Christmas reboot

To continue the Hollywood tradition of reboots, Christmas movies should be rebooted too. Combine How the Grinch stole Christmas, Scrooge, and the traditional American Santa Claus together to create a super dark-toned reboot of the Christmas movie tradition. You do that- then you have one hell of a Christmas movie!

In a small town, men dress up in white clothes with masks on, to hide their identities, before giving their children some gifts. Single fathers must wear red and white for some reason. And they must go down a chimney before giving the presents. But they all must do this: Make kids believe that they are Santa Claus.

Some guy named Nick is the only single father in town.

Meanwhile, a few miles away, Ebenezer Scrooge is bitter and fed up with Christmas.  He developed a severe case of leprosy, severely altering his physical appearance. Scrooge knows that the town will quarantine him if they find out about his disease. Or possibly lynch him.

To avoid this issue, he has gone as far as painting his own skin green to hide his illness, lives in seclusion, and wears a lot of fur to protect his skin.

Scrooge goes through his family album and is saddened by pictures of his deceased children. The thought of people being happy with their families during the Christmas holiday pisses him off. He goes off into the town, hoping to infect many people as possible.

Nick, creative guy that he is, replaces the reindeer with a tank and a cannon (to shoot with) attached to it. He built it himself many years ago when his wife died.

As Scrooge infects people, the mayor learns of the leprosy outbreak. He has the news media inform the citizens to be on alert and to stay indoors at all times. ‘Grinch’ becomes a code word for someone with leprosy.

Nick’s daughter isn’t impressed with him. In order to impress her, he allows her to ride with him in the tank, as they shoot presents out from the cannon. Besides ‘The Grinch’, Nick and his daughter become the only ones in town out in the streets on this Christmas night.

Explosions, gunfire, darkness, easy women, drama, and a heart-racing adrenaline ride ensues in this Christmas reboot. Written and directed by Christopher Nolan.
