All Is Lost Sequel: All Is Found

Robert Redford has a new movie coming out called All Is Lost, about some self-sufficient loner guy whose yacht gets into some problems, and he needs help from others to get rescued. Well, that title sounds like a bit of a downer, so I propose he make a sequel called All Is Found. And in the sequel, we’d find out that the happy ending of him being rescued was just a fantasy wish-fulfillment dream, and he actually dies. Oh, but he goes to heaven, and it’s not just any heaven, but Steven Wright’s version of the afterlife, where you get back everything you ever lost during your life, which is why it’s called All Is Found. And so we'll see Robert Redford get back all the stuff he ever lost, with flashbacks to the different points in his life when he lost it, whining and whatnot about how unfair life is, and then at the end he'll say: "Ha, ha! I got back all my stuff and you didn't!" (Hey, it has to be better than watching some guy all by himself sinking in a sailboat for two hours.)

BTW: Based upon the plot of the movie All Is Lost, I hope the musical score is just the Christopher Cross song "Sailing" on an infinite loop throughout the whole film.
