More Updated Literary Classics

The subject of my last post has inspired me to come up with other ways to update classic literature. After all, what was great yesterday is often boring today. These are some of my ideas for new versions of old books. If they get made, I expect royalties.

 

Oliver Twist versus the Nazis

By Charles Dickens and Philip Roth

The touching story of a Victorian-age orphan sabotaging Hitler's secret plan of using time-travel to win World War II before it began.

 

The Call of the Cujo

By Jack London and Stephen King

The vicious man-eating dog is kidnapped and taken into the Yukon, where he kills his entire team and two Eskimo villages before becoming the leader of a pack of wolves.

 

Frankenstein meets Abbott and Costello

Wait, that's been done.

 

The Tragedy of Macbeth and the 101 Dalmatians

Out damn'd spot!
