Topic: Reboot One Thing However You Want
You get one thing: game, tv show, movie, comic book, 5th grade hairstyle, whatever, to reboot and remake today.
You also get to make it however you want.
Be as brief or detailed as you want.
Points are awarded for non obvious answers*. So QI rules essentially, let's make something interesting.
To get things rolling, I'm going throw out there:
Dinotopia, Yes, this Dinotopia:
Done as an HBO miniseries, using practical dinosaurs as created by a collaboration of Stan Winston studios and the Walking With Dinosaurs workshop mixed with CG dinos when required (ala Jurassic park).
I absolutely fell in love with the concept of Dinotopia (Short short version: a magically isolated island hidden in a storm, where a civilization exists in harmony with Dinosaurs in a mutually beneficial relationship. Also, some dinosaurs are super smart and can talk. In the TV series, 2 brothers crash land their plane in a storm, wash up on Dinotopia, they can never leave, one digs it, one doesn't. Adventure!) when I was in middle school/high school. And would love to see it reborn as something with some meat to it, and as something that wouldn't be afraid to go really hard with the fantasy horror ideas, along with the Dino gore. Plus, look at this art (From the novels), could you not see this being done by the Game Of Thrones crew? I think it would be amazing.
Unfortunately Dinotopia kind of falls into the same category as Avatar in most respects, I absolutely love the universe and the world building, and most of the ideas that are put forth, but unfortunately it falls flat. At least in Avatars case it pulled off the visuals and was very pretty, and only faceplanted on having a decent story. Dinotopia just falls flat on it face in almost every respect, granted most of that was due to it being a Disney Channel special, so all I'm left with is the really great concept and a heart full of shattered dreams.
(BTW, if this interested you enough to go try and watch the series...I will warn you..it's bad...like really bad. Which is why I seriously want a reboot )
Now you go.
*The points don't matter.
(Sorry if this is a little proto-new-forum, but I think it'll be fun)
