Got this from the Camcorder Info blog:

Here’s an interesting idea: movies that you can remix yourself. Michela Ledwidge made a short sci-fi film called Sanctuary, but she wants to take it a step further. In February, she’ll be offering up all of the film that she shot, the sound effects, the storyboards and other production documents and allowing others to make their own version of the film: the director describes it as a “re-mixable live action graphic novel”. The stuff isn’t available yet, but you can register as being interested for when it is. It will be released under a creative commons license, so you can chop or change it as much as you like, and even use it in your own (non-commercial) films.

This is a great idea: I’ve watched loads of films that have inspired me (either by being very good or very bad), and it would be a fascinating to try and make my own version. I'll be posting more on this as the project develops.

I too think this is a cool idea. Especially for folks learning filmmaking or seasoned pros wanting to refine and test their skills. Plus it might just be fun!
