Cheap sequels are so horribad.

I'd like to see Peter Jackson's take on The Legend of Zelda.  I'd pay money to see a good adaptation of the whole Zelda story / look / music schmeer.

I Am Pilgrim.  Might have to be a multi-episode release on Netflix to get the whole story.

Hyperion...just the first two books. Better suited to an HBO limited series. Scorsese wanted to make a stand alone movie out of the priest’s tale.

To the White Sea. Book about an American soldier who crashes on the coast of Japan during WWII and has to cross the country to where he can be rescued. Coen brothers were attached years ago but it never moved forward.

Sequels to Buckaroo Banzai and Remo Williams.
Start with those and I’ll reevaluate after.

It's already underway, looking forward to it but you're right on cramming it into a movie being a challenge. There was lots of fluff to it. 

 

I just want a legit badass/massive budget WW1 movie or series. It gets completely overlooked compared to 2, but is just as fascinating if not moreso. 

 

Scorsese already has Devil and the White City underway.

Remo Williams, especially. It was even subtitled, "The Adventure Begins." There was so much potential for a sequel.

Joel Grey was amazing. It's a shame he never got to reprise that role.

I often use the line, "You move like a pregnant yak."

It's still shocking that no one has ever given this a legitimate try. Even if they fuck it up.

It's got one of the best story lines in all of gaming, would be pleasing to the fantasy/sci fi crowd, and already has a legion of fans from different generations/eras that would go ga ga for it.

Case?

[XYZ 2154]

Peter Jackson fucking sucks, and I hate him.

I wish they would make a mini-series out of The Talisman by Stephen King. That would be cool, if they can pull it off. They could also do Wolves of the Calla. That’d be cool, too.

just call it blood meridian you pedantic ass. 

[futureman 22517]

for years mel gibson has been trying to make a vikings movie using original norse dialects much like he did in apocalypto.  randall wallace is also involved.   would be brutal and excellent.  was going to be called “berserker” but nothing has happened as of yet.

Just reread The Talisman recently and had the same thought.  The advent of the longer-form series brings a lot of great books into play -- I wish they would go back and give World War Z the proper treatment, it's perfect for that.

I say I'd love Blood Meridian too, but like A Confederacy of Dunces, the only thing it could do would be to disappoint.

It would be fun to see someone creative with a take on The Phantom Tollbooth these days.  Just not Tim Burton.

Film adaptations of Ellroy's The Big Nowhere and White Jazz.

Old Yeager - Well, everyone knows Yeager died in the Apollo 1 tragedy.  What this movie presupposes is... maybe he didn't?

I think a story on Billy Martin would be interesting, such a tortured soul, imo. 

[CurlyDumps 4477]

[Patron 230]

 Maybe short series on Netflix.

Try now. And already losing $100 million so far

Haha. I just had to look it up.  Other than seeing a preview for it months ago, I haven't heard shit about it.  At a small budget of $100M, that's quite a feat to fail nowadays but I wouldn't put any cinematic failure past the ability of Peter Jackson.

I would really love to see the silo series, probably better for TV though.

If memory serves, isn't there a section where a bunch of guys show up with Sharps rifles and pick a group of Indians apart?  Reminded me of the scene in the Buster Scruggs flick.

This is apparently in the works. Leonardo DiCaprio has the film rights.

I'd love to see Gaiman's Neverwhere or The Ocean at the End of the Lane. I think I either would work as a movie in the right hands.

I'd also love to see Christopher Moore's A Dirty Job or Bloodsucking Fiends (and their respective sequels) made into limited series.

[Vito Andolini 9127]

Cameron Crowe writes and directs (maybe Amy Heckerling directs) a semi-comedic drama about a group of middle aged Southern Californians, reunited some 35 years after graduation. The funeral of their crotchety yet beloved social studies teacher may be a device that gets some to return.

Stars Academy Award winner Forrest Whitaker as a former pro football player dealing with loss of fame, fortune and an increasingly bad case of CTE. 

Academy Award winner Sean Penn is a lifelong stoner, dealing with the consequences of prolonged adolescence, He still has Stoner Buds Anthony Edwards and Eric Stoltz as friends, but Edwards is now a bald accountant who tries to get Penn’s character to grow up. 

Academy Award winner Nic Cage owns the local All American Burger, and hires non-Oscar winner Judge Reinhold to manage it. Academy Award nominee Jennifer Jason Leigh is the emotional center of the film, returning to town after a long absence and discovering how things have changed (the mall has been bulldozed, and they do have cable TV). Her best friend in HS, played by Phoebe Cates, went on to become an actress, but gave up het career in her 20’s after marrying a more successful, older actor.
