What movie do you want to see made?

[GSF]

All this talk about new films gave me the idea to start a thread about that great movie idea you've always had. I've been thinking about mine a lot lately with the upcoming "Lincoln", which looks awesome.

I have always hoped for an epic film about the American Revolution and the stories of the Founding Fathers. A little nerdy I know, but I've always loved early American history, and I think the story could be an awesome film or series of films if done right. What's your idea for a great movie?

First, some sci-fi/fantasy stuff:

The Foundation Trilogy (the original three novels--Isaac Asimov)---a big time wish for me.

The Lensman saga (E.E. "Doc" Smith)--the great space opera epic before Star Wars and could have been the template for it in every way.

The Horeclans saga (Robert Adams)--a great post-Apocalypse story spanning centuries of a rebuilding national and global civilization with every stage of development along the way, including isolated pockets that aren't regressed but remain hidden, with immortals, warriors of all kinds, mutants (including intelligent telepathic Sabre tooth tigers) and one major figure of Conan-scale (Bili The Axe) and a semi-benign Machiavellian figure (Milo Morai)who lives forever and ties it all together.

The Dorsai saga--(Gordon Dickson) The ultimate strain of a warrior society with advanced intellect and vision who place honor and principle above all and spread throughout the galaxy.

Have some more non sci-fi later.

Oliver Stone's Obama- It's time for a movie about him.

I think a movie about Andrew Jackson could be very good

Also I want to see a film adaptation of In The Heart Of The Sea

CAIN by James Byron Huggins

MEG by Steve Alten

I would love for Christian Bale to play the lead in CAIN as Solomon.

I would love Liam Neeson to play the lead in MEG as Dr. Jonas Taylor.

Cloud Atlas was always one and I'm glad it has been getting good reviews. I plan on watching it soon.

Brave New World is another I'd like to see. I know Ridley Scott took it on a few years back but I don't think they've even started production yet.

Justice League.

Abraham Lincoln as a vampire hunter would be bad ass.

I'd love to see a movie about the Culper Ring, a little known part of our history regarding intelligence gathering during our declaration of independence from Britain well into the revolutionary war.

This would make for a GREAT mini series...

[Mr. Sinister]

I've also thought about a movie on the life of Andrew Jackson. To be any good, however, it would probably have to be a big mini-series, or one long ass movie.

A movie on the Dyatlov Pass incident.

A big time CGI'd Metal Gear movie, featuring a non canon (but still badass) story, or loosely borrowing elements from the three canon game adaptations, but going with a different plot.

Either a Star Wars prequel (to Episode I), or a a trilogy set after Return Of The Jedi.

A movie on the Pompeii eruption, with the actual eruption itself being secondary to the story, kind of how Titanic was done.

I like the ideas about the Founding Fathers and the Revolution. That is probably my favorite historical time period. Even though the movie isn't very good, I like to watch The Patriot simply due to the time period. Cool ideas.

Neil Gaiman's The Sandman,, but i don't think it can be done.
