You have to lose a major movie studio hundreds of millions, what bad movie do you make?

Star Trek: Beyond Musical

All singing, all dancing mission of the starship Enterprise. See Klingons tap dance. Hear Spock sing, “The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins.” LENS FLARE! LENS FLARE, people! Prepare to be dazzled beyond the rim of star-light! Live long and… scene.

If you want Smell-O-Vision, you should do a documentary on leather tanning. :smiley:

Snicker. Sorry, I’m such a juvenile. (At heart, not really.)

I was going to suggest an action/disaster movie based on the Great Molasses Flood but that might actually be interesting.

That’s all of the two hour third episode!

They could just film Keep on Trekkin’ – The Star Trek Musical from Mad #186

It’s been done.
German comedy- enuf said:

Read it in high school. Sure, it’s a tough read, but I could tell it was great. And yes, I think it could be dramatized. War in Heaven? The Creation? Expulsion from Eden? Not word for word, but still, it could be great.

I haven’t read the entire thread, but if nobody’s suggested Scrappy Doo: The Prequel (or the anything, really) that would be my choice.

Who plays Cousin O.J.?

Shot-for-shot remake of Birth of a Nation, except all the characters are race-swapped.

How do you have a prequel for someone who was canonically born in the middle of the show itself?

On second thought, don’t answer that.

I saw that episode, not bad at all

btw, why not lose money by making a good movie, e.g. Ivan the Terrible Part 3, or something original [believe me, I have you covered :wink: ], or anything else really as long as it is not a Hollywood-style movie.

Carrie: The Musical?

(I know it’s been done, but not on the screen. The financial failure worked quite well on Broadway, $8 million and 5 performances. I’ve heard that every theater person in New York was calling all their friends night and day, screaming “You’ve GOT to go see this, quick before it closes.” I’d give anything to have been one of them.)

99% of the budget will be the time machine…

Sure, it can be dramatized – easily. Lotsa special effects.

But the post stated it was simply to be read – no visuals – and by Drew Carey. That ought to be a real money-loser.

And I agree it’s great, but I had a helluva time getting past that language. And I’ve read lots of difficult stuff.

Not only will it be a success, there will be people on this board saying it is the best trek ever.

The easy answer is to think of a unsullied, cherished IP from your childhood and do a gritty reboot of it.

The solution is clearly for the movie studio to speculatively expend hundreds of millions trying to exhume and clone Errol Flynn.

My Little Pony in da Hood FTW!

There’s actually a musical about the people of Gander, NFLD and their response to people from more than 100 countries coming to their city on 9/11. I only know this because it’s been playing in my city.
