00:00Was there ever a conversation about having the Burbs actually take place in the same universe as the original film?
00:05Yeah, absolutely. It was definitely a thought that I had had.
00:08I tried to do the math of Tom Hanks and Carrie Fisher's son in the movie.
00:15I was like, maybe that could be the character, and it just didn't line up time-wise.
00:19And I ultimately decided what I think is best for reboots is when you keep that essential DNA from original
00:26IP
00:27and then build your own story and characters off of it.
00:30Of course, we wanted to still see some Easter eggs, and we're on the original cul-de-sac of the
00:35movie,
00:35and it's called Hinkley Hills, but it's infused with entirely new characters and storylines.
00:41So I think it's important to have its own identity as a show, but still have those winks and nods
00:48to the original.
