New Plots for Old Movie Titles

Exactly what it says on the tin; pick any movie title and come up with a new plot then give the next title for the next person to come along and play with.

Here's an example - tragically not my own, I wish I could claim credit for it:

Casablanca:
America, 2020. The country's largest newspaper, Los Tiempos de Nueva York, runs a headline announcing that America has finally reached a population of Hispanic majority. Spanish is immediately announced as the official language of America (as well as Quebec) by the new Hispanic President, Jose Canusee, who makes the proclamation from la Oficina Oval in la Casa Blanca.

Present for the announcement is aging former President George W. Bush. After making the announcement, President Canusee turns to the former President and says, "Gringo, I'm afraid this is the end of a beautiful friendship. Your services are no longer needed. Vaminose, viejo hombre absurdo!"

OK, first up pick their own as I can't think of any to start with right now - get this ball rolling, dammit!

Samanfur "The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense." - Tom Clancy

*stamps foot*

Plagiarist! I set the next title over on IMDB yesterday, too...

But since you asked:

Don't Look Now:

Action. Jake Gyllenhaal is Patrick, a young paratrooper who - after breaking his back in a jump under fire that went tragically wrong - wants desperately to get back on duty.

But there's one tehnicality: he's suddenly very, very scared of heights.

Pushed on by the ghost of the friend he saw die alongside him (Josh Holloway), he's determined to finish the punishing recovery regime of his doctor (Vanessa Williams) and his commanding officer (Will Smith).

But when push comes to shove - so to speak - will he ever jump again?

The Truman Show
Drama. Truman Capote is given his own chat show on daytime TV, with his first celebrity guests being Elton John and George Michael over what really caused that public fight. But things turn sour when The Truman Show becomes an overnight sensation, TV execs declare The War of the Chat Show Ratings... how will Truman withstand the rival channel's surprise onslaught that is Alan Rickman, in-character in his famous role as the Sheriff of Nottingham?
