If you won the right to get any movie pitch made into a blockbuster...

...what would you pitch? No limitations.

I'd probably demand a crossover between Inception and The Sandman.

I'd want a proper Dante's Inferno movie. Or a movie of The Sandman.

Why not the whole Divine Comedy?

Because Paradiso was so boring

Toss-up between the lawyer run of She-Hulk, Justice League International / Superbuddies, or my own original concept black comedy/fantasy about a girl who may or may not be a fairy.

A movie that's a cross between the LOTR trilogy, Metroid Prime, and Final Fantasy 7 for no reason other than I want to see what the end result would be like.

If it's just a single property and something I actually feel passionate about...I think a Metroid film would actually be nice idea if done well.

Three-and-a-hAlf hours of paint drying. I would win so many awards.

Project One Fifty Four.

That is, my novel-in-progress thing.

A two-hour fuck you to audiences.

A movie of one of the Gaunt's Ghosts novels. Either Necropolis or Only in Death.

Probably Necropolis, because that was a Crowning Book of Awesome.

Buscemi: So basically, you want a feature length Uwe Boll film?

Either the book I am working on now....or Ender's Game.

Either a big budget adaption of Gene Wolfe's The Shadow of the Torturer, or failing that, what ever I happen to have for bearkfast that day.

Flapjacks: the musical

No, more like a big-budget Michael Haneke film.

Hmm...I have two.

1. An movie that is on big FUCK YOU/Take That! to Zombie Apocalypse genre, like showing how anyone who actually gets bitten zombies deserve it and all.

2. Westernized Neon Genesis Evangelion.

I wouldn't, because Executive Meddling would probably ruin it.

I think the right includes the ability to say "Fuck you" to executives as well.

Freaking Whedon Mega Crossover. I don't know how but Buffy (whole cast), Firefly (whole cast), Horrible (Just NPH) and The Avengers doing... something.

Ah of course. Really, without this right, he wouldn't even be able to direct another movie (yeah, I heard the avengers movie and well, don't have much faith now) anyways.

No offense to his capacity; it's just that his works, after Buffy, just are not profittable.

I agree. Nothing past Buffy's sold. Which depresses me when it's probably one of the few well-written things on TV.

Horrible 2 may get a theatrical release though.

I don't think I've ever seen any Joss Whedon movie or show, though this is getting kinda off-topic.

I never watched any of his stuff, but judging by you people's reaction (oh hell, this site itself is created by his fan, no?), it should be a Cash-Cow Franchise but am actually surprised that the main series (you know the one) got cancelled the movie lost money.

Then again, space western does sound like a bullshit idea, if you ask me.

Indeed it is. My apologies.

A movie adaptation of Warcraft I: Orcs and Humans.

I was so pissed off when I found out that the (eventual) Warcraft movie will be based on the WoW-era rather than anything related to the RTS games.

His work's on Netflix streaming. But yeah this is off-topic.

What else would I like?

Can we just get our Zelda movie? Give it to someone with a real knowledge of fantasy and a vision?

I was just thinking Warcraft before I decided Zelda actually.

Can I hire Joss Whedon and make him direct Serenity 2?
