Movies you'd like to see get made.

[gwynplaine]

A new Chucky movie.

 

[BestGirl]

That would be cool. Who do you think could play Altair?

Ooh, I don't know. I suck at fantasy casting. How about Jake Gyllenhaal? Give him another movie where the fans can complain about him not being a real Middle Easterner.

 

[Doctor Jones]

"RACHEEEELL!"

Please don't bring that subject into this thread.

A Grand Theft Auto film could work very well or be a disaster.

Only if its based off of San Andreas.....With it being hard Rated R course.

 

[gwynplaine]

I really liked San Andreas. I think GTA 4 could maybe work too though.
Niko Bellic was a great and complex character imo.

 

[CrimsonMist]

Damn, this is a great idea.

I need to do some more research on Darwinism. Learned about it last year but forgot about it.

And that would kind of set it off from something like King Kong. Not to mention it justifies the undiscovered places in the Amazon more.

Definitely man. Also, do some research on Dagon. There's an H.P. Lovecraft story, but forget that. Check out the wikipedia page on it. Dagon was a Philistine God. Actually, he was a god in several cultures. Perhaps, if you're going to throw in undiscovered places in the Amazon, why not throw in fictional cultures, and have them worship this water god called Dagon, which of course, is actually the Creature. It adds a bit of an Indiana Jones touch to it. Just something else to run with if you're interested. I actually might outline my own version of it, i like it so much!

100 Bullets gosh tarnit!

Word. But i think maybe an HBO series would be better, no?

A Mouseguard movie.

YES! I love that comic!

I like your take on The Creature of the Black Lagoon, throw in a little Alien/Giger flavor into the mix, like Dr Jones was suggesting, and that's a version I'd really like to see on the big screen.

A reboot of the old George Burns Oh God! movies, which will at the same time be spin offs of the Bruce Almighty/Evan Almighty movies. The plot will be the same as in the George Burns movies, but with Morgan Freeman playing the role of God. The characters will remain the same, just recast. If the remake of Oh God! is successful, then they can do remakes of Oh God! Book 2 and Oh God, You Devil! I think those movies could be a lot of fun. The originals were anyway.

Something I read the other day..

In 1974, French filmmaker Jean-Pierre Gorin commissioned Dick to write a screenplay for a Ubik film. Dick completed the screenplay, turning it in within a month, but Gorin never filmed the project. The screenplay was published as Ubik: The Screenplay in 1985 (ISBN 978-0911169065) and again in 2008 (ISBN 9781596061699). Dick's former wife Tessa claims that the published screenplay "has been heavily edited, and others have added material to the screenplay that Phil wrote", though she suggests that "film producers really ought to take a look at the author’s own screenplay before embarking upon their journey of interpretation".

Dick's screenplay differs from the source material, featuring numerous scenes that are not in the novel. According to the foreword of Ubik: The Screenplay (by Tim Powers, a friend of Dick's and fellow science fiction writer), Dick had an idea for the film which involved "the film itself appearing to undergo a series of reversions: to black-and-white, then to the awkward jerkiness of very early movies, then to a crookedly jammed frame which proceeds to blacken, bubble and melt away, leaving only the white glare of the projection bulb, which in turn deteriorates to leave the theater in darkness, and might almost leave the moviegoer wondering what sort of dilapidated, antique jalopy he'll find his car-keys fitting when he goes outside."

Awesome

 

[cerealkiller182]

Cowboy Bebop movie starring Ron Perlman as Jett, James Franco as Spike, and Keanu Reeves as Vicious (no favorite for Faye) with a screenplay by the shows creator(s) directed by someone with a sharp appreciation for Blade Runner and a live action version of the television shows credit sequence

 

[[A]]

I stopped reading when I saw that "Kean.."

 

[WeaponXProject]

Napoleon by Ridley Scott or Darren Aronovsky now that Stanley Kubrick is dead.

The "Pistol" Pete story, decent budget and not made for TV.

More Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice without Korn music in them.

A movie about Cable from Marvel/Disney.

Neil Bloomkamp's next Sci-Fi project.

 

[Turtles]

Maybe it's finally time for a good Megalodon movie, with a good story, good actors and good FX. (I'm not talking SyFy, or megashark vs giant octopus), more jurassic park meets Jaws.

In the book Meg, by Steve Alton, a Megalodon shark eats a T-rex in the prologue. Is that Jurassic park meets Jaws enough for you? That was supposed to be made into a movie by New Line Cinema (my paperback copy of the book has that written right across the front cover), but it must have fallen through. Pity, that was a good book, and the world needs more monster movies (that aren't made by SyFy).

Other movies that I'd like to see made:
Aliens vs. Predator. They should try to adapt one of the books, I thought the books were good.
Metal Gear Solid. That would just be an awesome movie.
Super Mario Brothers. The first one was a bit corny. (on a side note, I can't help but think Robert Downy Jr. would make a good Mario after I saw him, on some late night show, joking about how people thought the bushy mustache he was sporting at the time had a Super Mario Brother's feel to it. Those people thought right.)
Beast Wars movie. I grew up watching Beast Wars, not the original Transformers, so this is what I'd like to see.
Devil May Cry.

I really like this idea too. Interesting. Though I don't want to make it too similar to Kong. But I like the idea for the natives. Maybe they aren't as homicidal as the natives were in Kong. The crew just come across them and witness them worshipping it. It can be like a Temple of Doom villagers sort of thing. Maybe they fear it as well?

The most difficult thiing will be balancing an Alien/Thing like horror story with a Beauty in the Beast love story. How can you be scared for this thing and at the same time feel sorry for it? The creature should be a misunderstood beast. He's feared and worshipped, but he's an innocent creature. It only attacks and kills because they are in it's own habitat.

A remake of Knight Chills, but with better actors, better cinematography, and a bigger budget.

It's a story about a D&D geek named John who is constantly bullied. His only escape is in playing Dungeons & Dragons. Problem is some of his fellow gamers also bully him, both in the game and out. As a result he begins to lose touch with reality. When his romantic gesture is rejected by the attractive female player in his group whom he is in love with, he drives his car off the road in a suicidal crash. After his funeral, a mysterious black knight appears and starts killing everyone who was ever mean to John. It's up to one of his fellow players and his Dungeon master to figure out what's going on and how to stop The Black Knight.

I would love to see a movie about the making of Manos: The Hands of Fate. A fertilizer salesman from Texas gets a wild hair up his ass and decides to make a "movie". There was a great article about it in EW a few years back.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

I'd personally love to see a new Rocketeer movie. That'd be pretty sweet.
