possible films to REIMAGINE once i finish "alice in wonderland"...

rebel without a cause starring johnny depp. so. fucking. perfect. i've been stitting on this one for awhile.

malcolm x - clearly a role johnny depp was born to play. why do other people even use casting directors?? to get the makeup right, i may have to actually meet some black people and see what they really look like in person.

the ten commandments. stop motion. j depp voices goth moses. God depicted as a black-and-white-striped merry-go-round. if only vincent price was around to voice Him/Her/It ... Red Sea parted by elaborate, archaic-looking, whimsical machinery. lots of gears and springs and conveyor belts that look totally sweet but don't really do anything.

edward scissorhands. stop-motion musical. nuff said. hot topic already interested in licensed lunchboxes and vinyl backpacks.

star wars. mark wahlberg as luke skywalker. johnny depp as The Force.

modern times. this one might just be too easy.

2001: a space odyssey. always thought danny elfman could score a much better intro piece for this one. depp as monolith. hal 9000 designed to look like a rube goldberg invention from a medieval dungeon painted by ska fans on mescaline.

also, original bio-pic: the tragedy of johnny depp and winona ryder. ryder's part to be played by helena bonham carter.

continue these thoughts later. have to go see who's knocking, knocking at my chamber door.
