Your dream movie!?

I would have loved a prequel trilogy that had enough well-written character development to make us genuinely care about Anakin Skywalker and add gravitas to his transformation into Darth Vader. In my dream prequel trilogy, we would have seen "the best starpilot in the galaxy." We would have actually seen Anakin become "seduced" by the dark side. The Anakin Skywalker of my dream movies wouldn't have tarnished Darth Vader. He would have made Vader an even more tragic character.

The sad thing is I'm not even a Star Wars fan. :o
 
Oh yeah...and a Spider-Man 3 with just Harry Osborn as the villain. He could have been the second Green Goblin or the Hobgoblin (preferably). The films have been steadily building upon Peter Parker vs. Harry Osborn. With a well-written script, there would have been no need for another villain. The first two only had one each. The scene near the end of Spider-Man 2 with Harry has to go down as one of the best cliffhanger scenes in recent memory. Unfortunately, the third movie came out and the rest was history...
 
Wow. How could I forget the movie that I would kill for :doh:?

Batman, directed by David Fincher.

I was almost tempted to post "/Thread," because nothing else suggested could come close to such perfection.
 
my dream would not be a movie itself....i would actually just love to sit in on a meeting where they discuss what needs cutting or changing in a film thats being adapted, like comic book movies, or sequels, stuff us fans really know...and then I tell them they're all F*&^%#@ idiots! Directors, Producers, Execs...sometimes they all just need a good slap upside the head. They ruin so many little things that actually matter, because they don't actually ever listen to us. Even when they claim they do.
 
My dream movie is already happening. A new Tintin film directed by one of my favorite directors. :awesome:
 
- A viking movie in the veins of Apocalypto directed by Mel Gibson.

- A big hollywood production in the veins of Bravehart about the scandinavian regents Charles XI/Charles XII and The Great Northen War in the 18-century... preferabbly directed by Mel Gibson ^_^

Why doesn't he make Lucky Luke too? Why, oh WHY?

Now, i won't talk about an original idea i had for a movie since it would be too complicated to say, it would be set in a world with its oun mythology, it would take some ideas from the greek and Portuguese mythologies.
It would be about the fall of the supposed gods with the main hero discovering many truths about the war between them and the giant, the giants would be reawakened but they are like machines that fucilised with the years and be somewhat like big daddy, but less fat and much bigger, the size of a giant colossus.
The giants are indeed machines that a different race of humans created, and the gods are those exact species of humans but that instead of connecting to the machines they connected with the Earth.
It would be in the stile of those ancient greek dramas and it's discovered that this planet was in fact created by us humans from planet earth as an esperiment but we forgot about this and eventually disappeared.
The would be no innocent and everybbody was would be human with good and bad things.


Other ideas i had are a Legend of Zelda Trilogy wich would be:
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
The Legend of Zelda: The Skyward Sword
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Like with the fellowship of the ring Link wouldn't suffer a 7 years coma but just some months and he would start his quest as a young adult, Skyward sword would be a prequel and Twilight Princess would reach the trilogy's end with Link's reencarnation facing a vengeful Ganon.

And finally, i would like to see a X-Men Origins: Wolverine reboot as 2 films shot back-to-back, the first should be based around the origin and some things that happened after that, including the next confrontation between Logan and Sabretooth (maybe Dog should be sabretooth here too) and the secound should be based on Weapon X and lead to what we will see in The Wolverine and show some explanation for sabretooth's lack of memory and later appearance in the X-2 prequels.
 
My dream movie is either a live action remake of Neon Genesis Evangelion, or a movie based on a video game that for one is actually good, and secondly is based on a video game that I actually have fond feelings for. Needless to say, such a project carries with it a lot of risk.
 
Outside of my own ideas, I wouldn't mind seeing Go-Bots as a satire of Bayformers...of course, the trick would be getting Hasbro to sign off on it, since now they own the rights to both Transformers AND Go-Bots.

But it would have things like Leader-1 being portrayed as the polar opposite of Optimus Prime - instead of a wise old stalwart protector of humankind, Leader-1 would be a drunken, womanizing mech with a predilection for blowing stuff up (Gobotron High Command conscripts - emphasis on "cons" - him into pursuing Cy-Kill to Earth because nobody else will take the job, most of the populace considering Cy-Kill laughable as a threat). Likewise, Cy-Kill would have insecurity issues that manifest themselves physically in his inability to get his internal mass-shifting mechanisms to work properly every time he transforms from bike to robot - a running gag is that he keeps coming out much shorter than he should be (the analogy here would be pretty clear without having to go into the vivid detail of, say, robot-balls and leg-humping R/C trucks). There'd also be things like Cop-Tur acting like a mindless brute who snarls and roars but actually being extraordinarily intelligent and speaking in impeccable English...and completely hiding it even from his fellow Renegades because he knows they're incompetent enough on their own that they would try to make him figure everything out for them. Scooter, the youngest of the Guardians, would be switched to a female (in as much as a robot would be so) just to have at least ONE of the Guardians be the competent one; whereas Crasher essentially acts like Cy-Kill's disillusioned wife (thus explaining the increasingly-flirtatious nature of the 'relationship' with her Guardian rival Turbo). You'd also have the obligatory 'mystery-figures-dressed-in-black' pursuing the Go-Bots, only for them to be revealed to be lawyers with cease-and-desist orders claiming multiple counts of copyright infringement.

The principal human characters would be fashioned to specifically point out how one-dimensional and stereotypical and generally ridiculous they are - like, say, having an obligatory cliche moment where the Girl Computer Hacker attempts to hack into the Thruster's super-advanced computer with her laptop, only for Scooter to beat her to the punch...and driving the joke home by having the Girl Hacker's laptop immediately overload and crash from trying to hack into the alien supercomputer. Likewise, the Irritating Comic Relief Boy would be videotaping the entire adventure (maybe even get the same guy who played the Excitable Kid With The Camera in the first TF movie) and our heroes sell the movie to Hollywood at the end - the studio loads it up with toilet humor, belly shirts and excessive explosions and it naturally makes untold billions...except their cut of the money goes toward paying off the Guardians' energy consumption bill as well as the damage they've caused, with pretty much nothing left over.

Hey, I never said it was a GOOD dream movie...

I'm going to assume that Snyder's Man of Steel will win at the box office, and a sequel will be greenlit.

Since they're taking cues from Geoff Johns' work on the character, as Goyer wrote about being emotionally swayed by the relationship between Clark and Pa Kent in Secret Origin, then I would want to see the sequel take a dark turn. Something of a horror/suspense story with Brainaic playing a Pinhead-like character. Johns was definitely trying to give that vibe with his retcon of Brainaic, so Snyder should just take it to the next level. Don't darken Superman, but darken his villains and the world he lives in.
 
Grim Fandango - animated, directed by a young Tim Burton
 
A Heart of Darkness-esque film set in Afghanistan directed by Paul Thomas Anderson.

Tarantino's A Southern project sounds really dreamy, too. Samuel L. as the lead or bust.

There's three Bret Easton Ellis (author of American Psycho) novels I'd like to see be made into films:

#1

Glamorama. Leading man is Victor Ward, male model dragged into a world of terrorism. Played by Ashton Krutcher--what? He has... some acting chops when he lands the right part and I think he'd play a Victor with some charm and be perfect for the dumb, glib model. David Fincher would be my director of choice.

#2

Lunar Park
. More of a horror story but with the usual satirical Ellis themes of displacement and daddy issues. The Lead, a fictional caricature of Ellis himself, sporting the author's name, would be played by Sam Rockwell. Directed by Frank Darabont.

#3

Imperial Bedrooms. Ellis's latest novel, released last year, and the sequel to his first novel Less Than Zero released in '85 and then made for film in '87 (absolutely nothing like the book) with Andrew McCarthy as the leading man Clay. In Imperial Bedrooms we see where leading man Clay and the rest of the cast are twenty-five years later. Again: displacement, control issues, etc., etc. The book has a film noir tone, with femme fatale, paranoia, deception. I'd like Michael C Hall to be Clay--his monotone drawl in Dexter would be perfect for this and, let's face it, the guy has a darkness that would be perfect for this character whome, since we last saw him in '85, has become a complete sleaze but for some reason is still likeable. Maybe age him a bit and he'd be brilliant. Fincher, again.
 
Rain Man Vs. Forrest Gump.
 
Any Matthew Reilly novel turned into a film. They are perfect for it, and make better action movies as books than most action movies do as films.

Ship of Fools by Richard Paul Russo would make an amazing film, if anyone had the balls to adapt it.

And of course, a trilogy of films based on Cadillacs & Dinosaurs/Xenozoic Tales.
