Romeo – Juliet & a Sequel
Film and sequel have become a synonym now. You acquire the rights of the Title and then just add I, II, III….. Being a student of English literature, one of my favorite play is Romeo and Juliet. Maybe because it’s everyone’s fantasy to die with one’s lover , a sign of ultimate love. But imagine if we had a sequel of Romeo and Juliet? With a totally different ending. What would that be! Romeo & Juliet disowned by their families, travel across modern England in their Caravan. Romeo runs a mobile restaurant and becomes addicted to online poker while Juliet gets entangled in a royal affair. Simple stories and relationships are harder now because conversations become texting, arguments become phone calls and feelings become status update. And #writers end up taking dictations to add layer after layers to their structure and complex plot points.
