"BLANK Begins"

[benheck]

It seems the new trend in ever-oh-so-creative Hollywood is to make movies based off how characters and franchises "began" No matter how dead a genre or franchise might be, people obviously want to know how it began.

We had Batman Begins, Exorcist: The Beginning, now there's Texas Chainsaw Massacre Begins (not the actual title) Hannibal Lector Begins (yes, ANOTHER Lector flick for crying out loud) and God knows what else is in the pipeline. Isn't Magneto Begins (as in X-Men) being considered?

So I put it to you guys - what would be some funny, lame, or interesting "Begins" films? Whose origins do we really want to see?

Have fun, go nuts! This should be fun.

My samples:

"ABBA Begins" - Fighting their way out of Nazi-occupied Europe, this courageous band finds its way to America and the discos of the world.

"Mario Begins" - See Mario in college as he pays tuition by cleaning out sewer pipes and doing odd jobs around campus. Co-starring Toad as a once-brilliant scientist turned mushroom.

"Bill Gates Begins" - See "Pirates of Silicon Valley"

We need to have Star Wars begins, not sure where you'd start, but oh well.

I'd say the "The Blue Man Group" . See them stuggle through life being different, until they beganto bang on pipes, and be in commercials.

I'd like to see how gilligan's island begins--sure it fits into a catchy 2-minute song, but I think it would make a swell feature length movie...again

the Da vinci code begins - See Passion of the Christ

Star trek begins - See NASA

Toy Story Begins - Watch a bunch of toys be made in a factory until their inevitably hilarious realisation(sp?) that they've in boxes

I beleve that there are books that cover this, a lot of books.

I've noticed video games do it a lot, too. The Legend of Zelda does it, but nobody (even the makers) knows what order!

HALO Begins -Seeing Master Cheif as a child, and killing stupid teachers

Proper format:

BLANK Begins - description

The title is the part that makes it funny.

I have some more:

Yoko Ono Begins - See a young peasant girl rise up from obscurity and single-handedly destroy the world's greatest band.

Patton Begins - Watch a young Patton fight blow away donkeys and fight "the hun"

Jack Thompson Begins - The thrilling story of a young man who gets his ass kicked playing Tank II at an arcade in 1975, and thus "begins" a lifelong quest to destroy the industry.

Uwe Boll Begins - Everyone's favorite German version of Ed Wood dreams as a young boy to scam investors and make nothing but videogame movies starring Christian Slater.
