I'd imagine a DC and Marvel crossover movie would warrant a budget of about a billion or very close to it.

Okay this may be a silly topic but movies are getting more and more expensive and the profits are getting bigger (although still not warranting a billion dollar budget).
Hypothetically let's say there was some movie obsessed billionaire who decided to put up a billion dollars for a feature let's say of the action/superhero/sci-fi/epic variety.
How do you think that movie would come out looking?
If it were my movie to make with a billion dollars, it would be a disaster/apocalyptic movie with super heroes complete with the world exploding just cuz.
And it will be amazing.All that directed by Michael Bay, James Cameron and Steven Spielberg, plus some spectacular musical numbers directed and edited by Baz Luhrman given $100 million just to stage those suckers.
Now, we're talking about a mess that will be one of the most visually stunning things ever.
No, Adam Shankman would be my go-to guy of course.Well at a billion dollars it has to have musical numbers and Baz has shown an ability to "**** the frame" with musicals and let the budget shine. I mean would you rather have Rob Marshall's dull musical direction?![]()
Hell ****ing noOh and Nolan should be paid $10 million just to have his name on the trailer.
You know what, sure, I'd use his camera creations, why not.Maybe he can do one 10-minute tracking shot in IMAX or something. Now, it's taking shape.
The big studios should work together on a project like this: New Line Cinema, Paramount, Universal, 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros, MGM, Disney.
It would have the best special effects ever seen. And lots of things in the film would have been done for real, and it would have been a 4 hour movie with a grand story of biblical proportions, and a great deal of character development bestween all the action sequences. Maybe directed by Ridley Scott, James Cameron, Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, Christopher Nolan, JJ Abrams, Joss Whedon, Terry Gilliam, Peter Jackson and Tim Burton TOGETHER, with George Lucas as a producer. And the studios should give them free hands and no limits. I know it would be impossible because they have very different visions as filmmakers, but this is just make believe anyway.
And the cast then?
I would really have enjoyed a huge and epic sci-fi/fantasy/adventure movie with all of them: Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jake Gyllenhaal, Elijah Wood, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Ewan McGregor, Jude Law and Liam Neeson - all of them in big roles. They would share the screen with older guys such as Sean Connery, Clint Eastwood, Jack Nicholson, Mel Gibson, Morgan Freeman, Harrison Ford, Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino, Nick Nolte, Robert Redford, Burt Reynolds, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Michael Douglas, Anthony Hopkins, Michael Caine, Roger Moore, Max von Sydow, Peter O'Toole, Ian McKellen and Christopher Lee. Just to mention a few.
The actresses then? Meryl Streep and Nicole Kidman should be among them, for sure.
Any story suggestions? Why not the actual war between the titans and the olympian gods?
With the success of Avengers I can at least imagine that Disney/Marvel would want to make something like a Secret Wars-movie in the future if they for some reason could get back the rights to Spider-Man, X-Men and others that at the moment belong to other companies. Could be a pretty expensive movie, I suspect.
