Maybe it’s just me; but I’d love a Reality TV show where veteran directors remake the public domain / cheaper rights MST3K movies.

Limited budget & shoot and no script rewrites.

I mean, who should tackle ‘Manos! Hands of Fate’ ?

Steven Spielberg's "The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!?"

Mad Max is the exception. The script, on paper, is remarkably sparse. But George Miller’s vision made the movie somewhat enjoyable.

What Kurosawa didn't know about filmmaking really isn't worth a rat's arse. An absolute legend.

That’s probably a good rule, but I’ve definitely seen examples of style dragging a movie over the finish line.

They can if they ignore the script on the day… But some producers are touchy about that.
