I’m a screenwriter at heart… No that isn’t exactly true. Hmmmm? I’m a screenwriter by choice? Still doesn’t sound like the complete truth even if correct, but it doesn’t truly matter in this instance. What does matter is that I am a screenwriter. Technically aspiring. Which means I have ideas for and about movies a lot of the time.

Am I good at what I do? Ehhhhh, maybe? Either way one of my most ambitious, and possibly really stupid, ideas has to do with remaking something. Something very precious to many people’s hearts. A story we all know that, in my opinion, deserves to be told in the way it should’ve been told in the first place.

But you don’t want to hear that ( ; ) you want to hear what type of movies should be remade, don’t you?

You see I don’t remember who came up with the idea first, but when I heard it it made complete sense to me and I have thought that these types of movies should be remade ever since. It’s the bad ones you should remake. More specifically not exactly the horrible movies with no potential whatsoever, but the ones that had that brilliant idea inside of them that never came out the way you think it should’ve.

For example a famously bad movie based on a series that could’ve turned out amazing would likely be Avatar: The Last Airbender. A bad example to me would be something…
