World War Z, made as a documentary/re-enactment style mini series. Could make it beat for beat almost identical to the book.
I just want a streaming anthology series based on the book. Every episode is a different story. I don’t mind if paths cross from time to time, but it shouldn’t fall into the traps of “Walking Dead” or the film version, where it follows the same group of people all the time. You could do some really creative storytelling set in the same universe if you hired a different writer and director each episode.
Dune by Moebius and Jodorowski.
What a shame.
Silent Hill. Written, directed by, and starring David Lynch.
Discworld - Guards! Guards! Honestly done, with the Pratchett estate approval. With Paul Blackthorne as Vimes, John Cena as Carrot, DJ Qualls as Knoby, Kathy Bates as Lady Sybil, and of course Charles Dance as the Patrician. Sorry I’ve put way too much thought in to this idea.
I always pictured Alan Rickman as Vetinari, but Charles Dance is a great pick! And, you know, still possible…
Dance played the Patrician in the Sky TV production of Going Postal and he just as great as you would expect.
I’d love an X-Men film based on the proper comic book life of Lady Deathstrike, rather than the bastardisation we got in X-2.
However I can understand it would be far too gory.Predator vs my little pony
Ripley was small, even for an Earth Pony.
A Clash of Worlds
In the heart of a vibrant, enchanted forest, Ripley, a spirited pony with a shimmering coat of lavender and a mane that sparkled like stardust, roamed freely. She was known among her friends for her bravery and kindness, often leading her fellow ponies on adventures through the lush meadows and sparkling streams. One fateful day, as Ripley explored a hidden glade, she stumbled upon a strange, metallic object half-buried in the ground. Curiosity piqued, she approached it cautiously, her heart racing with excitement. Little did she know, this object was a cloaked spacecraft, belonging to a fearsome Predator, a hunter from a distant planet. The moment Ripley touched the surface, the ship activated, and the Predator, a towering figure clad in advanced armor and wielding deadly technology, materialized before her, its eyes glinting with a predatory gleam.
Ripley, undeterred by the imposing figure, stood her ground, her heart pounding but her spirit unyielding. The Predator, intrigued by this small creature that dared to confront it, lowered its weapon, momentarily captivated by Ripley’s bravery. Sensing the tension, Ripley decided to communicate, her voice soft yet firm. “I may be small, but I will protect my home and friends from anyone who threatens them.” The Predator, taken aback by her courage, hesitated, realizing that this encounter could lead to an unexpected alliance rather than a battle. As the two faced each other, the forest around them seemed to hold its breath, waiting to see if the fierce hunter and the gentle pony could find common ground. In that moment, a bond began to form, one that would challenge the very nature of their worlds and redefine what it meant to be a protector.
A true Warhammer 40K movie. But I fear many people would find it ‘problematic’ and not understand that the whole thing is so over the top that it’s close to satire.
As a longtime Warcraft fan, I’d like a movie about Arthas (the Lich King) and I want Fassbender to play him because no one plays a character like that as believably as he does.
Basically a good guy who eventually goes full evil yet you still want redemption for him. (Spoiler: he does not get one)
I think Anathem by Neil Stephenson could be a great 2 season series, if you approach it with Andor level writing and dedication, and fully commit to the twist with subtle character design.
I’m not overly critical of the LOTR movies and actually really appreciate that they exist, but I need one that is just perfect with no other objectives but to bring the books to film. I just want something that is entirely accurate without any forced action and fluff or need for it to make lots of money.
The Culture Series by Iain M Banks.
There’s too much detail and too vast a story for it ever to be made into a piece of film media (alongside Banks’ wishes that it never be made into one)
How about Waps Factory? That would be a great movie.
Or is this a different Iain Banks… I feel like I tripped on this before.
Not to worry, caught me out as well a couple of times. It’s the same author, he used ‘Iain M. Banks’ for his scifi work and ‘Iain Banks’ for regular eathbound fiction.
Wasp factory would make for a magnificent film, if only there were directors alive that had the chops to make a film worthy eh.
A biopic of Rasputin by Wes Anderson
That would be so fucking fabulous. I really like that your brain thought of that, it’s a lot of fun to think about.
XO Manowar. No idea who I would cast as a 5th century Visigoth. I would get a bunch of synthwave and electronic artists and other musicians to create an original album for the movie soundtrack. Getting Perturbator and Gary Numan cooking together would be amazing. Rendered for the most ubiquitous 3d tech installed in theaters, and storyboard/cinematography is designed to take advantage of that.
I would love to sell my trilogy, Dante’s Darkness, starting with Winds as a six episode mini series. Yes, the writing is rough, but the story is fun and power creep but not overwhelming. Unfortunately, I wrote about the end of the world right before shit went really South. Remember your UV anal cleansings, folks!
unicron vs galactus, recent movies featuring either of these enemies were quite a disappointment.
also wrapping up SGA, sgu with a movie, but the showrunners are very hesitant to write any sg related works right now.
