They Should Make That Movie!

I wanted Drizzt Do'Urden to be brought to the big screen after seeing Prince Nuada in action in Hellboy 2.

I've ALWAYS wished they'd do an action thriller film where a big time actor (Preferably Liam Neeson, Will Smith, Stallone, Tom Cruise, Bruce Willis etc.) literally plays him (or her)self and is thrust into a crazy "Die Hard-esque" situation. Sort of like This is the End but more of an action thriller where let's say Will Smith is at a bank or a train station and it is being held hostage and now its up to the real life Will Smith (or insert your favorite action hero) to save the day. I think it could be very satirical and fun to see what these guys whose whole lives revolve around PLAYING heroes on film would do if something like this happened to them in real life.

A similar treatment was done in Chinese cinema recently, with the movie Rigor Mortis, where Chin Siu-Ho, a famous staple of the kung-fu horror comedy genre, plays a washed-up version of himself facing an actual jumping Chinese vamp. Nothing satirical about it though. It was played pretty straight and serious. I don't think the movie works for an audience not familiar with that genre or Hong Kong cinema.

How has no one made a biopic about Copernicus?

How has no one made a biopic about Copernicus?

Because Benedict Cumberbatch can only take on so many projects per year.

I want to see a live action re imagined serious Sci-fi action Astro Boy film.
It would be a cross between Pinocchio/Chappie/Ex Machina.

I have started collecting images to brain storm what it could look like.

[Napoleon]

A Tom Cruise/Keanu Reeves action film in the style of Face/Off. They play assassins from competing organizations where both are ordered a hit on the other.

 

[Victarion]

They should make a fantasy Vietnam War story where the central protagonist is a medic and historian in a mercenary company working for employers of dubious character. Said employers are engaged in a long-running political struggle only hinted at; the focus is more on the medic/historian and his mercenaries looking at their actions as being an honest day's work rather than strictly good or bad. For kicks, have the medic/historian become an object of affection for the cruel mistress that rules organization whose members are using the war to mask their scheming and infighting.

Or

A fantasy epic where our hero lives a life of decadence, attempting to balance his people's macabre tastes with the mercy needed to endear his fading nation to the new powers in the world. It would ideally climax in the hero attempting to become the paragon of hedonism and cruelty that his nation desires, with the hero leading a raid of pirates and dragons against his nation to raze it to the ground.

We need more good fantasy movies.

Daniel Day Lewis as Rasputin.

 

[terry78]

Hell, a George Washington biopic has never come to light which is insanely odd.

 

[Napoleon]

I'd also love to see a movie about the St. Patrick's Rebellion, where a group of Irish soldiers deserted the British army to fight on the Mexican's side during the Spanish-American war after witnessing the atrocities committed by the former upon the latter.

 

[NotSoLongAgo]

A Van Gogh biopic starring Simon Pegg

 

[The Face]

I would love to see a movie (of series of movies) based on Edgar Rice Burroughs 'Amtor' book series.
A tropical ocean world, wizards, zombies, flying ships, pirates, bird-men, ape-men, lasers, rapiers, a hero named Carson Napier, what's not to like?

 

[The Face]

I want The Spierig Brother's Captain Blood remake in space to happen. Modern cinema is a little starved of fun pulpy space adventure films (there are a few isolated examples like Guardians of the Galaxy but not a lot) and a space pirate movie would be cool. We haven't had a space pirate movie since 'The Ice Pirates' back in 1984.

Reposting my idea from another thread

I have a pretty interesting idea for the found footage genre. It's based on the Ferguson riots where we follow a journalist for an online news site (like Vice or HuffingtonPost). He has up a live stream of the riots as it escalates to extreme levels (think Purge 2).

I know it's only going to be time before somebody makes it.

I want an indie comedy drama film based on the story and myth of John Titor. Id want it to play the angle that its all true and see it from J.Ts perspective

John Titor is the name used on several bulletin boards during 2000 and 2001 by a poster claiming to be a time traveler from 2036.[1][2]
In these posts, Titor made numerous predictions about events in the near future, a number of them vague and some quite specific,[3] starting with events in 2004. He described a drastically changed future in which the United States had broken up into five smaller regions, the environment and infrastructure had been devastated by a nuclear attack, and most other world powers had been destroyed.


In his online postings, Titor claimed to be an American soldier from 2036, based in Tampa in Hillsborough County, Florida, who was assigned to a governmental time-travel project. Purportedly, Titor had been sent back to 1975 to retrieve an IBM 5100 computer which he said was needed to debug various legacy computer programs in 2036; a possible reference to the UNIX year 2038 problem. The IBM 5100 runs the APL and BASIC programming languages.
Titor had been selected for this mission specifically, given that his paternal grandfather was directly involved with the assembly and programming of the 5100. Titor claimed to be on a stopover in the year 2000 for "personal reasons", to collect pictures lost in the (future) civil war and to visit his family, of whom he spoke often.
Titor also said he had been, for a few months, trying to alert anyone that would listen about the threat of Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease spread through beef products and about the possibility of civil war within the United States. When questioned about them by an online subscriber, Titor also expressed an interest in mysteries such as UFOs, which remained unexplained in his time. Titor suggested that UFOs and extraterrestrials might be travelers from much further into the future than his own time, with superior time machines.

All should be movies.

Here's a movie idea I've had for a while. It actually started out as an idea for a summer camp, but it would cost millions of dollars to launch a camp like this, and I don't happen to have millions of dollars so . . .

The title of the film is "Camp Blood", chosen as a tribute to one of my all time favorite slasher movies, Friday The 13th. It's about a summer camp that just a little bit different. It's a camp for young horror fans. Kids sign up to spend two weeks at camp. During Week #1, they do normal summer camp stuff (swimming, hiking, canoeing, toasting marshmallows, singing campfire songs, etc). Then during Week #2, they are "stalked" by a mysterious "killer", and are picked off one by one. It's all just a big game, kinda like those "Murder Mystery Parties", where clues are left around the camp and the remaining campers have to deduce who the "killer" is. Kinda like the revealed plot in the 1980's horror/comedy "April Fool's Day". In the script, it's a popular summer camp and the kids enjoy trying to figure out who the killer is going to be this year (the killer changes every year for each new batch of kids so that they don't get bored with Week #2). Only this year, the murders end up being for real.

So it's kinda like a cross between "Scream" & "April Fool's Day".

From another thread, posted by Heretic.

A biblical epic:

Many years ago, the Lord decided that humanity was evil and must be done away with...so he planned a massive flood to kill everyone. However, one man named Noah was deemed worthy, so the Lord warned him to gather up his family and pairs of every animal into an ark, so they could survive the storm and repopulate the earth. The flood comes and Noah and his family tend to the animals. After 40 days, he sets loose a dove to see if it will find land. After a bit, he sees it flying back, with an olive branch in its mouth. Then...just as it is about to land back on the ark...a giant shark leaps out of the ocean and eats it. The shark then attacks the boat, tearing away at the wood and killing entire species of animals (such as the dinosaurs). Noah must then struggle to reach land before the shark kills his entire family and extinguishes all land life on earth. Ladies and gentlemen...I give you...Noah's Shark.

Batman: Something Something

A series of Batman movies based on a mix between the golden age Batman and Batman of the 70s.

1. Batman doesn't travel the world. He stays in the US and trains with the best martial arts instructors, detectives etc.

2. No familiar supervillains yet. Just gangsters and regular crooks. The main villain is a mob boss this time.

3. No big explosions or CGI.

4. Batman uses his brains more than his fists. And he prefers to scare villains. There's probably a big fight at the end of the movie in the badguy's mansion, though. Bullets fly, fists fly. No fancy kicks or bullet time stuff.

5. No distracting love interest yet. Julie Madison is only mentioned.

6. No fake muscles on the suit. Gray and black costume.

7. No batmobile yet. Just a regular black car without license plates.

8. No fancy-pants gadgets. Batarangs are enough (for now).

9. Alfred is not in the movie. He shows up at the after-credits scene when he's hired by Bruce. It's the classic origin where Alfred finds out that Bruce Wayne is Batman.

10. Batman isn't insanely violent like Frank Miller's version. Yes, he's a vigilante, but he's not a total psycho. No torture or unnecessary violence. He's more motivated by altruism than anger (although there's a lot of that too). He wants to protect innocent people, not just hurt the guilty.

11. Most of the cops in the GCPD are honest people. Corruption isn't a big issue here, Batman just wants to help out. To go where they can't.

12. No batcave. That comes later. For now, it's just a secret room in Wayne Manor, with a gym, the "batmobile", equipment and a computer.

13. Hugo Strange and his monsters are the main threat in the sequel.


Bond, James Bond. A movie loosely based on some of my nightmares.

James Bond is a nine year old bully victim who struggles to fit in. His classmates make fun of him because of his name. They usually stand by his bedside at night, trying to rip out his tongue and bite him. When they try to murder him, all of the kids are dubbed by the real Sean Connery.

Bond: "Please, leave me alone!"

Fat bully (slow motion): "You got a li-li...uh license to kill? Bwahahaha!"

Little girl with black eyes: "Schaken...not schtirred!"

Flying Sean Connery head: "Hi, I'm Sean Connery. I'm from outer space and I'm here to dance. Hi, I'm Sean Connery..."

But James Bond hates James Bond movies. He prefers wildlife documentaries about snails. One day, he decides to become one. His mother won't listen. She just sits there at the kitchen table, pale as snow, bald, yellow eyes. She's always drooling and looking at the same dead spider.

He meets this old guy (CGI Bruce Lee) who owns a chinese restaurant, and they practice martial arts, meditation etc. He succeeds, and most of the movie is in slow motion from now on...even the music ("I'm snailing to Philadelphia", by Rob Zombie). His bloodshot eyes stick out of his skull, all of his teeth are gone, there's slime everywhere. The actor is replaced by a disgusting stop-motion puppet.

One day, he finds out the horrible truth, that snails are terrible role models. They're cute, but you can't really make a living by being a snail. The movie is now a documentary, with a British narrator. Once in a while, the movie cuts to the narrator's face. He doesn't have a mouth, he just sits in the dark and stares directly at the viewers. He communicates with telepathy. A hand is sticking out of his forehead, and it's desperately trying to claw those eyes out.

The documentary shows James Bond working as a banana peeler, but the pay is horrible.

The movie 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"
