Movies YOU wished were being made

I want to see a big screen version of the cheesy 'save the planet' cartoon, Captain Planet, that I used to watch when I was a kid (before I graduated to X-Men). Yes, it was crap. But someone's got to jump on the superhero/comic book bandwagon and make this, right?

In total agreement.

Booker T : The Musical

i wish following should be made
1.bourne 4
2.clerks 3
3.batman 3
4.incredibles 2

And that's probably best for everyone...

I'd love to see novels by Paolo Coehlo translated into film as well as other novels by Nicholas Sparks. I heard Veronika Decides to Die already has a film version.. I want to see that and The Alchemist. Oh, The Alchemist....

Live action Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.

After reading the first volume of Preacher, I'd be very interested to see anyone try and adapt it to the big screen...

For me, The Sight, I love that book so much and would love to see it as a film.
Also the anime, Wolf's Rain, that would be awesome too...The Eragon movie wasn't nearly as good as the book, so no Eldest...

I'd love to see a movie adaptation of Charles Bukowski's Ham on Rye.

Also the Ware cyberpunk series (Software, Wetware, Freeware and Realware) by Rudy Rucker.

Plus I second Iro's Escape From Earth suggestion. I'd love to see Snake in action one more time, and think the title would work well considering how Escape from LA ended.

A decent remake of the 80's robot slasher Chopping Mall would be cool too.

Yes! Or a Post Office adaptation.

I'd also like to see someone attempt to adapt Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow. I'm sure if they ever attempted to do it they'd completely mess it up, but who knows......

I'm still waiting on an adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's Survivor.

There is a Ulysses adaptation that was made relatively recently called Bloom.

There are a couple of adaptations of The Trial: one with Anthony Perkins by Orson Welles filmed in the Sixties and another with Kyle Maclachlan by Harold Pinter filmed in the Nineties.

There is a German language film of The Castle by Michael Haneke circa 1997. You will find it under Das Schloss in the imdb.

An adaptation of Amerika is in development and if you are up for the experimental there are all kinds of Kafka related short films on Youtube.

All that being said.....

I always thought Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon would make a good tv mini-series. It has a lot of visual and filmic elements. The death of the mother as the red felt rose petals she makes to eke out a living rain down and the hunt the young city slicker goes on with the local yokels when he goes into the country to escape the cops are two of the episodes that made me want to see this as a film.

I want to see a Hubert Selby Jr. adaptation with Michael Pitt in it.

I also want to see a European arthouse film with Leonardo DiCaprio in it.
