12 Ads That Should Be Movies

We're gonna need a bigger telly....

Maynard's Wine Gums: Juice Loose Aboot This Hoose

The Ad: Not entirely sure what's going on here, but it seems to involve an insane Scotsman who eats wine gums and suffers bizarre hallucinations.

The Movie: Bernie McBoyle is an eccentric duke, living in a big, crumbly old castle in the middle of the Scottish highlands.

When he spends the last few pennies of his inheritance on whiskey, and discovers that his beloved home is in dire need of repair, he converts it into a hotel in the hope of earning a few bob.

The castle is rumoured to be haunted, though McBoyle staunchly denies this.

It definitely is haunted, though, as the first visitors discover. The hotel fails at first, as people are too scared to come and stay. However, with the help of a few ghosts, moving coats of armour and re-animated moose corpses, McBoyle manages to turn the haunted hotel into a profitable gimmick. 

The Director: Tim Burton turns the castle into a nightmarish gothic wonderland.

The Cast: We know he's American, so his Scottish accent will probably be utter shite - but we really want to see Will Ferrell with massive ginger hair and a kilt. John Rhys-Davies voices the moose and Helena Bonham-Carter is bound to be in there somewhere. We'll cover her in talc and call her a ghost.
