Missed Opportunities for SW in TV / Movies

The whole sequence with Nurse Ginger at the beginning at the movie is worth the price of admission in DMvDT.

Well I have not actually wrote any thing down yet. Not sure how to get you a copy. That said it would need many edits and revisions. I think the title could be "Mini Jupiter".

If you'd like, you can simply send me a rough summary, and I can adapt it into a script. That's always an option.

I can almost guarantee it would be rough. I over complicate things so it is hard for me to summarize.

If only they had the budget, it would have been even better.

Granted I've never attempted any kind of SW special effect, but I'd imagine using green screen to make Elvira look tiny would've been easier than superimposing her head onto a doll.

Attack of the Puppet People had some good practical effects for the time. But sadly limited in what could be done. The women look nice to say the least. Today they would use to much CGI and not enough practical effects. You could argue the same for Land of the Giants.

Sienna Guillory as Jill Valentine wouldn't mind shrinking her.

The first female victim in AOTPP had a great reaction when she wakes and sees the giant phone and realizes shes been shrunk. A great SW reaction can compensate for lack of effects.

Going back further, Devil Doll had good effects for the time, but I didnt like how the shrinking foam turned the shrinkee into an unaware zombie. Id rather have seen her commit the thievery in the movie as a bargain to get her size back.

Id love to see a remake with Morena Baccarin as a wife of a wealthy scientist who develops the shrinking foam.

Baccarin discovers her hubby is having an affair with a young blonde bimbo (Charlotte McKinney). Seeing a younger bustier threat to her gravy train, she uses the foam on McKinney. McKinney begs Baccarin to make her big again. Instead, McKinney is used to steal valuables for Baccarin to flee the country with and live in luxury in Aruba.

But, before she can slip away, Baccarin is found out, and gets doused with the foam. As the foam soaks into her skin, she lets out an epic "NOOOOOOO!!!!" as she shrinks into her clothes. She emerges, with the foam strategically covering her naughty bits, a mere four inches tall.

Sigh. There's never a like button around when you need one... :-)

I don't think there's any clip of it the remake online.

Sadly, that Devil Doll remake is only a figment of my imagination.

Yeah, if a remake of Devil Doll existed, showing Charlotte McKinney and Morena Baccarin shrinking out of their clothes, Id probably be MIA for about a month once its available to stream.

Sorry to get your hopes up.
