A edgy movie about a teen witch?

How can it be rebooted on the big screen, if it never booted the first time?

/what is the sound of one hand fapping?
//why do they call them 'buildings' when they're complete? we should call them 'builts!'

So, exactly when did Hollywood run out of new ideas and have to start remaking everything?

And how long until the Dark, Edgy, rastafied by 10% Manimal and Supertrain reboots? And hey, since Glee and Smash are successful, where's Cop Rock 2012?

About 1933 or so. Then they cut it out for a while until the 80s, then it started escalating again.

For instance, there are like 12 Wizard of Oz movies.

That's if we're lucky. Hollywood knows they can just release every marginally popular film in 3D and make a killing off of it.

"Edgy" is Hollywood-speak for "we have no idea how to do something that is
truly original or creative".

Mark Harmon doesn't strike me as Superman.

Beside the fact that Gibbs is Batman, Harmon's voice would lend itself to Batman much better than Superman.

I could see something like this working, though it is a bit hard to avoid any Harry Potter tropes. Actually, pretty hard to.

(I liked the show when I was 12, but then again what 12 year old has taste.)

You could have her living a normal life with her parents, not knowing she is a witch, as her parents want to keep up normal appearances as they are in hiding from some bad warlock who the parents pissed off. Parents get murdered, she is shipped to live with her two sexy blonde aunts, who have a sassy cat (no cgi on the cat. Puppet all the way).

Then make the rest of the movie the cat wisecracking.
 
2012-04-12 07:03:02 AM
Hey great, another origin story. It's like no one can write anything other than a by-the-numbers hero's journey and I wonder if the audience could actually handle it if someone did.

"While the tone of the movie will be edgier, they are keeping her talking black cat Salem, who here is a transformed prince creating unique love stories for Sabrina."

She was cute way back in Clarissa, but she was never sexy.
 
2012-04-12 08:47:14 AM
Both her aunts gets stabbed through the head with pitchforks by the lynch mob consisting of teachers and students from school. She is betrayed by her boyfriend, who's the school jock. But just before she gets gang raped by her boyfriend's football team, he takes pity on her so he burns her alive so that she doesn't get raped.

And they lived happily ever after.

THE END

Say about the 1950's; but they've gone up in volume in the last 25 years.

And how long until the Dark, Edgy, rastafied by 10% Manimal and Supertrain reboots? And hey, since Glee and Smash are successful, where's Cop Rock 2012?

I'm guessing since WB/DC owns the rights to Zatanna and Marvel is in no way going to part with the rights to Dr. Strange, Sony went for option C.

If they can't get Nick Bakay to be the voice of Salem, don't even bother with it.

I was waiting for this. Every time someone mentions the lazy eye I think they must have looked really hard to find something to hate her for. Kinda like Megan Fox's "toe thumbs".

Maybe she uses her powers to trick the football team into raping her betraying boyfriend. Turn off the spell the next day when the video they made gang raping their team mate is found by a teacher. When you have powers why would you ever get burned at the stake?

And there are some foreigners like Balki who control the building and take everyone hostage. And the guy from Boy Meets World has grown up and is a cop and is in town to visit his wife, who works at the tower.

And he like kills all the Balki guys, and there are some major explosions.
