Reading Jackie Brown was awesome. I've read a screenplay only once before and didn't enjoy it nearly as much as I did this one. This movie was made perfectly the first time; so if I was so bold as to change it, it would not be for the better. It would be a medium that wouldn't be taken too seriously. Maybe a cheap cartoon like Recess or Hey Arnold where all the problems of the real world are condensed into a school yard except I want it to stay live action.
So, the big crime guy Ordell who was selling guns for big money in the original story is now a bully trading sleazy comic books for candy. The two cops are now hallway patrols out to catch the bully. The main character Jackie brown will be your average joe kid not good but not especially bad, and her older accomplice who helps her get all the loot in the end (Max Cherry) will be an old man janitor who's kind and willing to bend the rules to help a kid out.
For music I'm thinking Something a little more serious to contrast the setting and give a sort of humor. Like some serious rap, something ridiculous for the setting.
