Welcome to Just About: The Director's Cut, a bounty idea put forward by Sturmer in our last suggest-a-bounty bounty. Sturmer gave clear instructions, so we'll pass over to him to explain:

"Entrants are invited to take a well-known film or TV series and describe how they would alter it if they were the director. This could involve changing the plot, adding a twist, altering character arcs, or even creating an alternative ending. The challenge is to maintain the essence of the original while introducing a significant change that would alter the viewer’s experience."

"Submissions can be in the form of a written synopsis, a video pitch (like a director explaining their vision), or a series of storyboard sketches. Participants should explain their choices and how these changes would impact the overall story or message of the film or TV episode.

"Here are some examples:

1. Reimagining a romantic comedy with a different pairing.

2. Adding a science fiction element to a historical drama.

3. Creating an unexpected plot twist in a famous thriller."

Try to avoid spoilers, but if they're unavoidable, use the spoiler box. We're looking for longer submissions for this bounty. Aim for at least 100 words.
