Due: 12/08, on the blog.
The assignment is simple: imagine that you are making a text from this class into a modern-day movie (and by modern day, we can say post 1985), aimed at making the text relevant for a contemporary audience. Explain where you would relocate the setting to (and don’t forget to explain why), and suggest casting ideas. The aim is to re-imagine the text, while staying true to your chosen piece of literature. You can tinker with minor aspects of your literary text, but you can’t change major parts of the book to fit the movie.
I’m interested in how creative you can be, and your thought process behind your project – this is supposed to be fun, so be as silly or outlandish as you like, as long as you offer up an honest rendering of the text you have chosen. No limit on length, and no specific formatting requirements.
