I remember a few months ago, there was some talk about potentially remaking The Princess Bride and everyone was all up in arms about it, "Why would you remake this movie?", "It's the perfect movie", blah blah-blah blah-blah. I actually go another way. I think that The Princess Bride is maybe the most remake-able movie in history. Don't hate me, don't hate me, remember the TARDIS, let me explain. At the end of the day, The Princess Bride is not about Wesley, it's not about Buttercup, it's not about any of the characters, it's not even really about true love. The Princess Bride is a story about storytelling. The main characters of that story are not Fezzik, not Inigo, but the grandfather and the boy. My proposal for a kinda sequel, but really remake of The Princess Bride: We would start with Fred Savage, the boy from the first take of the movie, showing up to work. He then runs into his coworker, played by Queen Latifah, and asks, "Hey, is your granddaughter still sick?" and she says, "Yeah, I'm actually going home early today so I can watch her tonight." Savage's character then smiles, hands her a book and says, "Hey, when you go, read this to her. My grandpa used to read it to me and I loved it." And every other directorial decision you make through the whole movie process is how that little girl imagines the story as being told by her grandmother. It would be awesome and you know it.
