What do you want to see as a movie?
 

<font color="#0080FF" face="Arial" Size="2">I've been thinking about all these tv shows, books, comics, etc being turned into movies so what would you guys like to see turned into a movie or if it's already being made then what are you looking forward to?

One for me would be an Angel movie although I would rather see the series be continued instead of a movie.

Ok. Go!</font>

Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus Shadow of the Colossus

Metal Gear or a Mr Rogers biopic, that would be pretty good.

A faithful, non-Americanized version of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy would've made my day. I suppose I can wait for a remake in 20 years or so.

MGS would be pretty awesome to see on the big screen, as long as they don't treat it like every other video game movie and hand it to some hack like Uwe Boll or Paul Anderson.

And I'd still like to see a well-done Captain America movie, now that the guy who got him killed is getting his own flick.

Guitar Hero. It could be about these wannabe guitarist (based on the in-game characters with Judy Nails as the primary) entering a Rock-Off competition for various personal reasons. Like Enter the Dragon meets School of Rock. The tournament would ofcourse feature covers of the game's soundtrack, or better yet a new soundtrack that a movie tie-in game could use. The premise writes itself.

The Spectre (based on volume 3) would make a pretty awesome movie if done right (ie, based on volume 3).

Let's see:

Hitchiker's Guide, a version that doesn't suck.

A Faithful version fo "The Shadow." I don't care if it's modernised, but let's make one that doesn't suck.

A big Budget Sherlock Holmes title. Preferably not Baskervilles or something that's been done to death.

The Dresden Files. There's a series, but the only thing is has in common with the series are the names. A Big Budget Storm Front would be kickass, but Summer Knight would be even better.

Tekkaman Blade. Tell the story in 3-4 movies, story arcs that can stand alone, but are part of a series.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Probably about 8 billion more.

Earthbound

Eyes of the Dragon (Steven King)

The Hobbit

New Orleans Saints 2006 season :shifty:

You know for some reason when you said that the movie Bratz appeared in my head.

Holy crap kalyx, of all the crazy, out of this world properties you could pick to make into a movie, you pick guitar hero. Your life must be very boring.

Fignuts The Movie

Smurfs

A Starcraft trilogy.

Pro Stars

John Woo is on the job with Red Cliff.

The Legend of Freaking Zelda.

The Life Story of Mos Def, starring Mos Def. So Mos Def can receive an Oscar cause he is so badass and deserves all sort of awards.

nah man the main character would have 0 lines bro

i guess you could make it a silent film, yeah that would be "bomb diggity" as the fignuts colony says

Youth in Revolt (a book by C.D. Payne)
Thundercats

Hell no to a Zelda movie.

It's not exactly an RoTK movie. It's in the same ballpark, and yet...

DeadPool
and Assasins Creed

You have no idea.

Perfect Dark needs a feature, or a TV show.

while i thought the orginal was pretty good id like to see the following thing done right on the silver screen....and this is a long time coming....

Super Fucking Mario Brothers (with that very title, to let you know this ones not fucking around)

Sounds like a porno movie sir...that gives me an idea for another thread.

Wouldn't work. Way to many characters and stories, would be 11 movies long. Not to mention that era is 113 years.

A Mario Bros. movie done in line with the games would make my head hurt. Though I'm honestly surprised it hasn't been attempted.

On a different note, I'd like to see someone do a really good King Arthur movie. No fucking around with the legend and making him Roman or some other stupid crap; just a solid adaptation of The Once and Future King or Morte d'Arthur would be nice.

HOLY SHIT apparently they are working on a film version of Youth In Revolt with Michael Cera as Nick Twisp. That is possibly the most amazing thing I have heard in a long time.

Chrono Trigger

I've always thought that would make a great movie.

On the Stephen King theme, a short story/novella he wrote as Richard Bachman, The Long Walk. As well as The Running Man (a version that actually followss the story and not that abortion that Arnie crapped out years ago)

Grand Theft Auto.

A faithful adaptation of Running Man would be awesome, but there's no way in hell that they'd go with the original ending these days.

OMG IT's IMPOSSIBLE!

Almost as hard as say, paring down the Sengoku Jiddai to a movie which managed to tell the whole story but focused on specific events.

Anf God, telling a movie as part of a series?

The problem with King Arthur is that the story has been told so often, people tend to try and "change" it. You know, to improve shit. Usually fails, but....

It's also not unsurprising that people would want to go to the Roman roots of Arthur, since a fair portion of the legend comes from them.

That being said, I'd really like a traditional Arthur.

However, if you're gonna go the route of a semi-historical Arthur, go for an adaptation of "Mad Merlin." I thoroughly enjoyed the book, which has no pretenses of historical accuracy, but uses a Roman and British backdrop.

It's a great story of tyranny and betrayal.. Prolly my favorite King book..

On a similar subject, they are in post production the short story he wrote called The Mist.. They shot it in Shreveport and I went in the grocery store set and got to see all the monsters and shit last time I was out there.. It was pretty sweet..

Cabal by Clive Barker would make a good movie..

Red Dwarf with the cast from the show
I'd say Hitman but they did that and it doesn't even seem to resemble the games at all.
I'd like an MGS movie aswell but I've lost faith in every seeing them do a decent VG movie.

I hope they never ever even attempt a Zelda movie. Not only would they give Link lines, I bet he would be American. So would Zelda and any other character except Ganondorf who would have either a Middle Eastern accent or an "evil genuis" English accent.

Well, considering Hyrule isn't a real place, where you want link to be from??

I'm sure that a Zelda movie could be pulled off, but I don't want to see it. I just can't see it living up to what I would expect.

Well a lot of the names and ideas are present in Celtic mythology so Scotland or something would be good.

Epona is a celtic goddess of horses, The deku tree is similair to a life giving tree in celtic myth, Zeldas clothing looks alot like the clothes the "Princess of Summer" was depicted wearing although sometimes it's changed to green. Zoras are in Scottish mythology but they are called Finfolk and even have the underwater palace but the ones in myth tend to kill fishermen. There are alot of other things but you know where I'm going with this. The characters could be Scottish or Irish or something.

There are Roman things in Zelda games as well but the Celtic stuff stands out more to me.

Touche'..

I want them to make a Treminator prequil that is just about the robot wars..

I agree totally with KK's idea of an RoTK movie. Personally, I'd love one that focuses on the 3 Brothers, Lu Bu/Diao Chan/Dong Zhuo, and Cao Cao.

Even more though, I'd absolutely love a movie based off the Suikoden video game (and the second one too.)

Unfortunately, it'd probably have to be done LotR style and done in 2 or 3, 3 hours movies, to be done properly. Since very few people know the game, it'd never work. I just think there's a lot of stuff, in both games, that would translate great to a movie.

The Deku Tree and Zoras connections can fir both into Roman mythology (Which you've already noticed a connection to anyway), several Native tribes, Norse mthology, and I think both exist in Japanese folklore.

Zelda also has many persian influences, as well as Indian. And probably DOZENS of others.

So remind me again...Why would he be Scottish?

Well, I'm not totally versed in every myth from every culture so I probably overlooked a few things. I read up on celtic stuff from time to time so thats the stuff that really stuck with me.
I think they've put in so many influences from so many cultures, you could probably see it fit whatever culture you prefer, almost.

It's just the forests, lakes, mountains and fields as well as certain peices of music, the green tunic and all the mythological similarities that I have and haven't mentioned have made me think Link would be Scottish or Irish.

Being the Zelda fanboy I am and having an interest in myths and legends, I've always wanted to see where each influence comes from but I've never gotten around to it.

I yearn for the traditional deserts and caverns of my homeland...

Superman is Dead: The Reign of the Supermen

-Film versions of Superboy, the Cyborg, Steel and the Eradicator fighting for control of Metropolis and recognition as THE superman, the destruction of the entire state of California (HAHAHAHA!!!) and the return of Superman would make this an incredible movie.


Siddhartha

-A filmic translation of Hermann Hesse's masterwork.


Walt Disney's "Nightmare"

-An old-school, hand-drawn animated feature film starring all of Disney's famous characters (Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Pluto, Goofy, Donald Duck) in a murder mystery similiar to "SCREAM," where all of the characters are brutally and gruesomely murdered, except for Mickey, who is left to solve the case and catch the killer.


Snakes on a Plane

-They should make a movie about these terrorists putting these huge snakes on an airplane, and because it's an airplane, there's no way to get out, and the snakes are evil and venomous and lots of people get bitten and eaten and die, and a quick-talking black dude saves the day at the end. That would be sooooooo keeewwl.

I smell blockbuster.

Goats on a Boat

The Destroyer: Now, there have already been two Hllywood adaptations of the franchise, in the movie "Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins" and a TV series also named for the main character. However, with like, a thousand novels, it's worth seeing the Franchise live on film again.

For once I agree with Assman about something. Shadow of the Colossus would be pretty sweet.

The Fresh Prince of Bel Air

Living Single

Recast with cameos from the original series.

BTW:

Sitcoms totally suck these days. Friends was the last great sitcom. Everything now is laughtrack garbage.

MGS
Thundercats
Captain America ( A decent one )


An A-Team, movie could work 2, i could see Jim Carrey as Murdock and i think Johnny Depp could pull off a good Face.

Wasn't there an A-Team movie in the works?

Dunno, could work out pretty well, imo.

But one of the actors i have to see in the movie (if it is in the works), cause i think he could put down a great performance is Jim Carrey as Murdock.

I dunno why, but I'm seriously :rofl: at the mere thought. Just seeing all this Hollywood hype over Overton and Sinclair.

I want to see Metal Gear and Broken Sword. Looked it up just now and apparently both are in the works. They better not screw them up

There are many games out there with superior stories to 90% of the films being made today....so i could pick some of them. Only problem is when they convert them to film they end up sucking, which is rather annoying.

I would love to see a Deus Ex film though, if they styled it correctly and didn't aim it a retards. And a decent Star wars film that was set way back when, that would be nice....in fact what is going on with the TV series that is always mentioned?...i'm gonna investigate.

I want a better version of Dr. Strange.

That's all I could think of for now.

Vampire Hunter D - But they would probably mess it up :(

Cowboy Bebop - I think it would be cool movie if they got the right actors and director.

The Age Of The Apocalypse storyline

Or Civil War

Twisted Metal!

If that was made into a movie, it would probably have a good guy vs. bad guy storyline to it. If I made it that way, I'd have guys like Sweet Tooth, Darkside, Mr. Grimm, Hammerhead, Crimson Fury, and Yellow Jacket be bad, and Spectre, Warthog, Outlaw, Minion, Pit Viper, and Thumper be good. And have Thumper win in the end. And his ultimate wish: Get rid of Axel, place himself in the machine, get Twister, the race car driver girl, and lock her in the SIXTY NINE POSITION ON THE SAME WHEEL and they'll be stuck there forever.

Burger Time should definitly be a movie.

I thought Civil war too, owuld never happen obviously but would be cool. WWHULK would be even better :)

No way would a Metal Gear movie be any good. A miniseries, maybe, but only around 3 hours to explain the story on film? No way.

Days Of The Future Past too

There's alot of X-Men stuff that would make good movies, or atleast a basis for a special series.

And I'd rather see a Civil War trilogy than an Avengers movie any day.

I'd rather see an Annihilation movie than a Civil War movie. The story would make for a better film I think. Civil War would need some changes before I would put it on a screen.

A bio of Curtis Warren (aka the UK's most famous drugs baron), shot fully in Liverpool, with a proper local cast and scripted by Jimmy McGovern and Alan Bleasdale



ps - this will never happen, but it would be amazing if done right

Mike Tyson's Punch Out

Devil May Cry

A remake of the Goonies.

With Jim Carry as Sloth and John Goodman as Chunk. Sean Astin can have the same part and get Jet Li For the Chinese kid.....

Man that would be SWEET!

Yeah, it's obviously fan made but I thought it was still pretty good.

Devil May Cry.

MegaMan The Movie!!! :shifty:

I just recentilly read the first volume of the marvel runaways series and while not the best comic i have read (it was entertaining though) the whole thing just screams movie to me.

The premise is that 6 kids find out that they parents are all supervillians part of a organisation called the pride. They go into hiding while trying to figure out how to put thier parents away for good.

The first arc is perfect for a two hour movie. First 45 minutes can be introducing the main players and how they found out about thier parents. The middle movie can be a fight scene with the parents plus some more character development and the final scene can be the long withdrawn showdown with thier parents.

And the story contains some perfect visuals to attract the kiddies. One kid is a witch, one is a multi coloured alien and another character own a dinosaur as a pet. The kiddie brigade will eat this up in droves

GI Joe (human charaters)

oh shit they're are already plans for GI Joe
