Movies That Didn’t Actually Happen • Page 137

wow

 

isn’t that Screech? Did he change his name? If not I love the chaos of… whatever the fuck this is… with having Screech on the cover, dead center, but not having his name listed.

Edit: god dammit, stupid clipped images when not viewing on Twitter lol now I see

 

Written by the creator of Succession

 

Seen that one, don’t really remember anything about it. Always heard the original (I think French?) version was better

 

Force Majeure is a great movie. That version always seemed lame

 

saw both. remake sucked. the tone was completely missed. literally zero reason to remake it

 

In terms of movies that fit in this thread written/directed by acclaimed TV creators… Lucy in the Sky (2019) from Noah Hawley (Fargo) and Are You Here (2013) by Matthew Weiner (Mad Men)

 

my favorite examples


Vince Gilligan


Rob Thomas, Veronica Mars and Party Down not the other one


JJ Abrams

 

Vince Gilligan also wrote the late 90s film Home Fries starring Luke Wilson and Drew Barrymore

 

You can see where Vince Gilligan’s version of Hancock end and that hack Akiva Goldman’s began.

 

It's confusing how good Force Majeure is considering how big Ostlund's films have been since then.

 

CHIP (Actually Didn't) Happen(s)

 

I remember Dax going on WTF and basically saying how he wrote it and couldn’t get it made until it was called “CHiPS.”

 

There are a few funny parts in it.

 

Saw that one in theaters, I think I saw a bunch of weird ones and movies that didn't happen at our dollar theater when I was younger just for something to do

 

Nah, I legitimately just saw it a few months ago and it's wild. There are some very funny, bizarre parts in it.

 

I only think of this one because of the fact that Larry David was in it

 

He was?

Also, despite the script and such, the actors all did very good jobs

 

Wild that was supposed to be Jim Carrey, Benecio del Toro and Sean Penn.

 

In a similar vein, it's always crazy to me that M. Night did punch up on the She's All That script and wrote Stuart Little.

 

Stuart Little being a mouse might have been his greatest twist

 

I really want someone to do a deep dive and find the most outlandish sex-based renaming. Like them calling Shame "Sex Misery" or something.
