Possible Idea's for a remake
Just finished watching this 80's nugget of nostalgia. Got me thinking about a premise for a remake. Actually a pretty easy one.
We all know that hip hop is the new heavy metal. It's the new music that responsible parents wouldn't want their innocent children listening to (even though they do). Enter an "Illuminati" spin-off. Now, I don't think using that name directly would be a good idea, but using a similar type of cultish group would.
The story centers around a rap group and a leaked album about "The dark masters", who will be credited as the inspiration for the Illuminati (to make it real world), who went missing/died/committed suicide after their album was leaked. What will make this thing really interesting is that the leaked album will be distributed through a chan site, like 4 chan, or 8 chan to keep things underground and legit.
Prior to anything happening in the story, we will see internet arguments over the legitimacy of the material, most calling it BS and a publicity stunt while some believe it could be the real deal.
This is where the story begins. The story is more or less exactly the same with a few changes. Instead of a cosmic alignment, the alignment will be based on a prophesy made within the album, based on some obscure satanic/ancient alien book (I own books like these, they are common). Weird things start happening to the entire family, and nobody knows what's going on until the friend starts cluing on the rituals that are taking place. There is actually potential here to make this more of a global thing than limited to a single family. Maybe anyone who listened to the album starts experiencing these things.
Now, I'm not a writer so this is just a general idea and I think with talented writers it could really work!
Anyone else have ideas for a remake?
