Localized Movies

MovieTom WalmaComment

Idea: To create multiple versions of the same movie, each one for a different geographic region (using that region as a green screen backdrop and using supporting actors from that region). There would be many versions of the same movie in the US (like maybe in Seattle, New York, Chicago, Las Vegas, Nashville) and a large percentage of the scenes would look totally different. Also: selling half-completed movies (with celebrities scenes and big action scenes completed) to other movie studios in other countries to complete making that country's version of the movie using local actors; telling award-winning actors to "act worse" because if their acting is too good it might make the acting of the local supporting actors unwatchable
