The franchise don't have to be a very popular show, it could be a famous book series, movie, or a famous video game. You are also can have a very comic book or manga. But anyway which franchise would you be the new owner of and how would you change the entire story. Remember you now officially own the product and have entire creative freedom to change it however you want to.
If somebody was giving you the complete right to a famous franchise and you could reboot it in anyway you saw fit, how would you reboot the franchise?

It’s hard to choose…
Maybe, the Halloween town movies? I feel like after they replaced the main actres Kimberly J. Brown things went down hill with the last movie they made.
Also, fantastic four could have been a great franchise but was released at a wrong time.
Fast and furious movies NEED TO STOP lmao they are great movies but they just keep making more and more and it’s getting ridiculous to the point where they’re running out of ideas I mean, cars in space? What? Anyways, the original plot of the fast and furious franchise was better. I wouldn’t remake them I would have just kept the original plots the same but add a bit more spice to it.
I think that’s about it. I had a bit of trouble trying to understand your question but hopefully this somewhat answered it.
A few horror movies. Halloween, chucky and nightmare on Elm street. All of the Killers are terrifying but the new movies that are being made are trash. They are using humor to entertain the audience and the script and story lines are lame and the filming angles and lighting is horrible. I wish I could write for them.
Years ago, well before Disney got involved, I was in a conversation online about how each of us would handle writing the Star Wars prequels. My response was "I don't know how it'd end, but I know the first three words I'd write: Dear Timothy Zahn". Frankly, you give me that franchise now and I guarantee you I'd do better than Disney did, if only because I'm not soulless, profit-obsessed, or hip-deep in lawyers. Also, I've read much of the EU (the good stuff, the lousy stuff, and the outright fantastic) and played most of the games (and considering how many there are, "most" is quite an accomplishment). Also, I've actually READ Joseph Campbell and Mercea Eliade, and have at least SOME understanding of the underlying universal story-cycle idea they were talking about. I doubt I'd do fantastic, given my total lack of moviemaking experience, but I couldn't do worse.
Speaking of a lack of experience torpedoing something good that involved Mark Hamill, give me Wing Commander. The series had a definitive ending in 4, then they decided to start up a "next generation" thing, and the game sold so well that Electronic Arts- ELECTRONIC ARTS- released the expansion for free. But the gaming world was going towards multiplayer, which Wing Commander didn't have (*Cough, cough*Armada!*Cough, cough*). But the last game (Prophecy) had some serious problems, and the movie was abysmal (despite being made by Chris Roberts, who made the games), and the franchise died with the rest of Origin.
And since probably half of your responses are going to be Star Wars, I'll take a much more liberal definition of "famous" and say Betrayal in Antara. In case you're not familiar- Betrayal at Krondor is fondly remembered, and rightfully so- based on Raymond Feist's Riftwar saga (which is a very stupid name, as the Riftwar ends in book 4, and they're up to THIRTY or so of them now), and was awesome. When the time came to make a sequel, they didn't have the rights, and couldn't get them, so they came up with another world. Betrayal in Antara wasn't as good as its older brother, and it was plagued by technical issues (to this day, whispering the title in my brother's ear will make him want to punch you), and worst of all, it ended on a cliffhanger. It didn't sell well enough to get a sequel, and the next game in the series (return to Krondor) sucked, which killed the franchise. But Antara had a juicy setting with lots of interesting stories that never got a chance to be told, and it grates on me.
As a kid of the 80s and 90s, back when there was such a thing as "Originality" (despite there also being a lot of suck amongst it all) I am personally sick and tired of all the fk'n reboots and remakes.
Every single time someone takes a classic and tries to reboot it to get a quick buck off nostalgia, it tanks, it sucks and is never as good as the original. There are very few exceptions to this rule. If there are any, they can be counted on one hand. And most of these are rebooted just for the sake of changing the gender, race or sexual orientation of the original characters and acting like they're being original and creative.
Remaster the originals, sure... Or extend the universe with sequels or something that takes place somewhere else with a whole new set of characters and events within that universe.
Take Star Trek as an example. There was a lot of crap flung around by fans when the Next Generation came out, but it and all the other series that came later found their place with the original series and expanded the universe. By the time Star Trek Enterprise came around, people were exhausted and needed a break.
Then JJ came along and "Rebooted" Star Trek with his movies. Fun action space romps, but have little to do with the Star Trek Universe and played fast and loose with the existing content. In the end, the reboot experiment failed after the third movie.
So they carried on with further expanding the universe instead, with Discovery, Picard, Prodigy, Strange New Worlds and eventually Section 31... All of which are not rebooting anything but adding to the existing Lore.
So if I had full ownership and control over any movie or show franchise, I wouldn't reboot.
I would take the original content, remaster it all, package it all up with behind the scenes stuff and interviews and redistribute. I would then look into new shows or movies to further expand and add to what's already great.
Want the franchise to be more progressive and less dated? Fine, leave the old characters the way they were and create new ones.
New and original characters can hold their own with the best of them. All you need is some creativity and think it through. The people behind all these shows and movies people are rebooting weren't some genius wizards.
Going back to JJ Abram's, he tried to reboot Star Trek and it fizzled out... But notice when he took over Star Wars that he instead carried on with the story and expanded the universe, rather than reboot?
There's a lot of things people complain about in the new movies, but at least the original movies were left intact and the overall Star Wars Universe isn't fractured.
Talk to most Star Trek fans and while many will say they liked the new movies, myself included, they are mostly split off from everything else in Star Trek and don't really matter in the grand scheme of things.
Ha, after all that, I forgot to pick the franchise I'd like to expand... Umm... Well Star Wars and Trek are well covered with plenty of content on the go now, so something else...
I'd expand on the Gremlins?
Goonies The Next Generation? (perhaps 3rd as most of the actors are close to grandparent age by now lol)
No idea, I'd prefer to try my luck on my own content than try and take over someone else's.
STAR WARS! Stand aside y'all I give you a trilogy worth of scaring the ever living shit out of you! The sith were scary af! and if you haven't read the books or listened to the audiobooks I'd highly advise you try them out. You'll see why so many star wars fans hate the new stuff. The best stories, characters, and overall writing was better in the old EU.
Can I choose the entire "Marvel Cinematic Universe"? If so, I'm picking that, and I'm just killing it dead. Enough already with those shitty movies - it needs to stop.
To be honest though, I can't think of *any* remake or reboot that wasn't utter shite. It makes me wish there was some kind of protected status for movies over 10 years old, so cynical movie studios can't taint the legacy of the original, just for the sake of making a quick buck by cashing in on people's nostalgia.
Only one franchise, it can't be every single Marvel characters that has ever existed. You can only choose one character or team? Because some superheroes and supervillains tend to be part of big teams.
I'd like to see a live action Sailor Moon. I'd make it take place when they're in the professional world as adults and they gotta fight evil by moonlight after long days of juggling work and family.
I don't know. Maybe a new direction. Instead of a mascot we will have a collection of famous historical figures. This way the kids might learn something.
Fun and educational can always be great for children with all of the crazy things these days bringing back classic literature wouldn't hurt the children.
Unfortunately I had to scrap a concept relationship due to there not being enough time for the two characters to even acknowledge each other’s existence. But it’s fine though, I did want her death to make people feel something but she’s barely in the ENTIRE series, so that’s probably not gonna happen. Maybe one human or two will think, “why would you kill off a cute girl?” Some people might also say I should have scrapped the 11+13 year old hook up instead of this sister x sister like relationship between Kavliaris and Sunako, but I don’t really care
One of the other characters which is introduced before her wants to help her with her since-birth depression. So he takes her to a place which he has talked to God before, and on the way there, they run into Arawn who’s searching for a someone who Willa be a future antagonist. He decides to join Sophos and Sunako to kill a Shrimpo while he’s at it. After a few minutes, the encounter Ekdosi and during the battle, Ekdosi slaps Sunako’s head off and eats her throat.
Eating peoples throats is the only way they can talk. I did wanna wait for a little for this to happen because Sophos’ sister is out exploring and she finds a cave with ancient paintings from early humans with Jahnazu and Ekdosi in one of them. Then people reading this can be like, “hey, that guy was teased earlier”
Nevermind! I found a solution to all my problems in terms of keeping OGV Sunako and her sibling-like relationship with Kavliaris. All I have to do is push back further the battle with Ekdosi so they have time to bond and so I have a reason for Kavliaris to battle so making her a transformation won’t be a waste
From what I've seen, the Sequel Trilogy was poor. There's COUNTLESS TV shows on the rise... Star Wars is being bled dry. It's all about the money, most likely.
Oh, same. In my head, I'll bet if Disney practically left Star Wars untouched, they would've gotten richer anyway, since revenue is super high... Even since the movies are years old!
