Nice idea, but you'd never get funding. So lean into it. Instead of remaking flops, demake them. Redo Battlefield Earth or Waterworld on a half million dollar budget. As the world watches your film with effects that would make Sharknado blush they will finally ask "what is art?"
I don't think Waterworld needs improving, but I recognize that I'm in the minority.
I'm conflicted about waterworld because the special effects were really good for the time but they have dated quite a bit since then.
It's mostly explosions, as I recall. Is it the miniature work that stands out to you?
Yeah try jumping exploding jetskis into an oil tanker on a half mil budget. The movie rocks.
Sharknado had a tornado filled with sharks with not much more special effects budget, and that was 13 years ago (how the time flies- like sharks in a tornado). We not trying to win Academy Awards for VFX with these demakes.
Waterworld is unfairly maligned and I won't stand for it. Yo you should watch it, seriously
Sharknado is pretty fun, competently made in my complete amateur opinion.
What I meant is in Waterworld they did that shit for real.
