MANOS: a remake of the worst movie of all time: The Script
Time

So, I decided to script a remake of Manos: The Hands of Fate.

The idea is to take the basic framework of the original and build something new out of it. (in other words, to build something on it at all.)

So far, I’m still working on the major plot beats and themes, I’m using most of the original characters, and the location of El Paso’s outskirts. Other than that, it’s a whole new thing.

I’m going to have the “hotel” be more of an actual hotel, with more than one employee including (good ol’ Torgo), and all the Manos cult stuff now happens in the basement of the hotel. The ending (so far) will have The Master winding up getting on Manos’s bad side and being killed as a result, thus giving the movie a much lighter ending than the original.

I also want to add some more suspense and even a mild amount of backstory to The Master and the Manos cult, perhaps something along the lines of The Master abusing his power, etc., etc.

The thing is, I kinda suck at writing scripts like this, so if anyone can give me some tips, they would be much appreciated.

I’ll update you on stuff as it comes up/gets written.

Matching multi-purpose posters for the Bond series
Time

A project I’m working on to make matching poster for all 26 Bond movies.

They will all have a stripe running diagonally through the middle (alternates direction every other movie) with various images inside, and the same general layout.

I’ll release them in decade/actor sets, I’m working on You Only Live Twice as we speak.
