What movie would you make?

[-zach-]

1. Artemis Fowl
When reading the book I always imagined my own specific way of doing it, re-imagining it better than the illustration on the front cover. I hope could make it really cool, a good PG-13.

2. Eragon
And do it right.

3. Metal Gear Solid
Yeah, the videogame. You know it would rule. Don't even.

and because my last three movies were hits, they let me do

4. Agent 47
Adaptation of the videogame Hitman, with Jason Statham, not some fricking Timothy Olyphant.

I must agree with Zach on MGS..that would be a kick ass movie

but anything else...id say any Tom Clancy novel. He's got some reallyy awesome stuff!

One of these threads comes up like every 6 months. My answer really hasn't changed:

"THE MASTER AND MARGARITA"

as for comics i would do the x-men, in part the story which involved the future of the x-men and where the sentinels where succesful in killing off all mutants and much of the x-men ( save for kitty pride ). its old now (1980's ?) and it was real dark but really well written. chris claremont/ john byrne stuff.

as for any book, catcher in the rye, although that is sacrilegeous so maybe i wouldnt do it. best to leave it alone, now that i think about it. that was the best story i have ever read.

as for redoing movies? someone mentioned star wars, id love to redo the last three for sure. recast anikan somebody, please! ( amongst other things) id leave the first three alone though. empire strikes back was too cool.

or maybe do a movie version of the robert mcnamara story. anyone see the documentary "fog of war"? truly, truly sick. maybe do it in a style of "the insider".

oh, yeah, tom clancy novels are real good, i agree. red october was awesome.

 

[Zak Forsman]

as for a comic, i'd do The White Llama.

 

[Mark Harris]

comic, "Mage."

 

[Blaine]

The Mote in God's Eye

Thunderhead

The Blue Nowhere

"Survivor" by Chuck Palahniuk (I dont really care too much for his other work but this book is f**king great and would translate very well on the screen.... I'm not sure why they havent adapted this yet?)

"Moby Dick" by Herman Melville (yeah. probably my favorite book of all time)

"Paradise Lost" by John Milton (I can assure you, it would be THE greatest and most epic movie ever laid to tape/stock/hard drive/etc)

CLOSE runners up.... (a tie pretty much)

"El Ingenioso Hidalgo Don Quixote de la Mancha" (Don Quixote) by Miguel de la Cervantes Saavedra

and

"The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas

Fight Club!?

 

[hoofandmouf]

yeah, fight club is pretty good..... although I prefer Survivor

I thought the film was better than the book (a RARE case)

1. Terminator - Yeah yeah, James Cameron it's classic blah blabh bhalhb, but honestly I probably know more about the terminator films and mythos than Cameron does. I'd probably make it even more horror oriented though. I'd also probably do some weird casting.

(also, I think biehn in terminator is more iconic than arnolds character... but I'm weird)

2. Survivor - Someone was just talking about this. Amazing book.

3. I don't really like any comics, so I'd probably do a video game, and I'd want to adapt Fallout.

 

[Robert Eldon]

I agree... I just thought the other day that a facinating film would be about the events leading up to the great flood in Genesis... where the demons cohabitated with human women and bore children... some crazy stuff there!

Brandon,

Are you refering to the Nephilim? Giants in the land? That would be so cool?

I'd consider doing 'This Present Darkness' by Frank Peretti.

I think it would be cool to re-make 'The Phantom of the Paradise'

 

[Brandon Rice]

Brandon,

Are you refering to the Nephilim? Giants in the land? That would be so cool?

Yep! The Nephilim! That would even be the title of the film!

 

[spidey]

survivor or choke by chuck p for novel.

remake hmmm interesting....well to save a few movies either oldboy, bittersweet life and battle royale.

comic book. either battle chasers or crimson since they will probli never be touched
crimson i would make it like dark city/matrix/contantine-esque

video game. well i would do metal gear but its alreay underway.... so i guess i would do the legend of zelda series

 

[-zach-]

Spidey - THAT'S RIGHT!

I was recently having a reminisce-fest with N64, and thought, wow, with big sweeping crane shots and decent FX, Ocarina of Time would be like, the perfect movie.

 

[They Live]

Is Halo still happening?

 

[Brandon Rice]

I hope not...

1. Terminator - Yeah yeah, James Cameron it's classic blah blabh bhalhb, but honestly I probably know more about the terminator films and mythos than Cameron does.

Yeah, based on that I don't know if you'd be the best man for the job. Kyle Reese more iconic than the Terminator?????? Come on. Don't get me wrong, he was badass, but seriously. How was he more iconic than the metal endoskeleton rising from the fire? Than the Terminator doing surgery on its eye? Than it dragging itself forward with one arm after having its lower half blown off? Than a naked Arnold approaching the punks (Bill Paxton), asking for their clothes, and proceeding to kill them all, one by punching through their torso.

Kyle knew how to make bombs with mothballs. He had PTSD. I'm not seeing the iconography.

 

[Tom Marshall]

Yeah... Arnold WAS the Terminator...
