Plots For Direct-To-DVD Sequels To 'Grease,' 'Bad News Bears,' 'Naked Gun,' More Revealed
"Road Trip"
"Well, I am in preproduction right now, so I have a script that I am comfortable with, hired my director and set up my operation," Feola said. " 'Road Trip 2' will take place against the world of beer pong, which I think is a very topical subject for our TV audience."
"Naked Gun"
“ ‘Naked Gun’ is about corruption in the city," Feola said. "A new [younger] police squad is being formed to battle the corruption."
"Bad News Bears"
“ ‘Bad News Bears’ is set against the world of soccer," he said.
"Grease"
No story details are available just yet, but Feola promised it'll be a musical where the songs function as an integral part of the plot.
"It's a little tricky," he said. "I have a background in animation and I have done a lot of stories in animation where the songs drive the plot line. That's a really tricky writing assignment, so ideally you would have a script writer who is also a songwriter, because it's not just a song during the movie -- it's a song that drives the plot line. That's the way we are envisioning it."
"Mean Girls" is too early in development for him to be able to offer up even a logline, Feola said.
As he reaffirmed in our chat, Paramount Famous aims to release five to six of these movies a year. So since they come from old company properties, is there any film he views as untouchable? Two, actually, Feola said.
" 'The Godfather' and 'Top Gun.' "
