Your choice whether you are writing the screenplay, directing, ... or hiring someone for these things. Also assume permission from the original work's author(s), of course.

Okay, it's already been done twice in Japan, but I wanna do an adaptation of Urusei Yatsura but have it essentially be a continuation of the UK dub thatasted maybe an episode or two. Instead of the JP dub, just have the hilarious UK dub continued like nothing happened and it got the greenlight to continue.

BBC's "Lum the Space Invader" dub should have 100% continued because it is so good as a comedy.
