Unmade film requests

If you had a multi-million pound budget, your own studio and actors at your disposal, what would you make a film of? A sequel to something? A new concept?

How about: "Star Trek XIII - So Very Tired"
 
I'm a bit of a history / military buff so it'd have to be something along the lines of

either:

A historical epic about the fall of Constantinople to the Turks in 1453, made in the style of "Gladiator" and "Kingdon of Heaven" but without the currently en-vogue nausea-inducing, close-up, shakey camerawork in the battle scenes (why do they do that??!!)

or

a remake of the '60s war movie "Battle Of The Bulge" - historically accurate this time, though!
 
I wana make a new version of misery, except make it more accurate to the book and not have the crappy sherief bits but make it completely in the house, really claustraphobic.

I've also got an idea for something that'd either work well as a movie or a tv show which involves everyone dying in the first 10 minutes
 
I've read the book and when i saw the trailer for the new film with the spooky goings on i assumed, sorry about that. I'd like to see a proper fog movie too, although it might be a bit too graphic, even nowadays with the whole gym thing.
 
I would either make another version of Rollerball - but this time make it similar to the original in terms of action and storyline and not like the dire sequel. Or if not Rollerball, then perhaps a remake of A Clockwork Orange.
 
Remakes:

'A Clockwork Orange' directed by Quentin Tarantino :cool:

'Do AndroiRAB Dream Of Electric Sheep?' (basically a re-make of 'Bladerunner' that stays true to the book - we could sidestep the obvious actor issues with continuing the 'Bladerunner' series)

continuation of the films based on the Arthur C Clarke books;

'2061:Odyssey Three' & '3001:The Final Odyssey'

Bring the 'Neuromancer' & 'Virtual Light' trilogy (William Gibson) to the screen, but sheesh....make it better than 'Johnny Mnemonic' (NOT difficult).

Hollywood predictably continuing to raid the Philip K Dick back-catalogue, making 'Ubik' and 'Time Out Of Joint' next would be no bad thing....... :cool:

Edit: Forgot Clive Barker's 'Weaveworld' would make a good film too........

Any why has there not been a Star Trek:Voyager movie? :)
 
Millennium the Movie ;)

Anyone who has seen the TV show will know what i am on about :)

I would also love to carry on the Serenity and Firefly movies and tv show.
 
Just in the Sci-fi/Fantasy genre I would like to see Clive Barker's Weaveworld and Coldheart Canyon adapted for screen.

Same with Neil Gaiman's American GoRAB

Dean Koontz's Christopher Snow trilogy Fear Nothing, Seize the night and the unpublished book 3

Mitchell Smith's Stone City and Due North

Another Iain Bank's adaptation, this time to bigscreen, wouldn't go amiss either :)


Good idea with the William Gibson too...how ahead of their time are his books?!...even now.


I'm hoping Phillip Pullman's His dark materials trilogy will survive it's journey to screen un-bowlderised :rolleyes:


Filed under never-gonna-happen
I'd like the many books that make up George MacDonald Fraser's The Flashman papers filmed, or adapted for serial television
