If you could make a movie/tv show what would it be about or what would it be based on?

Loads of half or 3/4 fully conceptualized screenplays in my head on various things, a lot of Satanic Panic, psych horror, and crime.

But for a much more concise, albeit pedestrian answer, I want to do Night of the Living Dead with some demographic swapping around. Johnny and Barbara as azns, Ben as a white good ol' boy, the Coopers, Tom, and Judy as black.
 
I'd like to see Jurassic Park re-imagined as a 9 episode mini series that was closer to the book. More time flesh out the opinions and world views of the characters and more intense horror elements. Every time I watch the original movie since reading the book I'm kind of stunned how much is skipped over.

I also had another idea a while back about a realistic super hero story set during the Renaissance era. There's be also sorts of wacky gadgets and inventions like the ones Leonardo da Vinci had drawn plans for. The villian would be heavily based the French revolutionary Maximilien Robespierre (I realize that he's from a completely different time period) who wants to use science and technology to re-organize society to what he sees fit. Don't know if that would make for a good show or a movie but I'd just like to see a story like that.

A 12 episode mini series adaptation of the first 2 Darksiders games would be easy to pull of. Maybe even mix some Genesis or Darksiders 3 content into - and I mean a good adaptation.
Same goes for Resident Evil 1-3. You just need competent writers who watch a video about the Resident Evil timeline in order to not make a disabled mash-up of it - like the last movie.

Resurrecting the thread (apologies):

*A fair take on the confederacy, both sides;
*A WWII series, showing all sides of the war, akin to Band of Brothers, The Pacific and Generational War/Unsere Mutter, unsere Vater (I heard the third caused a whole commotion with Yad Vashem or whatever, because they claimed it """glorified""" National Socialism, while it seems just to be a fair take on Germany's history.
*A series akin to Saxon Chronicles/The Last Kingdom, but for the Holy Roman Empire in its beginnings, especially what today is considered the German states . Not only a TV series, but a book series would be very welcome!

I don’t know what I would make an entire movie about but I have always said that if I were in charge of making a movie and something shocking happened to a character, I would actually have them react normally. There are way too many instances of a character encountering something horrifying, or even supernatural, and just responding with a brief mild reaction- maybe a wince and a quick one-liner- and then going about their business. I’m sorry, but if I just saw my friend get disemboweled, or an alien rock up, I would be yelling shit like “what the fuck?!” wayyyy more than what I currently see in movies.
 
I would want a prequel series to an obscure game called Legend of Dragoon called The Dragon Campaign.

For those who don't know the lore of this game, 11,000 years before the events of the game, a magical race called the Winglies built an entire civilization around using the energy generated from the unborn God of Destruction to built floating cities that were purpose built to specific tasks to totally control everyone's lives from birth to death. How total is this control? Well, Wingly Eugenics needed an entire floating city to determine which babies had sufficient magical power to operate in their civilization. Those who didn't have it were aborted. Lesser races were governed by law-spewing bureaucratic robots and once they died, their souls were sucked up by the Death City which was open to the Underworld to determine everyone's fate in the afterlife. Naturally, humans got fed up with this treatment and managed to harness the souls of dragons to lead them into an uprising that destroyed this civilization.

The climax of the Dragon Campaign as shown in the game itself:
 
I wanted to make a serious, darker Godzilla movie with a terrifying monster and heavy, somber tones that match the original. Realistic carnage and destruction with a downright vindictive Godzilla that couldn't be stopped.
And then Minus One came out and my dream Godzilla movie came out.
