Steven Spielberg's smash hit dinosaur flick "Jurassic Park" is the latest victim
of the Telugu film industry's remake factory. The blockbuster special-effects
extravaganza is being re-made for a Telugu audience, and the script will undergo
some modification to appeal to the discerning Telugu movie go-er.
"What is there in Spielberg or George Lucas? They make good films, but our film
will be better than the original. We are using Indian values to add some interest
value." said someone named Rao.
Reports reveal that the main story line will involve a dinosaur whose mother is
kidnapped by smugglers. The dinosaur then sets off on a long journey to rescue
her, discovers that the kidnappers had killed his father over the issue of some
merchandising rights, and gets his revenge by blowing up a few helicopters. On
the way, he meets and falls in love with a girl dinosaur with big breasts and
garish clothes, and marries her at the end of the film. Efforts are on to design
a dinosaur with a moustache, as this is essential for a hero to be successful in
Telugu.
There will also be some spectacular song and fight sequences, including a group
dance atop the Eiffel tower, and a brutal fistfight involving some fruit carts
and an eagle.
"What is the use of brown dinosaurs? So boring. We are going to have more
colorful dinosaurs - probably pink, lime-green and royal purple, "said someone
named Reddy. When asked if they might also be candy-striped or polka-dotted,
he angrily retorted "What? Are you crazy? How can dinosaurs have patterns?"
The film is tentatively titled "Jurassic Alludu", but producers are also toying
with alternatives like "Bobbili Dino" and "T-Rex No.1."
