Miller (Teen Witch Dramatc Remake - TV Series)

Think of it as a mashup of The Vampire Diaries mixed with Teen Wolf with a sprinkle of Riverdale. Renamed Miller, as to not pigeonhole the series on just the teen years of the characters. I also change character names as I like, but leave original names attached for ease of casting.

The Nine Lives of Chloe King (reboot/remake)

All Hallow's eve turns into a real horror movie but with a twist that both the ghosts and the tourists experience personal catharses which improve their individual situations.

The Vampire Diaries Universe (Alternate Early 2000s Edition)

I saw that some of the other versions like this didn't allow contributions so here's one where you can add your picks.

Higher Ground (Remake)

Higher Ground was an American-Canadian drama television series created by Michael Braverman and Matthew Hastings. The series follows a group of troubled and abused high schoolers at a therapeutic boarding school in the Pacific Northwest as they navigate adolescence in the aftermath of their home troubles.

Rydell (Non Musical reimagining of Grease)

My pitch is a dramatic NON MUSICAL version of Grease One and Two. Like if you took Riverdale (without the crappy music episodes) and Sons of Anarchy and threw them into a blender. I like the original films for what they are but this would be a different spin on the characters. I'd merge both movies so there would be a range of characters.

Marie Laveau (Biopic)

Marie Catherine Laveau (September 10, 1801 – June 15, 1881) was a Louisiana Creole practitioner of Voodoo, herbalist, and midwife who was renowned in New Orleans. Her daughter, Marie Laveau II, (1827–c. 1862) also practiced rootwork, conjure, Native American and African spiritualism as well as Louisiana Voodoo. An alternate spelling of her name, Laveaux, is considered by historians to be from the original French spelling. Laveau’s powers reportedly included healing the sick, extending altruistic gifts to the poor, and overseeing spiritual rites.

It is a film adaptation of Howard's Conan novel The Hour of the Dragon, with the protagonist changed to the author's other barbarian hero Kull.
