Movies only you think are a good idea

Well, sinced we have one for videogames, I thought it only fair to do a thread like this for movies too. H Ere's my idea: An animated film based on John Hodgman's book "Areas Of My Expertise" done by Hayo Miyazaki. Yes, it would be hard for there to be an animated film based on an almanac, but I think that you could easily put together a great story using several elements from the book (Like the 51st State of AR and the Hoboes), and I would love to see how Miyazaki put the elements together to make an excellent, visually astounding film.

So, what are your ideas?

Following a young boy infected with hives as he tries to live the life of a Rwandan Child Soldier.

A movie detailing the inefficiencies of Burmese genocide and why simply breeding with the minority and easing there influence from historical records is a better way to get rid of them.

Kung Fu Dracula.

A biopic about Two-Gun Cohen. The world needs more movies about Jewish-Canadian (okay, just barely, but he counts!) badasses who go to China.

On a similar note, this. I would watch the shit out of this, and not just because of this.

A CGI Sonic The Hedgehog

a live-action Pokemon

not a Pokemon based on the anime or the manga, but one based on the game itself

^ that's the best idea ever.

A high-budget Super Sentai in the style of Speed Racer.

Ooh, someone else has heard about Two Gun Cohen. I think Steven Soderbergh would be good to direct since he's made a lot of good films about quirky people, often with a connection to espionage/behind-the-scenes kind of things.

^^^I've written a screenplay

An adaptation of Anno Dracula.

Or hell, more movies based on Two-Fisted Tales.

A remake of Billy The Kid Versus Dracula. It's a pretty mediocre movie, but that may very well be one of the best movie premises I've ever heard. It just needs to get much better acting, writing, directing, and special effects than the original.

A live-action Batman Beyond movie, with Will Friedle reprising the role of Terry Mc Ginis, Adam West as Old Bruce, Michael Keaton as Batman in flashbacks, and Jack Nicholson as the Joker.

Nuclear Pony in the Salad Kingdom

A Superman movie that stars Casey Affleck as Brainiac

Any classic story, as acted by kittens. Frankenstein...with kittens! Pride and Prejudice...with kittens! And so on.

The Brain That Wouldn't Die remade as a musical.

A film version of My Immortal done in the style of Ed Wood's films. That would be hillarious, although I don't know if JK Rowning would let anybody make it without slapping a cease and desist order on it.

Ed Wood is Orson fucking Welles comared to whatever stupid c-word wrote that shit

however, I could see it being done off-Broadway, similar to A Very Potter Musical

Horse-Thief Jack, the movie. He was a horribly violent horse thief (funnily enough) who gathered a gang as he got kicked out of every town from Loredo, Texas to outside Mansfield, Ohio. In one of the largest gun battles ever t otake place in Richland County, OH, his entire gang was wiped out, and he himself was shot 7 times. He dragged himself at least a mile through the woods to a cave, where he killed and decapitated two hunting dogs and a grown man. The kicker? After throwing the three heads out of the cave to taunt the waiting posse, the posse went back into town, gathered as much dynamite as they could carry, and blew the fuck out of that goddamn cave, which collapsed. Surveyors about 200 years later when plans were being made for a camp around that site investigated the remains of the cave and found two charred human skeletons (one headless), two canine skeletons (both headless), and a bunch of lead bullets below the intact skeltons. Fuck yeah.

Epic Mickey: The Motion Picture

A well done remake of Manos The Hands Of Fate with an all star-cast. I want to see if it can be made good.

Also, I want Johnny Depp to play Torgo.

Live-action Baccano, possibly directed by Tarantino.

Or is that actually a good idea in general? Don't want to derail the topic with discussion of that, though...

@Raven Wilder: You can get some more of that western/monster mash with Jesse James Meets Frankensteins Daughter. An under-appreciated film if ever there was.

And by under-appreciated, I of course mean a film no sane man would watch, which is why I am no longer sane. (Which is of course a lie, I was insane well before watching it).

On topic: A Darker and Edgier crossover movie, all CGI. The participants? The Care Bears and Rainbow Brite, in an all out battle for control of the rainbow, and the hearts of humanity. The literal hearts.

FATAL The Movie.
