what would you like to see made into a move? or re-made?
 
one of the disadvantages to not having regular TV..i dont get to find out what movies are coming out.

i just drove by a theater on a road trip and saw they made Ghost in a Shell into a movie. i've watched all the anime, and it is damn complicated..and good. i cant admit i understand all of it. i dont mind how hollywood has sat on their asses and just recycled stories..some are great.

what else? i would like to see a big blockbuster remake of Battlestar Gallatica. or six million dollar man..hahah.

of course six mill is chump change now.

and remake DUNE so we can get it.

The Phillip Kerr - Bernie Gunther novels make into well done BBC series

Dune. It's a great book (forget all of the half-ass sequels).

No sound guns, just tell the story. It'd probably have to be 3 movies to cover all of the material. Did I mention that none of the sequel books should be made into movies?

Isn't a remake of Dune in pre-production?

I'd like to see Hyperion adapted. Given how the story is framed, it would probably have to be a high budget mini-series though.

I think a movie based on the life and exploits of Moe Berg would be interesting. If you don't know who he is or what he did during WWII, look him up.

A BSG movie could be a blockbuster. Most likely would have to be a reboot with different actors set more towards the beginning of the journey. Past the events of Caprica.

I Robot or Bicentennial Man.

Only follow the book! Don't make up a 100% new story that is completely unrelated except for the title of the movie.

Yes, I, Robot told following Isaac Asimov's book. Then, I’d like to see these Asimov novels turned into movies. They all tie together and would make (IMO) a great series of movies along the lines of Star Wars, Star Trek, the Hobbit/Lord of the Rings, or the Harry Potter series.

Hey, isn't Jack Olson a screenwriter? He needs to write some of these novels into screenplays! :D

I think Jack mentioned he's more into crime writing...

Jim Richards 04-12-2017 09:41 AM

The Robot series stars a police detective who starts out on a murder investigation...

Probably the greatest scifi series I've ever read is Jack Campbell's Lost Fleet Series. And I've been a rabid reader for almost forty years.

So if it wasn't impossible to screw it up I'd like to see that on the big screen.-WW

Batman, Superman, King Kong

Dottore and I corresponded on McCarry's books.

The Star Wars prequels.
I'm convinced there's a good story buried under the crap acting and crap directing.

The Battle of Britain, flying tigers, etc have the opposite problem. They're great movies that could be improved with CG dogfights.


Any Larry Correia book.

Ever try the No Cheese version on You Tube ? No Jar Jar or goofy stuff.
