What happens when the indie world gets the rights to a bigger film and remakes it. What would the mumblecore interpretation of avatar be? A dude in a band moves to a different town and tries to fit into their band culture?

what hollywood movie would best be reinterpreted by the indie world?

A remake should offer a new spin or retelling. A straight up remake is pointless, a little insulting and kind of annoying. A retelling, however, is an honor.

Speaking of, can’t wait to see what Hollywood and Mr. Carrell do to your awesome real-life version of their movie. Hoping for the very, very best, of course.

That being said, it’s high time for a reboot of the “Old Joy” franchise!
