MF MAGAZINE INTERVIEW

If you could take any dramatic movie released in the past decade and remake it with a comedic spin, what would that movie be and how would you change it?

Terminator 2, I’d make it about one of the Mall Shop Owners whose store was destroyed during the T-800 and T-1000 fight scene. He’d try to explain what happened to the cops they wouldn’t believe him. He’d keep trying to tell everyone about “the robots” but everyone thinks he’s crazy. Eventually his wife would leave him, he’d start drinking and then one night he’d decide to hunt down these robots and try to capture one. Then I’d make the ending like movie version of “Clue”, in one version he’d kill the robots and in another the robots would kill him and in the real ending you’d reveal that he isn’t a shop owner at all he’s just a kid in a coma and this is all in his dream.
