Movie Prompt

I will be remaking "the Veldt" into a full motion picture. This short story captured my attention at the very beginning and kept a tight grip on it all the way until the surprise ending and I believe it will do the same to movie go-ers. In order to reach the required length I will be adding in several scenes and possible characters to the mix.

My first change would be to change the setting to Rural upstate New York (not in New York City) so that I can show that the wealthy family that bought this house wanted to be isolated away from the constant interaction you deal with when living in a big city. I would also make the father a man who had acquired his money through working his way up from a law student to environmental lawyer to head of the environmental agency to show his general distrust of mans progression technologically and have that be part of the constant conflict (Father vs the House)
