They should remake a much darker version.


The original screenplay was darker and a short from the Twilight Zone.

I believe a darker version would work, no happy endings.

wow, the twilight zone is mentioned all over this board, and i came here to suggest if you want a similar theme to check out the episode "a world of difference" in the 1959 tv series, but i see more people have noticed the similarity, all the time i realise major movies are based on episodes in that series. i'm not saying it's an identical story, by the end this guy steps into "reality", while the twilight zone story takes quite the different turn. when i was a kid i found truman's "show girlfriend" in this annoying, today i love watching her part, it's so over the top, also some people i was watching it with found truman's friend such a horrible guy playing truman all along as while watching the sundown scene.

in sleep you sneak through a dream,
worked your exotic magic in,
and set me in the mood,
opened the book,
filled in on what to do,
mornin turned my head and there were you.

I actually found this movie super dark in all of its cheery politeness. It's super cruel when you think about it.

Well he’s got Sylvia right? A beautiful and kindhearted woman who loves him. She’ll plug him into the social pipeline with her friends.
