The ship hit an uncharted wormhole, which dropped them out of hyperspace and blew out the stasis pods, along with killing most of the crew. The humans on board had to learn how to operate the ship and limp back to Earth, taking 35 years to complete it. ---

OK, I couldn’t have dreamt this one up, but apparently it’s a real thing. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/43_Nh6ymnRQ/maxresdefault.jpg "Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood and Honey / 2022 Official Trailer") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43_Nh6ymnRQ) ---

**Office Space** , after the tech bubble burst and the Y2K thing blew over. How is the main character, Peter, doing in the construction business, and the other two guys (Samir, and Michael Bolton) with ‘Inner-probe’ - how are their careers working out? What happened to Lumbergh, and Milton, and “The Bobs”? It would be fun to see treatment of modern office dynamics, with the whole “open plan” workspaces, telecommuting, Zoom calls, social media, the pandemic, etc. 20 or so years after the events in the original. What office device would be destroyed with a baseball bat today? ---

I would like to see a reunion of the cast of [The Three Musketeers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three_Musketeers_(1973_live-action_film)), [The Four Musketeers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Four_Musketeers_(1974_film)), and [The Return of the Musketeers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Return_of_the_Musketeers) to make a film based on [The Vicomtet of Bragelonne](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vicomte_of_Bragelonne:_Ten_Years_Later). (You may have heard of the last installment of the story: “The Man in the Iron Mask”) Sadly, Richard Lester is retired, and Oliver Reed and Frank Finlay are dead. ---

> [@mbh](#): > > Sadly, Richard Lester is retired, and Oliver Reed and Frank Finlay are dead. And everybody else is really fucking **old**. Also dead are Roy Kinnear, Spike Milligan, Christopher Lee, Jean-Pierre Cassel, and Charlton Heston. Chris probably doesn’t count because he died in the movie. ---

I would love to see _Mathilda_, a sequel to _Leon_, (aka _The Professional_). Although if I recall correctly this idea has come up before and Natalie Portman didn’t go for it so it ended up being a similarly-themed movie starring Zoe Saldana. ---

**Who Filmed Roger Rabbit** The year is 2022, 75 years after the events of the first movie. Times are tough in Toontown. Some of the big stars, like Bugs and Mickey, still make a decent living off their residuals, but a lot of the residents haven’t worked in years. Many have moved away. Meanwhile, life is good in Pixburg. Woody, Buzz, the Minions, and lots of others are living high-on-the-hog in their mansions. Success has gone to some of their heads. When the cameras aren’t rolling, Woody is a jerk. Maroon Studios starts a Kickstarter campaign to reboot the Roger Rabbit cartoons. It’s a success, so they set out to make some new shows for an online streaming service. Eddie Valiant IV (James McAvoy) is working for Cloverleaf Associates, Hollywood’s largest talent agency. He’s given the task of rounding up the old gang. Only Roger and Jessica are still in Toontown. Baby Herman is a Legion of Honor member and lives on his winery in France. Benny the Cab owns a charter fishing boat in the Florida Keys. As Eddie visits all the cast members, the project starts to generate a lot of buzz. Woody and the other computer-animated stars set out to sabotage the reunion so that it never gets made. The original combined traditional animation and live action (characters and backgrounds) in a way that was seamless and brilliant. Imagine adding computer-animated characters to that world, all of them interacting with each other. ---

This is so brilliantly stupid I want them to do it. What they are more likely to do is [film the musical version](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundhog_Day_(musical)) like they’ve just done with _Matilda_. And Tim Minchin wrote the songs for both. ---

Oooh - good call to delete that; Milton becomes much less funny if he’s a murderer (even if it’s Lumbergh he kills.)
