Holes
“Yo, let’s make a film about digging holes!”
“Oh for sure, and let’s make it a phenomenal family film, that just has to become a cult classic!”
“Yes! you’re a genius! Let’s also make it all about how where you are is not an accident and you have to do the most about what you were given”
“HECK YEAH!”
Exactly how Holes was greenlit I assume 🤷
