At this point, the only way you get anything made for theaters is to find a nostalgic brand to tie it to. This will probably suck, because Speck and Gordon peaked with Blades of Glory, but conceptually I have no problem with a pioneer-themed action comedy, and it barely matters that they dusted off Oregon Trail to do it.

Recent experience has shown that you should be careful if the property you're working on has extensive lore and loud fans, but I'm somewhat sympathetic to creatives who just want to get a project funded and are willing to glom onto to an existing property to do it.
