I would love to see the Coen brothers do a remake of Finding Nemo. Nemo would be caught in a net and his father would go looking for him, just like in the original. But the characters would all have Southern accents. Halfway through the movie Nemo's father and Dory would be unceremoniously eaten by sharks and the rest of the movie would just be people sad because they died. No one would ever find Nemo. The evil little girl with the braces would accidentally kill him and no one would even care. The movie would end with a voiceover by Tommy Lee Jones explaining that a giant oil spill killed off everyone else except for the bad guys, and that world is shit. The kids would love it.
Another movie I'd like to see the Coens remake is the Wizard of Oz. In this version, the Scarecrow, Tin Man and the Lion don't get what they want because the wizard has been dead all along. Furthermore, it turns out both witches Dorothy killed are good witches and that the other one (played by Jeff Bridges) is actually the evil witch. Right before brutally murdering everyone in Oz, she agrees to send Dorothy home just so she can see that the tornado killed everyone in her neighbourhood. Dorothy turns to Toto and asks "what did we learn?" Toto shrugs and replies "fucked if I know". The movie ends.
