Should we pretend that it's 1940 right now and simply adapt a 2000's film? Does that mean that we could change items of the film to adapt to the 1940s era?

Should we assume that the audience is the audience of the 1940s?

Yes to all, IMO.

Please clarify this statement - I'm sort of mind-boggled by this...

I assume that you mean that it would wrong to use 2010's The Wolfman, but please help me understand...

Avoid those films that has something related to those original films; character wise may be. Moreover, I think the studio was bit packed with the sequels of those popular monsters in 40's, that's why the challenge is looking for something fresh but acceptable (& make-able) for that particular decade.

Yes & it'd be better if it has an universal appeal as well.


Darn, the challenge is not so easy as I though earlier!:o

96 Hours = Tuesday, 10-11-2011, 02:25 AM EST, correct?

Sweet - That means I can put this off until tomorrow. Not gonna lie, but I'm giving myself a headache with this.

I'd pick Ichi the Killer.

71 hours and 46 minutes have passed, and I have yet to receive an entry.

A little over 24 hours remain...

It'll be done tonight. This weekend was focused on (finally) writing my essays for entrance into Babson College's Evening MBA program as well as getting the word out for the Cure-a-thon.

Now that they're done and I've applied (HOORAY!), I really have no excuse.

I know what movie I'm going to do, it's a matter of writing it down.

FYI - I'm a bit burned out from work and lame-essay-writing (not that MY essays were lame of course - The topics they give you are RETARDED), so this effort isn't as inspired as my last two unfortunately.

I'm probably not going to be participating in this one. I've got a serious case of writers block and a lot of personal problems i've been trying to work out lately so i havent had any time to write.
