After the box office success of Planet of the Apes, director Tim Burton needs script ideas for a sequel.
We’ve decided to help him out.
This month, we have assembled the finest script ideas we could think of while walking out of the cinema. Here they are.
- Planet of the Grapes – An astronaut lands on a planet populated by intelligent grapes, and discovers the only place in the universe where drinking a glass of wine means a sentence of death by over-watering.
- Planet of the Japes – Where every night is comedy night. (Likely to be the title of Lesley Neilsen’s parody version).
- Planet of the Snails – An astronaut lands on a planet populated by highly-evovled snails. The snails try to enslave him, but he simply walks away.
- Planet of the Tapes – An astronaut lands on a planet in the midst of the “Digital/Analogue Conversion Wars”.
- Planet of the Crepes – A planet populated by intelligent crepes. Stars newcomer Suzette Maplesyrup.
- Planet of the Dolphins – An astronaut lands on a planet ruled by highly-evolved dolphins, and drowns.
- Planet of the Capes – Where being a superhero isn’t normal, it’s expected.
- Planet of the Humans – A documentary.
- Planet of the Slugs – Just like Planet of the Snails but without the expensive armour costumes. Rated R.
- Planet of the Three-toed Sloths – An astronaut lands on a planet ruled by highly evolvled lazy three-toed sloths who sleep for up to 19 hours a day. Not much action, but great dream sequences.
- Planet of the Popes – A planet where there is no evolution or sex before marriage, but plenty of choir boys.
- Planet of the Drapes – Potentially Tim Burton’s darkest movie yet.
