Your Dream Movie?

What movie have you always wanted to see made? Why here is a director and actor working together, or a plot and genre mixup, or just a crazy idea that you've always wanted on the silver screen. This is the place for you to drop your creativity bomb.

Re: Your Dream Movie?

My dream movie is anything that stars Joaquin Phoenix and Leonardo DiCaprio. I really want to see those two share the screen.

Re: Your Dream Movie?

I can say, I've had this movie sitting in my head for a couple months now and it's beyond intricate.

The director is Alexander Payne, because he can handle drama well. I'd want him and someone else to help helm his writing because this movie is very dialogue heavy.

This idea is that a very disfunctional and abusive family gets together for a funeral and then proceeds to get snowed in their old childhood home. It's a lot of talking and back and forth about what really happened in the family and revelations about divorce and abuse and lots of good actors.

Patrick Miller (Mark Ruffalo) and Sarah Miller (Kate Winslet) are the main couple with their son, Nicholas Miller (Jacob Tremblay). The daughter in the family, Rebekah Miller (Naomi Watts) and her unwedded wife Amelia Chase (Alicia Vikander) are a lesbian couple, this brings a lot of contention into the parents due to them being very against it. The mother of the family, Abigail Miller, (Meryl Streep, I guess. this was a hard choice) is a very loving woman who does her best to care for her kids while at the same time loving her abusive husband Richard Miller (Jeff Bridges, older actors are hard picks). The father very much bonded with his trouble making son, Dean Miller (Paul Dano), who no one in the family likes or respects. And his ex wife and child, Mary West (Kathrine Waterson) and Thomas West (Logan Lerman), have become a staple love of the Miller family, and they stick around much against Dean's wishes.

A Stanley Kubrick directed movie about The Trial of Socrates starring Burt Lancaster as Socrates.

I remembered I made a really crappy poster for that film idea I had,

I have a couple of standard answers for this question.

Many years ago, I read a novel called The Frontrunner about a gay track coach who falls in love with one of his runners. There were rumors for a short time of a movie and that Paul Newman was considering playing the coach but it never came to fruition.

I would like to see the musical Guys and Dolls remade...I have a myriad of problems with the 1955 film version, primarily some odd casting choices and the butchering of Frank Loesser's original score. I think Hugh Jackman would make an awesome Sky Masterson.

I would also like to see Joaquin Phoenix and Kate Winslet make a movie together.

Quills?

Re: Your Dream Movie?

Gideon58 - As Camo said, Winslet and Phoenix have already worked together in Philip Kaufman's Quills, from 2000. It's my favorite movie.

I'd love to see them work together again, though.

I will definitely have to check it out, I had no idea.

Re: Your Dream Movie?

I think if Paradise Lost and Dante's Inferno were done right, they'd be terrific films :love:

I'll be interested to see what you think of that one.

Re: Your Dream Movie?

After watching Band of Brothers a couple months ago I've been thinking a lot and even read other people with a similar idea of a gritty, realistic Star Wars film from a spin-off angle (much like the three upcoming ones). Essentially the viewpoint of a group of non-force wielding fighters from the Star Wars universe, take your pick who.

Clones (Prequel era)
Storm Troopers (OT, post OT era)
Rebels (OT, post OT era)
Smugglers/Pirates (All eras)
Bounty Hunters (All eras)

Re: Your Dream Movie?

2 hours of Farrah Fawcett (circa 1976) sitting on a beach in a bikini eating bacon

( I would watch the 3-hour directors cut too)

A summer camp comedy about a group of adorable, sassy tween girls who start their own summer camp with no boys allowed and no adult supervision.

Re: Your Dream Movie?

A Lee Chang-Dong film about fatherhood.

Re: Your Dream Movie?

I already got it: Jacob's Ladder. If I have a dream movie idea, I'll typically make it myself.

Having said that, I would love it if we got an FF7 trilogy directed by Hideaki Anno.

I want someone to finally make a film based on the Stephen King short story The Long Walk - it keeps on getting talked about, and always about to be made, but I've been waiting my whole life and still nothing.

Re: Your Dream Movie?

I have wondered how "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" would have ended up had John Cassavetes directed it.

Big fan of this book as well. If Wikipedia is to be believed, André Øvredal (Trollhunter, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark) will direct an adaptation, but that was four years ago.
In the meantime, I recommend listening to the audiobook if you haven't already. Kirby Heyborne is an excellent narrator.

Re: Your Dream Movie?

The movie I want to see the most is something that fits in with The Wizard Of Oz, Labyrinth, The Never Ending Story, Legend and so forth. Not a sprawling epic like Lord of the Rings. Something new, mysterious, primal, ethereal without the standard elves and goblins. Something as good as Oz or Labyrinth without rehashing old plots and characters.

Tarantino doing an actual horror movie. Maybe paying heavy homage to Hammer horror.

Re: Your Dream Movie?

I have always thought Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon would make a good movie or limited series. It has some very cinematic moments like when the felt rose petals fall from the sky and when the city guy who is on the lam goes hunting with the country men.

The Legend of Zelda movie directed by Peter Jackson😭😢

...or, Rob Zombie making a Jeremiah Johnson movie called: Liver-Eater Johnson

A B-Movie reboot of Cadillacs and Dinosaurs.

I would have really liked to see Zombie’s remake of The Blob, but that, sadly, never materialized.

God willing.

Best I can do is GPT

Title: "Bloody Requiem"

Genre: Horror/Thriller

Synopsis: "Bloody Requiem" is a chilling horror film that merges the distinctive style of Quentin Tarantino with the tension and terror of the genre. Set in a small, isolated town in the American Midwest during the 1970s, the story follows a group of strangers whose lives intertwine amidst a series of gruesome events that unfold over a single night.

Plot: The film opens with a mysterious woman, Alice, stumbling upon a desolate gas station on the outskirts of the town. The owner, Sam, a wise-cracking, enigmatic character, welcomes her with suspicion. Unbeknownst to Alice, the gas station is a front for a deeply sinister operation. As she fills up her car, she discovers a hidden basement where innocent people are held captive, tormented, and eventually killed. Alice becomes determined to expose this horrifying secret.

Meanwhile, a charismatic ex-preacher, Jacob, arrives in town seeking redemption for his violent past. Haunted by his own demons, he inadvertently gets caught up in Alice's mission as they cross paths at a local bar. Together, they form an unlikely alliance, embarking on a blood-soaked journey to uncover the truth behind the gas station's dark secret.

As the night progresses, the duo encounters a cast of eccentric and morally ambiguous characters, including a disillusioned sheriff with a twisted sense of justice, a seductive but deadly femme fatale who manipulates her victims, and a mysterious drifter with a tragic past. These characters bring their own agendas, secrets, and desires to the table, each contributing to the escalating chaos and violence.

Tarantino's signature nonlinear storytelling style is employed to create a sense of unease and unpredictability. The narrative jumps back and forth, revealing character backstories and intertwining plotlines that slowly converge towards a climactic and visceral showdown at the gas station.

In true Tarantino fashion, "Bloody Requiem" is characterized by intense and stylized violence. The gore is presented with a unique blend of dark humor and brutal realism, delivering shocking and visceral moments that simultaneously repulse and captivate the audience.

The film's cinematography emphasizes the tension, utilizing long, atmospheric takes and dynamic camera movements. Tarantino's love for dialogue-driven scenes is apparent, with the characters engaging in compelling and often witty conversations that serve to develop their motivations and personalities.

The soundtrack of "Bloody Requiem" is an eclectic mix of eerie and haunting melodies, reminiscent of classic horror films. It heightens the suspense and amplifies the impact of each terrifying moment, contributing to the overall atmosphere of dread.

"Bloody Requiem" is a nightmarish and unsettling horror film that showcases Quentin Tarantino's distinct directorial style while immersing the audience in a world of violence, vengeance, and dark secrets. It stands as a chilling testament to the twisted imagination of one of cinema's most provocative filmmakers.
