Minority Report

I have never watched the movie before so here is what my suggestions would be to add some time to the movie by taking some small things mentioned in the book.

Have more background information on Anderton and how the organization was brought up and how it started. Also there could be more information about Leopold Kaplan.

The narrator goes into detail of how Anderton feels after he finds his name on a card but those thoughts and actions would be hard to be put into a film and would either need to be expressed more in his actions or somehow he needs to be able to voice those feelings and opinions.

Also, maybe when they are changing scenes or scenarios, they could add more detail to them and stretch them out by just adding more possibilites of what could be happening instead of being straight forward with some of the actions happening.

The story mentions a previous war that was going on that destroyed parts of New York and other towns near by, maybe that could be added to the plot line or even used as flashbacks for possible links to the setting or characters.

Another easy way to add more time to a movie from a short story could be to add more depth just to the action scenes and the discussions between people.

Those are just a couple of ideas that popped into my head while I was reading along with the short story that could happen or could be put into the movie to make it as long as it needs to be.
