."
