REMAKE

RIGHT TIME, RIGHT PLACE, RIGHT REASONS

It's a kids book, but people my age (19) and older remember it too. Books like theses are timeless. Kids got into books because of HP, why not get kids back into the MET, AMNH, MoaM, and all muesuesm that teach you something. And who doesn't love run away stories? Atleast without any creepy rapist guy.

NYC Films love movies involing NYC. Shutting the MET down for awhile, wouldn't be a problem. And it would bring people in. What did Night at the Muesuem do for AMNH? Hmm? I love both, and I would like to see the Met in a movie again.

Most movies now a days are crap, mostly because of remakes. But this could be done fresh, new and could address the kids today, but not loose some of it's fun charm. Think Nancy Drew, but 500 times better.

If anyone with any script writing abilities see this, please...remake this movie. And if it would bomb, atleast you'd have 1 loyal fan.

A plee. Think about it.
