TWISTED TALES; little red riding hood
I’d assume this story would be a little more gory and dark, due to the aged up character. I just love her very much so. Twisted Tales is a series of photosets depicting POC fancasts of fairytales that are traditionally cast as not-POC. Featuring: America Ferrera as Little Red Riding Hood Diahann Carroll as the Grandmother Manu Bennett as the Wolf Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as the Huntsman Red Riding Hood, however, quickly fetched great stones with which they filled the wolf’s belly, and when he awoke, he wanted to run away, but the stones were so heavy that he collapsed at once, and fell dead.

RACEBENT ROMCOMS; you’ve got mail
There are problematic elements to this movie, but it’s still a classic. Switch it up and turn it around, and you could get a heck of a remake! Racebent Romcoms has me taking existing Hollywood romantic comedies (and romances), and recasting them for the modern day with a more diverse cast. Featuring Jamie Chung as Jo(e) Fox and Ricky Whittle as Kevin (Kathleen) Kelly. “So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book, when shouldn’t it be the other way around? I don’t really want an answer. I just want to send this cosmic question out into the void.”

TWISTED TALES; alice in wonderland
I am pretty certain people aren’t going to get my casting, especially since my Alice is much older than she is in the books. But the thought of Mindy as Alice! Headcanon that Naya as the Queen Of Hearts, who is gorgeous and immortal because she uses the hearts of her subjects to keep herself young.
