Dead Man’s Wire (1996)

The coen brothers would do a great job with this. a down on his luck guy who blames everyone for his failures, and cooks up a scheme to blackmail the bank to get the money he thinks they owe him. -the weapon of choice is bizarre, and it seems genius in idea but is very impractical in action. -how Tony was essentially parading Richard hall around town as everyone had to stand around and watch. Could amplify it by having them do mundane activities at mundane places they go to and have crowd chatter about mundane stuff. Plus I would make it an unorthodox buddy movie where the dialogue between hall and Kirisus makes it. And the core idea is “is it really a hostage situation if everyone is calm about it?” -the anticlimactic ending where after all the buildup, Hall is freed and Kirisis is arrested. Kirisis also thinks he won but he didn’t. Also look at the coin scene in no country for old men. They could have the same level of tension where the gun can go off anytime, but still have the kind of awkward conversations.

A scandal in Bohemia

My detective literature class had an assignment where we Fancast and imagined modern versions of a scandal in Bohemia adaptation. Here’s what the cast looks like.

Another Suicide Squad

Inspired by Firebird storyline. The team is sent into China to extract a political prisoner. However,they have to deal with the problem of the Chinese army. So they have a diversion team. Smaller team that has actual jobs. The majority of the team act as a diversion if the army gets near.

Small town Sins

In a small Pennsylvania town. A volunteer firefighter finds a bag of money in a burning house. A nurse is asked by a cancer patient to take her to the beach, even without approval. A ex-addict who’s lost the will to live after a family tragedy that caps off a long list of bad things in his life finds a new purpose-track down and kill a predator in the community. Their stories intersect.

One magnificent Bird

The Maltese falcon is ripe for a Coen brothers take. It would lean into the “straight faced absurdity” of the characters, the complex weaving narrative, the ending where all the chaos and hunting were for nothing fits perfectly, the Flitcraft Parable would absolutely be included and parodied-meaningful sounding meaningless and fate themes are popular in their stories. My idea is like how the big Lebowski riffed on Chandler, this movie would riff on Hammond.
