I'm gonna update my version. Just a little bit. I want to make this movie more relatable to today's audience.

 

I'm going to tighten up the storyline and create a plotline that is easier to follow. In the 70's and early 80's, it seems that many filmmakers skipped over the plot and storyline in their movies.

 

Instead, what they provided moviegoers was a snippet into the daily lives of the characters. Convoy, Urban Cowboy and Saturday night Fever are good examples of this style of filmmaking.

 

I actually enjoy this style of filmmaking, I don't see anything wrong with it. However, audiences today are too used to formulated and overcalculated plot lines. I don't think that the style of filmmaking I'm describing would be received well by today's audience.

 

I'm not out to fit in with what everyone else is doing. However, I do want people to watch and enjoy the movies I make. So I must meet movie audiences where they currently are today. Then I can bring them along with me to new and artistic approaches to making movies later on.

 

Besides, the content of this movie is such a drastic shift away from the crap Hollywood has been pumping out for decades. Me staying as true as possible to the original version of Convoy will be a big enough change.

 

Cause here's how I look at it.

 

Any movie that starts with a hillbilly screwin the Sheriff's wife, then more hillbillies beatin the crap outta some idiot deputies, continues with a multi state car chase and ends with those hillbillies winning the stupid game...

 

Now that's a one helluva damn good movie y'all.

 

And to quote a fellow outlaw, Kris Kristopherson, in the movie...

 

Piss on you and piss on your law.
