BREWIN' IDEAS

If Hollywood is running out of ideas, so is Josh Collins.

I am making a very big reach for films here nowadays. I seem to have joined the ranks of others who make adaptations of certain things. Seems as if I'm just writing films to write them, unfortunately. I mean, look at my idea for a God of War film.

It will not stop, but I will try to adapt certain things I wouldn't mind seeing on the big screen myself.

One idea that is definitely coming into fruition: Here is a hint, he was an icon of the 1980s, he was short, brown and had a hunger for cats.

Another adaptation idea: In the similar vein of 1980s icons, another hint: They were Jim Henson muppets living underground.

Adaptation idea #3: 1980s Disney-cartoon icons about bouncing bears who also have a candy named after them.

I'll be honest, all three of these 80s icons may certainly be gracing the Collins roster of films once he can put together that magic little thing known as a plot. He will also have to study the TV shows as it's been nearly 30 years since they've last been seen on TV.

Honorable mentions goes to an adaptation of Neverending Story. The original author of the book hated the 80s film. Hopefully we can make something he would like to enjoy, but at the same time, there is a magic of the original 80s film that technology these days just can't touch and that is a big reason why we may just have to leave well enough alone here.

In terms of original works, I still have a few lined up, so I haven't COMPLETELY sold out.
*Bob Felton mentioned this week 'Here Kitty, Kitty' it is an animated film about house-cats getting stuck in the Australian outback and finding their way back home. This isn't the first film I've written about cats, remember Karate Kat? Cats need more adventure films, as adventurous and curious as they are(well, at least cats who get to roam around outside.)
*There is also an upcoming very morbid film about reincarnation down the pipeline.
*Another film which I hope does pretty well is about a guy and his roommate sister going on a trip to find the mother of the baby left on their apartment doorstep.
*Not pitched yet but still in writing development is about a 20-something year old virgin whose tired of being 'the hookup guy' aka the guy who gets his friends laid while he's always alone.


We wish to extend our thanks to Dawson Edwards for stepping up and continuing the Metroid series. We know he will surely be able to keep the series afloat. We are confident the latest addition will bring in every bit as much cash for CMP as the first film did!
