Alternative film plots based on the title
I noticed a film in the schedules a few weeks where the title gave no ambiguity about exactly what the film was about, but it got me thinking about creating different film plots based solely on the title. They do have be totally different to the original film's plot though.
For example Olympus Has Fallen - A film about the financial downfall of a Japanese camera company. Star Trek - The story of a film star's walk across the Pennines. |

Star Wars - the story of movie stars waging battle against music stars against a showbiz-studded backdrop.
Jurassic Park - a two hour epic about giant sauropods in a park, where the local residents realise all the more inspiring dinosaurs won't arrive until the Cretaceous. Twister - a movie where the characters are pitted against each other in a challenge of upmost physical skill. Set entirely on a multi-coloured mat! Avatar - a film about a man's profile picture. Guardians of the Galaxy - a film about a bunch of people who must protect a chocolate bar. Iron Man - he does a lot of ironing. Children of Men - pretty self explanatory, a bit of a gruesome ending. Prayers for Bobby - the story of a cult that worships Bobby Davro. March of the Penguins - second sequel to January of the Penguins. Frozen - docudrama about the day-to-day running of Iceland supermarket. |
