In the spirit of Hollywood's tendency to strip-mine itself, I present my pitch for the next mega-million-dollar franchise:
A shot-for-shot, line-for-line remake of the John Wick series, altered only as needed to support one key change - the dog, rather than John, is the protagonist.
After John's death, the dog becomes anthropomorphic. This occurs out of frame. No explanation is ever given. Before John gets dropped, it's a dog. After John gets dropped, it's a dog with opposable thumbs, upright locomotion, and human speech.
Everyone recognizes the dog as John's dog. Everyone knows it's an anthropomorphic dog. No one comments on the sheer fucking incongruous oddity of this.
The dog inherits all of John's standing at The Continental and throughout the society of assassins. Everyone accepts this as a completely normal occurrence, too.
There are no other anthropomorphic animals in the film. Only the dog.
The dog is, of course, voiced by Keanu Reeves.
One good boy in a world full of horrible people.
