But today...
Pitch: "I wanna remake Gone With The Wind"
Exec: "I don't know..."
Pitch: "I'll have nothing to do with the original but be a great film, nonetheless"
Exec: "Sold!"

Pitch: "I have an idea to do a comic book movie -"
Exec: "Sold! We'll put our entire publicity machine behind it!"

Pitch: "I want to do a film about giant demonic bunny rabbits"
Exec: "Get out! Before I turn YOU into a rabbit!"
