I would
like film studios to make more movies about "The Mask". Each movie would star a different protagonist
who encounters the mask and goes on an adventure.
The
beginning of each movie would show each character's personal plight, they are
angry, put upon, down on their luck, repressed, or just somewhat cruel. The mask then enters their life and causes
their deep seated desires to rise to the surface, warping reality and making
them act as murderers, heroes, sex maniacs, or whatever.
At the end
of the movie they either grow as a person, which causes the mask to pass to the
next owner, having allowed the owner to have grown and changed for the
experience, or the possessor dies a victim of the internal evils that the mask
brought to the surface. Sort of like
"Silent Hill" but mobile, personal, and interacting with the real
world rather than just the town itself.
This would
actually make it closer to the original comic in execution which was about the
mask passing from owner to owner turning most into violent cartoonish monsters.
Either way
it would save a great deal on casting, would allow for varying levels of horror
and comedy (like "Nightmare on Elm Street"), and grant the sort of
creative freedom with limits that encourages good story telling.
Very Different Tones could be played. |
