It's a well-known fact that Hollywood like to remake things, sometimes even if said things have no business being remade. Sometimes, those remakes do well even if fans of the original rail against it as blasphemy, and sometimes they fail miserably before the pilot even gets out.


What would your pup/s' source material be like if remade to a different genre and/or format?


Tim (Sitcom/Dramatic Romance Film) -

When Tim's fiance transfers to France for her job, Tim's left scrambling to get his situation in order. Unable to find cheap housing in London, he agrees to lodge with a woman he'd gone to school with, but barely knows now. After several weeks of living together, Tim inevitably falls for Daisy (who would probably be called something else, like Charolette), and believing that his fiance is going to just do the same, begins to have an affair. Naturally, Sarah returns from France unexpectedly, and Tim is forced to chose between the two women in his life, knowing that no matter who he chooses, he won't be completely happy.


Go on. Show us yours!

I'm not sure that Dave's canon would do well as anything else. I'llh have to think about that.

Kratos' canon is already a manga, video game, and in the process of being made into an anime.

If they DON'T make a TV thing of one of the Watch books soon I will be Irritated. So that'd be awesome.

Giles has been through: TV show, comic books, spin-off books, in-series musical, video games I think... yeah. He's used to this.

Tavi, now: especially the last book of his canon was so CLEARY done with imagery in mind that I actually really want to see it as a movie. I mean. Dooood.

Narbonic pretty much has to be some kind of serial. I guess the most obvious alternative is a TV show?
