I’ll start with two examples to get the ball rolling:
-
Gnomeo and Juliet: Romeo and Juliet… but with garden gnomes!
-
The Santa Clause: A guy has to become Santa because of a literal legal “clause” after the real Santa’s death
Here’s the rule though- they must be high concept and original movies. You can’t just say someone came up with the title ‘Spider-Man’ and they decided to make a Spider-Man film.
The film should have an aura of “they came up with a title first”
