Thoughts about remaking a film
I was looking for thoughts about remaking/reimagining an already established franchise film. I wrote a script that shares a lot of similarities with a particular Bond film. After noticing this, I am considering making the script a reimagining of the film. Not a scene for scene plot for plot remake, but very similar similar. It will share a lot of the plot and characters under a different setting. The script in question is a crime comedy in the vain of a Shane Black film. It will most definitely be recognized as having a shared plot by those who have seen both films.
I was wondering what the legalities are about this? Will I come under fire from the studios/owners of hypothetically this film blows up? It will 100% have my own style and not just be Bond with a different outfit.
Also has this been done before? I know there are similarities between Point Break and The Fast and the Furious but are there any other pair of films that are in essence the same film?
Thanks for any info.
