Films You Wish Would Get Made

I've always wanted to direct a film (but I wouldn't know the first thing about how to go about it). One film in particular; a film version of Tony Hawks' book 'Round Ireland with a Fridge.' I'd have Tony and Gerry Ryan playing themselves and a cast of relative unknowns playing everyone Tony met in that one month.

Right, back to work...
 
Metal Gear Solid but not bloodty CGI real people doing real stunts. But I hear this is being made at some point anyway.
 
Agree with that:) Also like Meg (steve alten book)to be made, apparantly its stuck in development hell at the minute, and Good Omens.
 
Twelve months ago I would have said Stephen King's The Mist but it's finally getting made. Hurrah!
A decent version of Salem's Lot would be welcome too.
 
Red Dwarf - no, not the series! I'd like to see adaptations of the latter two, darker novels that don't follow canon but do have the potential for good action scenes.
 
Deadpool. A Marvel superhero. The guy has super powers like Wolverine but is great with martial arts and weapons. He also has a damaged persona due to the fact he had cancer and was physically scarred by the super syrum Wolverine was injected with
 
The problem with Dwarf is that you have to have ALL the series characters in the movie. The series is too character driven. For example look at the american remake. The americans seemed to think that Dwarf was centred around Kryten. They got Robert Lewellyn in with a bunch of american actors playing the UK counterparts and the series died after the pilot. Dwarf is totally character driven. To make a movie is very difficult
 
I would like to see adaptations of Camus's 'A Happy Death' 'The Plague' and 'The Outsider'
I would also like to see 'Bollywood Dreams' which was planned.
 
Sorry to disappoint you but that page is from 2003:p I stopped paying attention to any rumours of the movie going ahead a long time ago. It's actually a good thing it's never going to happen, because the premise was to have it entirely American-centric and the brit characters would play a small part against a backdrop of some sort of intergalactic war.

SounRAB terrible, right? Which is why if a movie had to be made, I'd base it on the novels. Since they're so starkly different to the series, the characterisation is different too, it wouldn't have to strictly follow the accepted version of events. Look at Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, that changed all sorts of things from the series but it still worked.
 
God bless you, man!

I loved that show, although every now and again Sam Raimi would screw up and try to be FUNNY and it didn't work, and quite detracted from an otherwise quality show.

A bit like what he's just pulled with Spidey 3 - WTF?:eek: I want my money back, Raimi!!!
