Well, you don't need that folks. All you need is what you got - a lot of creativity. So get those juices flowing!
If you already have an idea for what you would like to contribute shoot us an email or leave a comment in the box below between now and October 1 and we'll add your topic to the Master List. Remember, you are not limited to one film idea. If you would like to create a musical, a drama, a mystery, a horror film AND an ultra cheesy B film, go right ahead!
Can you change your mind? Certainly. Write about whatever you want, we're not fussy people.
Interested in joining?
All are welcome right up until the day the blogathon starts... if you want to join after it begins, you can do so too. If you want to join us after it ends - sorry, tough luck there. Unlike other blogathons you don't have to be concerned about the film of your choice being "taken" because there are no films to be took!
Still puzzled on what this is all about? Check out our sample posts :
The Original Harry Potter ( 1938 )
The Missing Miss Marple Film
You can read more about what the blogathon is about from our original post.

We just jumbled everyone up into these days, but if you have a preference on when you would like to post, let us know.
We are so pleased with the turnout so far and can't wait to read about all the fantastic film ideas everyone can conceive!
On the day of the blogathon keep a lookout for the "People's Choice Poll" on our sidebar. Here is where you can vote for your favorite Imaginary Film idea based on the entries we have received.
Okay, that's all for now....bring out your movie-making machine, turn a knob here and there, add that extra special ingredient if need be, throw in some lightning, and a dash of discovery - play the mad scientist and create your dream film. But please, don't go overboard....what would the neighbors think?
I think this is a terrific idea for a blogathon, and I'm quite excited to be a part of it.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for organizing it.
We're excited about it too, and thank you for joining in on the event!
DeleteI'm absolutely doing the film noir Hamlet -- it's called "Murder Most Foul" and should have been made in 1943. I have most of it written already :-D So I'm nixing the Snow White adaptation, saving that idea for another time, okay?
ReplyDeleteThat's a-okay! We got that all fixed, thank you for letting us know and that Hamlet idea sounds absolutely delicious...can't wait to read about it!
DeleteWould it be okay to sign up for one more at this late date? I've had a smashing idea for casting a 1956 version of The Avengers, and would love to do a post about it for this on Thursday.
DeleteFantastic! You sure can...are you referring to the superheroes The Avengers, or the crime-fighting duo ( Steed & Mrs. Peel )? Either way, a film should have been made about them in the 1950s. :-)
DeleteHaha! I forget about the crime-fighting duo so often. I meant the superheroes. Take the script for the 2012 movie back 56 years and recast :-)
DeleteHi! I'd like to turn myself into a scfreenwriter / producer creating a 1934 naughty gangster film / musical. Let's see how it turns out.
ReplyDeleteKisses!
Le from Critica Retro.
Oooh-la-la...good thing the Hayes code wasn't as strict then as they were in the coming decade. Sounds like fun!
DeleteThis was great fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity!
Just one question - why is Scriblings' fine "Marlowe" write-up (Day 3) not available for voting?
