\"Sherlock<\/a><\/p>\n

By Erin McInnis and Joe Pagetta<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Picture the scene. We\u2019re in London where there has been a rash of seemingly identical suicides. Or has there? \u00a0Wanting to reassure the community, Inspector Lestrade holds a press conference to release a statement and answer questions from the media. In true Holmes fashion, Sherlock e-blasts his opinion via text message to every reporter in the room. In a separate text to Lestrade, he announces his availability as a detective for hire. On the other side of town, Afghanistan war veteran Dr. John Watson is looking for a place to live while he recovers from his war wounds. Seeking a flatmate himself, Holmes zeroes in on Watson, gleaning an enormous amount of personal information about the doctor from a glance and feel of the doctor\u2019s cell phone. And when Watson wants to learn a little about Holmes, well, he does what anyone else would do: he consults the internet.<\/p>\n

Wait \u2026Text messages? \u00a0Cell Phones? \u00a0The Internet? \u00a0Welcome to a truly contemporary Sherlock Holmes. Fans of House<\/em>, The Mentalist<\/em> and Monk<\/em> — all shows indebted to Sherlock Holmes — will eat up Sherlock<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, the new Masterpiece Contemporary<\/strong><\/em><\/a> adaption of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle\u2019s beloved detective stories. \u00a0It\u2019s fast-paced in dialogue and plot twists, and utterly thrilling. The 3-part series premieres on Sunday, October 24 at 8 p.m. Central on NPT and PBS stations nationwide<\/strong>, but the previews have us thinking about what other literary characters and stories are ripe for a contemporary makeover. We put our heads together and came up with eight we felt are easily translatable to modern times, avoiding those stories that have been remade in recent years (Scarlet Letter\/Easy A<\/em>, Pride & Prejudice\/Bridget Jones\u2019 Diary<\/em>, Emma\/Clueless<\/em>, etc.).<\/p>\n

What do you think? Any stories you\u2019d like to see get a makeover?<\/p>\n

Are you friends with "Cy" on Facebook?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cyrano de Bergerac<\/strong><\/em> (Edmond Rostand)<\/p>\n

Admittedly, Steve Martin modernized Edmond Rostand\u2019s play quite successfully with the charming Roxane, but technological advances since make this tale of the big-nosed Romeo a must for modernization must. \u00a0Facebook, Match, eHarmony, MySpace, Linkedin, E-mail, text messaging \u2026 all of these, and more, make it possible to be someone else. \u00a0Because of his overly-large nose, Cy believes he is doomed to live life without the woman he loves, so he creates the perfect man for her, one with all of his own charm and wit and someone else\u2019s profile picture.<\/p>\n

Don Juan<\/strong><\/em> (first written version by Gabriel Tellez, aka Tirso de Molina, in the play El Burlador de Sevilla y convidado de piedra<\/em>)<\/p>\n

John Donovan is on the Wall Street fast track, but he\u2019s as obsessed with seducing the women of Wall Street as he is with making money. He\u2019s got all the contemporary tools of wealthy seduction. Armani suit? Check. He\u2019s got an iPad and an iPhone to show the pretty ladies his portfolio, and a Blackberry to send seductive text messages from across the office. He checks the time on his Rolex. \u00a0When he\u2019s not on the subway seducing the Bridge and Tunnelers, he rolls in a BMW 5 series. But this isn\u2019t only about seduction, it\u2019s also about money and power. When the president of a major bank dies suddenly from a heart attack, the news rocks Wall Street. The president\u2019s young, single daughter, and her inheritance, becomes Donovan\u2019s prime target.<\/p>\n

Quixote a delusional member of The Royal Family?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Don Quixote<\/strong><\/em> (Cervantes)<\/p>\n

Lonely and middle aged, Alonso spends his days in the Kensington area of London reading about the Royal family and longing for the life he doesn\u2019t have. He\u2019s obsessed. \u00a0So much so, that he believes he IS royalty. But just being a member of the family isn\u2019t enough. He must live up to the new example established by\u00a0 his beloved Princess Diana and her fight for social justice.\u00a0 Diana’s tragic death puts him over the edge and sends him into action. Delusional, he leaves his home, claiming to be a member of the Royal Family and looking to right wrongs, real and imagined, wherever he can. In his first quest, he comes across a woman, caged and naked outside a sporting arena. He sets to work freeing her in the name of women\u2019s equality, only to be arrested for the destruction of property and disturbing a peaceful PETA protest of the circus.\u00a0 It\u2019s only the beginning of a series of misguided quests. Shortly before embarking on his next quest,\u00a0 he discovers his neighbor Aldonza Lorenzo, who in his delusional and infatuated state, looks to Alonso exactly like Princess Diana. In fact, he thinks it might even be her come back to life!\u00a0 In a twist, he must now right wrongs and injustices in Diana’s name, but also do it to win her love!<\/p>\n

Jane Eyre<\/strong><\/em> (Charlotte Bronte)<\/p>\n

In search of adventure and a better life, Jane Eyre leaves her home country and finds employment as a nanny for wealthy single parent Ed Rochester. Though undocumented, she seems to have escaped the fate of many others in her position, and is not a victim of unpaid wages, uncompensated workplace injuries, or hazardous working conditions.. She lives comfortably, cares for two delightful children and has the love of her charming employer. She seems to have the world at her fingertips and has found her one true love. But there’s a madwoman in the attic.<\/p>\n

Nick and Nora Charles<\/strong><\/em> (created by Dashiell Hammett in The Thin Man<\/em>)<\/p>\n

Like Sherlock and Watson, Nick and Nora Charles (and their dog Asta) are easily malleable. \u00a0They are timeless characters, able to be placed in a variety of different times and situations (which explains their prolific life in film and television from the 1930\u2019s-1950\u2019s). \u00a0Nick, a former NYPD police detective, is now a private detective for the wealthy and married to socialite Nora. They frequently find themselves intertwined in the dark side of their glamorous lives, racing against the clock to solve just one more case.<\/p>\n

Oliver Twist<\/strong><\/em> (Charles Dickens)<\/p>\n

Oliver is born to a single mother in a gritty, gang-laden area of Mexico. His mother is killed shortly after the birth, in the crossfire of senseless drug war violence. Oliver winds up in an orphanage and care of the state. By the time he\u2019s ten, he\u2019s bouncing around foster care, and in one foster family, forced to work in a sweat shop making T-shirts to be shipped to the United States. The other children are brutal, but Oliver eventually escapes over the border and finds his way to Los Angeles, where he meets a few other runaways who introduce him to Fagin, a low-level drug dealer and pimp who enlists the services of young runaway boys and girls. Pretty soon, without much of an option, Oliver emerges on the streets of L.A. with a new moniker, TWIST.<\/p>\n

"Dora" Gray a hot Hollywood mess?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Picture of Dorian Gray<\/strong><\/em> (Oscar Wilde)<\/p>\n

In modern day Los Angeles, beauty and modeling is big business, but for photographer Basil Hallward, it\u2019s still about Art. He admires David LaChapelle and Helmut Newton, and in Dora Gray, he\u2019s found his subject and muse. The stunningly beautiful, but young and naive Gray sits for Hallward for hours at a time, and the results are the toast of the photography world and favorites of Gray herself. Hallward\u2019s friend Henry Wooten traverses the art world, and occasionally even patronizes Hallward, but his interest in art is more about the parties and the glamour than the art itself. He corrupts the young Gray, introducing her to a decadent life of parties and cocaine while telling her that her beauty will fade. He encourages her to live in the now. Pretty soon, she\u2019s famous for being famous, known less for her beauty in fashion spreads and more for her being sprawled out on sidewalks outside nightclubs. Gray becomes more and more obsessed each day by the paparazzi images of herself in the celebrity magazines. When she looks at the pictures, she sees the young, beautiful Gray she thinks she still is, but in the beloved original portraits by Hallward, her beauty is fading.<\/p>\n

Nemo an environmental extremist?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

<\/strong>20,000 Leagues Under the Sea<\/strong><\/em> (Jules Verne)<\/p>\n

The enigmatic misanthrope Captain Nemo is an extreme environmentalist waging his own private crusade against anyone destroying the deep oceans he calls home. Professor Peter Aronnax is hired by the government to document the investigation into a series of attacks on international shipping and oil rigs. Circumstances provide the means for Captain Nemo to bring the Professor, and two of his colleagues, on board his submarine, the Nautilus, as his prisoners. Influenced by his own desires, Nemo allows the Professor to continue his documentation. \u00a0A man so far ahead of his time that the majority of the world can only see him as a monster, the true purpose behind Captain Nemo\u2019s crusade, and his rise as a tragic hero, is filed away with the Professor\u2019s report after a yearlong world-wide undersea adventure. A perfect candidate for the pseudo-documentary style used in films such as Cloverfield<\/em> and District 9<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
