Just when you thought movie studios would learn their lessons with recent adaptations of Baywatch, CHiPs, and Charlie's Angels, Blumhouse will be releasing Fantasy Island on Valentine's Day.
Now in the spirit of film adaptations and TV shows that are dramatic shifts from their IPs (see Riverdale and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), I've decided share my ideas for movie version of TV shows from the 60s and 70s with a modern/woke update.
Gilligan's Island-Five young adults along with their two-man crew have their charter boat shipwrecked on an uncharted island. As they try to get rescued, an unseen killer begins to pick them off one by one. The big twist is that the killer is Gilligan, a psychopathic incel. It turns out Gilligan went to the same high school as them and this was all his big plan to get revenge on the Chads and Stacys who were wealthier than him (the rich snob and his wife), smarter than him (the liberal intellect), or were repulsed by him (the attractive movie star). The skipper represents Gilligan's issues with his father/authority, and Mary Anne was someone Gilligan thought was a friend but did nothing to stop the bullying. None of the young cast recognize Gilligan because they "never saw him". In the climax between Gilligan and the final girl, Mary Anne, the latter reveals that she's a troon before defeating the former.
The Six Million Dollar Man-The title subverts your expectations as the main character is a black female agent. She sees herself as nothing more than a bionic slave doing the white man's dirty work. In an obvious revelation, the government sees her as a "prototype" for the real Six Million Dollar Man, who is a blond hair, blue eye Übermensch. Yas Queen Slay throughout the third act.
