And then he called back and said, 'Well, you could really do whatever you wanted.' [...]" Aside from a projected release date – the summer of 2001 – there were, he said, "zero parameters. That was the fun thing about it. 'Don't read any of the earlier scripts. Don't feel limited by the [[Film/PlanetOfTheApes1968 previous series]]. Just follow your imagination.' It was a completely blank slate." At one point, Broyles called Rothman, demonstrating the extent of his departure from previous versions with a single question: "Does it have to be apes?"

17	->''"''Thief'' is a reboot of a series in which a bloke steals money from people with too much disposable income because he doesn't feel like putting in any effort into working for a living, so it's good to see the creators of this new one taking ''that'' attitude on board, if nothing else."''

25	->''"They ''are'' adaptations, just not in the literal, pedestrian sense. I adapt essence. I've been told that ''{{Theatre/Othello}}'' is a moorish captain, but in my mind he's a magical talking cello with a lisp. Who is right? ''Is'' there a right? For that matter, is there a ''left''?"''

28	->''even as we speak there is probably someone out there writing a delightful 100k+ word gay romance novel about a genderqueer bisexual single parent who lives in a beach town and fixes classic cars and falls in love with the sexy tentacle monster mermaid that saved their life, and that writer could probably make pretty good money self-publishing it, but they won't because that would mean admitting that they aren't really writing destiel anymore''

31	->A few rewrites later, very little of the original screenplay remained. Today, ''[[Film/RobinHood2010 Nottingham]]'' is a cautionary tale for every young, aspiring screenwriter out there. It doesn't matter what you write: [[Creator/RidleyScott the director]] and [[Creator/RussellCrowe the star]] will decide what makes it onto the screen.

36	->''"So, let's just recap: [[AdaptationNameChange Dr. Claw isn't called Dr. Claw]], he doesn't own a terrorist organization called MAD, he sounds less like a monster and [[HamAndCheese more like a fashion critic]], and the fact that you never see him in the show is being replaced with SEEING HIM ALL THE TIME!"''

39	->''"We all had our shows that [[MerchandiseDriven only existed to sell toys]], I had mine, you had yours, and that's fine, but there's a definite audience that grew up with this, and while I know there has to be changes when adapting the show to film... Say what you want about ''Film/{{Transformers\|2007}}'', but it had Transformers! This has no Jem, and they're strangely proud of that!"''

42	->''"And finally, the new recruit, Gambit, who, [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer I'm not joking]], is Gambit in name only. Because he doesn't look like Gambit, he doesn't have Gambit’s powers, he doesn't have Gambit's backstory, SO WHY DID YOU CALL HIM GAMBIT?!"''

48	->''"Here are some of the departures in Creator/RidleyScott's [[Film/RobinHood2010 2010 Robin Hood]]: Robin Hood is not called Robin Hood, he's also not actually Robin of Locksley, there's no Sheriff of Nottingham, Robin Hood is not an outlaw, he actually fights alongside Prince John, who is not a villain, Robin doesn't live in Sherwood Forest, and instead of stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, he fights with the English army against French invaders. Basically, other than being about a guy named Robin who uses a bow and arrow, it bears no resemblance to any previous version of Robin Hood. If you look at the original trailer, you'd never guess it was a Robin Hood movie until the title appears at the end, which seems like a problem. In the final five minutes of the movie, Robin Hood is declared an outlaw and moves to Sherwood Forest, thus setting up the classic status quo for [[StillbornFranchise a sequel that never happened]]. It's two and a half hours to finally get to the thing we recognize!"''
