Your dream projects

[Bi-Polar Bear]

What are some of your ideas for movies that would probably never be made in a million years? Money is no object, no execs to wave their fingers and go "you can't do that!"or whatever. You could just wave a magic wand and make it so. And be creative. None of that "I'd make the Star Wars prequels only better" crap.

I'd wanna see a wierd, surreal buddy cop movie made by David Lynch, starring Johnny Depp and Samuel L. Jackson (hell, I'd pay 50 bucks to see those two star opposite of each other period.)

Takeshi Miike would do an American horror film where he'd get full control, he wouldn't have to filter it for mainstream softcore nansy-pansy horror audiences. He could just go hogwild.

An adaptation of Grant Morrison's The Filth, written and directed by Terry Gilliam and starring Bruce Willis as Greg Feely/ Ned Slade.

Justice League

 

[Selene]

Justice League
A Phoenix Spin off Film
Matrix Continuation or Prequel
Underworld 3 WITH Kate Beckinsale not a origin film without her.

Realistic Batman Beyond (if SM: The Series gets off the ground, this might be a possibility)

Basically imagine a realistic world that leaned upon a hero to survive, but when that hero leaves... the city is left to manage itself and it begins to fall into crime. A dark ages of sorts. This would take on the realistic Batman Begins type setting... expanding the characters to fit a more realistic approach.

A superhero film whose focus is on a city that has to build itself back up from its ashes.

Freddy vs Jason, vs Ash made by Sam Raimi

Christopher Walken in Pirates of the Caribbean 4 (He was up for Barbossa in 1, I think Rush was the best choice, but Walken would be a sweet Pirate)

And some none Mark Steven Johhson comic book movies

 

[mwm1331]

Justice league, but to be done right it woul have to be a trilogy at least.

A genuine Transformers movie

The Dark Elf Trilogy starring Depp as Drizzt

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

My friend and I have always wanted to make a movie where Al Pacino stars as a gruff centaur trying to save his son from some menace.

Why don't you see the movie first before saying that.

y'know, usually I don't have a problem with design changes... I stood by the X-Men uniforms (though I think they could've been better), the overhaul Batman gets with each film, and I was even perfectly okay with Superman, which was the most nitpicked uniform in the history of comic book movies.

but this...

is just some unnacceptable s#!t. I've picked boogers that look more like Megatron than that.

I don't know man, the Xmen uniforms are worse than this

Only trouble with that statement is, Megatron's appearance has been in flux since G1. That's why I approach the movie as another new TF continuity (I kind of knew from the beginning this wasn't going to be a flat-out G1 movie, knowing Hollywood's penchant for changing things).

 

[Dr.Doom]

Ghostbusters 3 with all the original cast and $300 mill. budget

* Burton's Batman Forever
* Timothy Dalton's 3rd Bond film, "The Property of a Lady"
* An overhauled "Return of the Jedi"
* Richard Donner's Superman 3 and 4

Secret Wars

at least in X-Men you got to see some hints of the characters' designs beyond the uniforms: Wolverine had his trademark hair and slashes in his uniform, Cyclops had his visor (pretty well done, IMO), Rogue eventually got her strand of white hair, and hell, there were actual X's on the uniforms. they were identifiable. could they have gone for something more comic booky? yeah, I guess. but despite the uniforms, there was still some glimpse of the characters I knew, and even improvements (I'm one of the few who really dug Rogue's character in the first two, before 3 ruined her).

and just like X-Men, if you look at Optimus' design, you can look at him and recognize him as Optimus. maybe not at first glance, but it's there. it's not great, it's WAY overdesigned, but it's passable.

but Megatron? THAT? no-f***in-where to be found.

honestly, I've never followed much of TF beyond G1. it was one of my favourite cartoons growing up in the 80's, but it didn't go much beyond that. but anywhere I've looked, be it comics or those "new" cartoons, I could look at him and recognize him as Megatron. but if that picture didn't flat out tell me at the bottom what it was supposed to be, I'd NEVER be able to guess it was Megatron. as opposed to what happened with Optimus.

You use the most respected and loved source material. You use what made it popular in the first place. If you're going to change most of the iconic characters and stories you may as well change the title from Transformers to something else.

I would love to see a real Elektra movie, where she's a badass assassin!

Well, some of us have learned not to look forward to straight-up, flat-out rehashes of twentysomething-year-old stories. That's why I was slightly disappointed in Superman Returns - I was all for a Donner sequel (and still am), but Singer didn't add anything new to the formula.

Now on the flip side of things, am I disappointed that the designs don't look more familiar? Yes. Am I going to let that sour going to see the movie? No. I would have enjoyed Emmerlich and Devlin's Godzilla if that muscle-bound, Dick-Tracy-jawed mother iguana had actually ACTED like Godzilla (i.e. NOT run away from helicopters, get tangled up in a bridge, and killed by meager missiles).

So IMO changes are a two-way street...sometimes a necessary evil (like Batman Begins), sometimes a suicide note (like Batman & Robin). But they are inevitable, and IMO really the only way to judge is to see the movie for yourself. I thought Batman & Robin might actually be entertaining until I finally saw it, and thankfully then only on video. Likewise, I had absolutely none of interest in LOTR that everyone else around me had until I actually saw the movies, all three of them on the big screen.

As a side note, I don't know any kids that like Transformers. My two grade-school nephews don't give a f*** about Transformers, and my room is loaded with them. They grab the lightsabers and Don Post SW helmets and that's about it. On the shelves of our nearest Target, Wal-Mart and Toys R Us the story is all the same; TFs languish while Avatar frequently has empty pegs.
