CREATIVE WORKOUT:
We’ve all got favourite films that we love to shout about. But, if two films were smashed together – what would the end result look like?
Here’s your chance to create your own blockbuster in just 3 simple steps:
Step 1: Pick two films you know well
Head to the DVD shelf (if you’ve still got one!), scroll through Netflix, or just pick two favourites from memory. Go for anything – classics, cult hits, or guilty pleasures.
Step 2: Break them down to their essentials
Think characters, plot twists, locations, or iconic scenes. What stands out? What makes each one unforgettable?
Step 3: Mash them together
Now combine them into a brand-new cinematic creation. Mix and match characters, swap settings, or invent wild new storylines. You can go full-on surreal or aim for a box office smash!
Bonus challenge:
Give your new film a name, tagline, or even a poster concept. Lights, camera, imagination!
Here’s one to get you started. But what movies have we merged?
When Andy logs onto a mysterious VR game, his childhood toys awaken to a shocking reality: they’ve been living inside a simulation controlled by the evil Emperor Zurg. Woody, now ‘The One,’ must team up with Buzz (a battle-worn resistance leader) and a hacker army of misfit toys to free their world from digital enslavement.
