Manga, anime, books, short stories, video games, etc

I would like a Vampire Hunter D movie. I love the anime and the books seem very interesting.

A Half-Life Movie franchise would be amazing.

Agree with Half-Life somewhat, although a movie of an already massively cinematic game may just cheapen the original experience.


Also, what if I pick like a book or a video game that wouldn't work as live action but would as an animated series or feature? Fuck it, I'm including those.

For my part:

Not specifically this Episode, but just Commander Keen in general.

Monkey Island could work either as a finite movie series that tries to translate the games (which wouldn't be so great IMO) or as an ongoing TV show. Animated preferable to live-action because of voice-casting continuities and inevitable comparisons to PotC.

Wouldn't mind seeing on-screen translations of Y: The Last Man (in the pipeline still?), Transmetropolitan, Preacher, and 100 Bullets. The last one would probably work really well as a TV show due to the way its constructed. In fact, all of those would probably work better as mini-series rather than stand-alone movies or trilogies or whatever.

I want to see 100 bullets as a tv show, Sandman as a 12 season HBO/ showtime show.

Raymond E. Feist's Riftwar Saga

That shit would be epic, and far better than Lord of the Rings.

Where, in a mermaid would you stick your penis?

And if your answer is mouth than you better go with a regular fish, considering what they do with their... umm, lips?

It's supposedly in the works, but I really want to see live-action Voltron.

Metal Gear wouldn't work.

Even Halo wouldn't work.

Anime doesn't work in live action. Ever.

The Boys, is the best option.

I'd like to see TMNT the original animated series turned into a live-action film. I want Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady.

Have to agree with these. The Boys would be great if they could get away with the inevitable NC-17 rating. Waaay too much drugs and buggery not to get anything below an R rating.

Monkey Island as an ongoing animated series, good lord yes.

Y: The last Man, 100 Bullets and Preacher as finite tv shows would be excellent. Transmetropolitan has to be a couple of films I think (then again I'm only up to issue 47).

In the two Bill and Ted movies, it was 80% of his lines.
