ALT User 'madlori" writes: Remaking The Princess Bride. This is obviously a sacreligious concept and not to be tolerated. Unless. I have heard two (2) ideas that I would accept as potential remakes of TPB.
1. Fred Savage is a father, whose 10 year old daughter is sick, and he's reading her the book his grandfather used to read to him when he was sick. Because it's a new audience, and a different time, the story is recast and reimagined. The daughter interrupts in different places than The Grandson did. Bonus points if the book story portions are word-for-word from the original, but shot/costumed/acted differently.
2. Muppets.
