The Mad American Wrote:Not to veer off topic but if you think this is bad, they are remaking "Point Break". Honestly, this is one of those times that the WTF?!? thing is appropriate.
They already did, it was called The Fast and The Furious.
IanSF Wrote:Yet another Shakespearian play re-told in a modern setting is Ian McKellen's 'Richard III'. I don't think there was ever more than a screenplay written that could qualify as a re-write, but the film was very well done IMHO.
Films have been ripping off classic literature for decades, normally re-writting them with a high school setting. I'm toying with a modern school setting for The Three Muskateers :decision:
But this books idea seems odd to me, a novel is rarely an 'adaptation' of something else. A continuation, yes, seen plenty of 'characters' reused and sequalised/prequalised, but I wondered if a blatant adaptation has been done. Interesting to hear about Christopher Moore's Fool, I might have to look that up.
