Telegu Remake Of Jurassic Park Underway
Steven
Spielberg's smash hit dinosaur flick "Jurassic
Park" is the latest victim of the Telugu film industry's remake
factory. The blockbuster special-effects extravaganza is being
re-made for a Telugu audience, and the
script will undergo some modification to appeal to the
discerning Telugu movie go-er.
"What is there in Spielberg or George Lucas?
They make good films, but our film will be better
than the original. We are using Indian
values to add some interest value." said someone named
Rao.
Reports reveal that the
main story line will involve a dinosaur
whose mother is kidnapped by smugglers. The dinosaur then sets
off on a long journey to rescue her, discovers that
the kidnappers had killed his father over
the issue of some merchandising rights,
and gets his revenge by
blowing up a few helicopters. On the way,
he meets and falls in love with a girl dinosaur
with big breasts and
garish clothes, and marries her at the end
of the film. Efforts are on to design a dinosaur
with a moustache, as this is essential for
a hero to be successful in Telugu.
There will also be some spectacular song and
fight sequences, including a group dance atop the
Eiffel
tower, and a brutal fistfight
involving some fruit carts and
an eagle.
"What is the use of
brown dinosaurs? So boring. We are going to have
more
colorful dinosaurs
- probably pink,
lime-green and royal purple, "said
someone named Reddy. When asked if they
might also be candy-striped or
polka-dotted, he angrily retorted "What?
Are you crazy? How can dinosaurs have patterns?"
The film is tentatively titled
"Jurassic Alludu", but producers are also
toying with alternatives like "Bobbili Dino"
and "T-Rex No.1."
