What would it be about? Who would you want to be in it?
I think I would go for a horror movie, but in a fantasy setting. Maybe a bunch of adventurers or merc's go dungeoneering, so it would start out very much like a classic 70's/80's D&D adventure. They'd find out about a treasure horde from an old map held by a crazy old man who claims to have been an adventurer in his youth. At least until he took an arrow in the knee and had to retire... Anyway, once they are in the dungeon, they find themselves trapped and slowly being picked off one by one by the inhabitants who were waiting for them. It rapidly becomes obvious it is a trap and a variety of horrific monsters are hunting them, rather than them killing the usual Orc's and Goblin's. They are herded deeper and deeper into the complex until the face the final villain and the real reason they have been brought here.
I'd have the head of the party played by a woman. Maybe Gina Carano. She has the physicality to be a warrior and actually has some good acting chops. Sean Connery (in his 30's) would play her right-hand man. The old man with the map, who turns out to be the main villain at the film's climax would be played by Peter Cushing. I'd get a young Ridley Scott to direct it.
Post apocalyptic hallucinogenic steam punk sci-fi western fantasy, and I would use local talent.....
What? What??? :question: :smile:
There's a SA book called Ons Wag Op Die Kaptein [We Await The Captain] which I would like to make a film of as well as making the film of the WW2 thriller The Lonely Skier by Hammond Innes. I started writing a script of it years ago but never finished it.
Sex and Sexability, because I think Austen has been ignored for too long by the adult film industry. Plus all my actors would be Laotians playing Jews and I'd set it in Nazi Germany. I would use an alien invasion as a metaphor for Elinor's longing, and the aliens would be played by children in dog costumes. Colonel Brandon would be played in silence, with the actor conveying meaning by emoting, much as silent movie actors once did. Also the youngest Dashwood sister would be naked throughout but no one would seem to notice or think anything about it.
I think it'd be better than most of what Hollywood puts out.
After S&S made me rich I'd make an Austen film again called Pussuasion, and the cast would be cats in estrus running around Lyme and Bath mating with one another to the soundtrack of Aretha Franklin.
Another sure winner.

I should have expected someone to go for porn. Must be slipping. It did make me smile though.
I really thought about this...
A big pin-head deformed dimwit lives in an old outhouse in the woods. At the bottom of the toilet hole is a pool of mucky water. Inside it lives a mutant fish that tells him to kill people, and bring the guts to him.
That's as far as I've got. :bluesad:

Sounds good so far. I look forward to reading more. Hell, with your artistic skills, you should story board it.
^ Funny you should say that! Because it's actually the start of a comic story I started drawing about 1983, and never finished. :bouncegiggle:

Do it! :smile:
^ Well, since I quit drinking whiskey, I been doodling-getting my hand back in shape. I ain't really drawn since about 2008. But it's like riding a bike. Something you can do without really thinking too much about it. Plus I'm going to finally buy a new copy/printing machine. I ain't had one in about 10 years. Yeah...I been getting the old itch to draw back. :thumbup:
i'd make a movie about a family who makes friends with the pukwudgies and elder spirits in the bridgewater triangle where i grew up. that's as far as i've gotten, not sure if it should be horror, comedy or straight up fantasy.
Mine would be a throwback to 1970s drive-in movies like LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT, I DRINK YOUR BLOOD and BARN OF THE NAKED DEAD. Low budget in a rural setting.

You could combine all three of those into the title. Nice ring to it. :teddyr:
With the upcoming exploitation (and, thanks to the perverted fat bastard of Martin, destruction) of the fantasy genre, I would like to be part of it just to maintain its essence. Amazon is bent on massacring THE LORD OF THE RINGS and THE WHEEL OF TIME, and it won't stop there. I just hope DRAGONLANCE never gets touched by its deadly, uncreative, and greedy hand.
My personal wish is to be part of a WARCRAFT movie, in order to mantain the awesomeness of the first one, although I prefer for it to be left alone so they don't f**k it up. The same goes for BALDUR'S GATE, because Jon Irenicus deserves all the respect possible.
I've wanted to make a movie since at least 2nd grade. The earliest idea I remember involved a computer coming to life & taking over the school. It could overload electrical circuits to cause lightning bolts to shoot out of electrical outlets.
Another early idea: A school with a haunted wing, closed off & unused. Unless a teacher told a student to go down there.
Later, when I was 9 or 10, I came up with an idea for a space movie: astronauts must track down a radio signal which has been messing up things on Earth. They discover an alien civilization just beyond Pluto, where an alien who looks like Watto from Star Wars Episode 1 sells them a star ship that's the functional equivalent of a DC-3. Reliable, but too old to be valuable. They continue to track the signal to an evil alien.
More recently, I'd like a good remake of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World, versions of Edgar Rice Burrows Beyond 30 & The Lad & the Lion, & Edmond Hamilton's City at World's End. I'd also like to make a movie or two based off some comics I've done.
I don't really care who's in it; whoever would do a good job, would be pleasant to work with, & wouldn't ask for too much money would be fine.
But when would I have time or money to actually do any of this?
It would be one of two things.
1. My own original daikaiju creations
or
2. A modern spiritual sequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit?. Humans and clearly animated characters living together. And not a children's movie specially. Making it a lot darker for an older audience. PG-13 rated probably.
