Pitch the most random tv or movie idea you can think of off the top of your head. Can be bad or good. A Primetime network mockumentary workplace comedy, but as a multi-cam sitcom. You can see the camera crews following the characters in every scene, and the testimonial scenes are in third person.
An Alvin and the Chipmunks movie where you can't hear the chipmunks sing or talk so David just seems insane, also they aren't cgi This would also work with Garfield and Jon Arbuckle
America's Next Top Sex Offender Top Gear: Tesla Inside the Actor's Studio with Jared Leto The Real Housewives of Amarillo Confederate (HBO)
A show like White Lotus where rich people are on vacation but they just relax and enjoy themselves without drama
A movie about a comic book supervillain whose origin and/or existence is intricately tied to their arch-nemesis, except let's remove said arch-nemesis and just see what they do instead for a couple hours.
I kind of regret not making this just a general "pitch a reboot/remake/sequel/prequel" thread because now I have a tons of actual ideas for a hypothetical DHCU (Die Hard Cinematic Universe) lol A prequel about young John McClain as a rookie NYPD cop in the late 70's. It would basically be a subversion of the trope that the original created where it is the antagonist that is placed in the "die hard in a ____" scenario. A lone disaffected Vietnam vet hides out inside a police precinct or courthouse and starts taking out the cops one by one. Young McClain has to stop him. Essentially its "Die Hard meets First Blood" in grimey 70's New York A prequel about the origins of the Gruber brothers in the criminal underworld of cold war era East Germany. Daniel Bruhl as one of the leads. A crime comedy where after the events of Nakatomi Plaza Argyll gets hired as a driver for a hollywood fixer and gets in fun dangerous limo adventures in early 90's Los Angeles.
Forrest Gump 2 - a legacy sequel that has Forrest's son go through the 21st century. (Tom Hanks now plays a grown up Forrest Jr in the sequel) This includes digitally adding Tom Hanks running to footage of the world trade center collapsing on 9/11, as well as where Forrest Jr was on January 6th.
A gritty crime drama prequels to home alone called bandits that explains Marc’s water related trauma that causes him to fixate on flooding houses
The Rock rebooting Junior. Similar to Lebron thinking he had to make his own Space Jam, The Rock decides he needs to do Junior. Kevin Hart is in the Danny DeVito role. Anyway, The Rock gets pregnant. Not only is the movie bad but he doubles down on the importance of him taking this role on instagram. The film bombs at the box office and the discourse is a nightmare.
ChatGPT gave me these... TV - A reality show about a group of people living in a house for several months, but instead of competing for prizes or money, they are competing for who can go the longest without using the bathroom. The show would be called "Hold it!" and would feature contestants experiencing intense discomfort and struggling to hold in their bowel movements while performing various physical and mental challenges. The last person remaining would be declared the winner and would receive a large cash prize. Movie - A horror movie about a group of friends who go on a camping trip, but instead of encountering wild animals or supernatural beings, they are stalked and hunted by a group of sentient, man-eating picnic tables. The tables, who have been possessed by an ancient curse, are able to move on their own and relentlessly pursue the campers, using their built-in bench seats and table legs as weapons. The movie would be called "Table Terror" and would feature graphic and gory scenes of the picnic tables feasting on the hapless victims.
