Create Your Own Movie Blockbuster
Here’s a creative writing exercise for you. Combine two movies you’d never associate with one another into one new blockbuster.
Examples:
Iron Music Man
A combo of The Music Man (1962) and Iron Man (2008)
A billionaire genius, Professor Harold Stark, invents an indestructible suit of armor made from the brass of 76 trombones. Professor Stark dons the suit, transforms into a superhero, and saves the world by breaking into song at unexpected moments.
It’s a Wonderful Matrix
A combo of It’s a Wonderful Life (1946) and The Matrix (1999)
George Bailey and Neo switch places to see what life would be like in each other’s worlds. Neo fights Mr. Potter in a Kung Fu duel to the death, and George sets everyone in the matrix free-and gets Clarence his wings-by becoming friends with all the machines.
Your turn!
List the title of your movie, the movies it originated from, and a 1-2 sentence plot summary.
