Somewhat "unusual" ideas that probably never will be made as films

[Airwings]

But what will be the best cinematic experience?

The choices include books, comic books and other "weird stuff"

 

[Airwings]

I could vote for everything, more or less.

Would be interesting if all of this happened in the same year. Let's say 2017 or 2018. What would fail or succeed?

 

[Lord]

I'll just post it again

I go with mangas, Berserk, Hunter X Hunter and One Piece are amazing and will probably never get the mainstream Western attention they deserve. But as much as i love cinema, i don't think the media could do justice to One Piece or HxH.

 

[Human Torch]

I'd be all for a Duckburg film based on Bark's stories.Live action?(A la Smurfs where CGI characters interact with live people)Probably not so much.

Why hasn't Bill Haley had a bio pick yet?

Personally, I think of the characters as real people then. Like Altman's Popeye, but not as corny.
The question is if it would be any good. Should Marco Rota or Don Rosa be involved somehow? Could Patrick Stewart or Ian Mckellen play Scrooge? Jim Carrey Donald?

Why hasn't Bill Haley had a bio pick yet?

Long ago, Tom Hanks planned to produce a biopic about Haley's later years, but he dropped the project. That's what I've heard.

I'll just post it again

I would be happy if you voted in my poll

I don't know most of those stories, but i voted for the one that interested me, which was a clash of Egyptian gods. A trilogy of Titans vs Greek Gods may be interesting for some, but there are many stories that i think have more potencial.

Knights of the Zodiac seems to have a lot of interesting ideas that could work in a film series, while Hunter X Hunter wouldn't work, i would like to see some of the themes and ideas there explored more in cinema, like such complex villain that is trying to find himself in Meruem, or a group of villains that helps each other and are all Basically budies, look normal, yet commit some very violent murders as if it was nothing, or even the usual cliché good guy ending up being more psychotic than it seemed, yet making complete sence for all his previous actions, like Gon did.

As for other ideas, i want to see more Lovecraftian mythology in films, and a Superman film that has a golden looking Metropolis and a true Pulpy look like the golden age comics and cartoons, as well as some of Morrison's takes on the character.

Are you sure? The "Clash" film would be exactly the same as the ones with Worthington, but with different characters/gods. That's what I had in mind.

A LOTR esque trilogy about how the Age of Titans ended in a bloody war... you mean it wouldn't excite you?

 

[Lord]

I know, but for some reason it just doesn't get me all that excited,i feel like we've seen a lot of films about Greek mythology already, the only ones that interest me are Wonder Woman and Knights of the Zodiac as i feel that they would be able to give something different.

I'd rather a plastic man series than an elongated man series. Plas ftw.

We have to wait and see how Gods of Egypt (by Alex Proyas) turns out, if it will be similar to Clash/Wrath or something else

I'd rather a plastic man series than an elongated man series. Plas ftw.

Elongated Man will be a more serious detective story with elements of film noir.
But Plastic Man could show up in the last couple of episodes

 

[Lord]

Glad that you mention Gods of Egypt, i don't think it's gonna be a good movie, but i would like to see more movies based on mythology from ancien Egypt and Persia respectivelly

I would like to see more Egyptian gods too. It's extremely interesting, and the same goes for the greek stuff actually.
Strange that neither mythology is treated with the respect it deserves when it comes to film adaptions.

I've had this idea in my head for years just because it's completely ridiculous. Eric Bana was Bruce Banner in the Hulk movie and was the time traveler in The Time Travelers Wife, so we combine the two. He's a time traveler that changes into the Hulk when he travels in time. He shows up at random points in the past/future and just destroys things then vanishes.

 

[Lord]

I used to think of a Wolverine vs Hulk live-action film that served also showed Hulk's origin in the MCU

 

[Airwings]

Lord: What would you think about an "Egyptian gods" film that ties to Atlantis, or Lemuria?

 

[Lord]

Sounds a little weird to me

 

[Victarion]

It's been in development for a while now, with no visible progress, but Michael Moorcock's Elric series would be neat. But very unlikely. It's about an albino sorcerer who sets out to save his people from dying out. They once conquered much of the known world with their dragons and are feared for their sorcery. Now their power is waning, and mankind is slowly realizing that the Melniboneans are a shadow of their former selves.

 

[Airwings]

I wanna see ALL of it.

I decide to limit my votes though. I go for an epic Fall of the Titans trilogy (LOTR esque). Then we will see the Olympian gods in their younger days, just like they were portrayed in Immortals. I also want the Titans to be humanoids, or look human - not like Kronos was in Wrath.

I also vote for

1) An Elongated Man detective series by CW. Not as bad ass as Green Arrow but still serious and still great fights/showcase of powers.

2) Dystopian steam punk in Mortal Engines

3) Some adventure about Atlantis

And then we have SpideyFan866. That vote is funny. I would like an explanation, please!

 

[Evil Twin]

I'd be surprised if the Elongated Man and Sue didn't show up on The Flash, assuming it's a success. I can't imagine that they don't have the rights to use those two, especially considering their history.

The Book of the New Sun

I want a movie about a six year old danish boy called James Bond. He's bullied by his classmates because of his weird name. When the other kids beat him up, they're dubbed by Sean Connery (even the girls). "Schaken, not schtirred!"

But James Bond hates James Bond movies! He prefers wildlife documentaries about snails. One day, he decides to become one. He meets this old guy (Jackie Chan) who owns a chinese restaurant, and they practice martial arts, meditation etc. He succeeds, and then the rest of the movie is in slow motion...even the music ("I'm snailing to Philadelphia", by Rob Zombie).

One day, he finds out the horrible truth, that snails are terrible role models. It ends with him accepting his destiny. Spoiler alert:

He walks past a guy holding a gun with a camera inside of the barrel. Bond turns around, and shoots him dead. The blood runs down the guy's gun barrel. James Bond is...James Bond in "The Man with Two Golden Nipples"

But if I have to choose from your fantastic list, I think I would choose the Titans vs Olympians movie

Agreed

Looks like someone was inspired today

There is no need for both Plastic Man and Elongated Man to exist. While us geeks know the difference, the general public will not. I am a HUGE believer in keeping each character in a comic universe as unique as possible (which means DC would have to kill half of its characters just to get reasonable in that regard). The general public knows the name Plastic Man. Comic readers know that Elongated Man is a much better character. So, you write an Elongated Man movie/comic, and name it Plastic Man for increased awareness. Sacrilege? I don't care.

The geeks would get furious over this, tearing down the place in total rage.
You have a point though, that Elongated is better (he's serious).
