Wayans Do The Munsters
White Chicks wasn't scary enough.
"August 24, 2004 - You just can't make this stuff up... Today's Hollywood Reporter tips that the Wayans brothers have signed with Universal Pictures to remake the 1960s TV show The Munsters into a contemporized feature film".
"The trade scoops that Keenen Ivory, Marlon and Shawn Wayans will write the screenplay as well as produce along with Rick Alvarez. There is a possibility that Keenen Ivory Wayans would direct the film, but no deal will be made until a script is completed."
"The Wayans version will reportedly "stay true to the original characters, but will place them in a contemporary setting."
"THR's sources claim that the Wayans came up with the idea for a Munsters movie while filming White Chicks. Coincidentally, says the trade, Universal was poised to dust off the property, so the brothers pitched their take to the studio and a deal was made."
"The Munsters originally aired on CBS from 1964-66. The show followed the odd but friendly Munster family, headed by father Herman (a ringer for Frankenstein's monster), who could never understand why people reacted to them strangely."
- Brian Linder
If they do get to make the movie I just hope that it is good. I love the Munsters and I don't want them to fuck it up.
