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

[Rome's rightful successor]

It could be based off on any book, video game, real life event or person. Or it could be any original idea from your head.
You can choose any actor you'll like and your given an unlimited budget. The skies the limit.
You will have full creative control and wont have to worry about someone else messing it up because you are in charge.

If I could make a movie, my first pick would be a Chris Chan or an actual Gamergate movie to be made so we can see our favorite lolcows be played on the big screen.

 

[Iron Jaguar]

I would like a movie about real demonic possession i.e. something written by people who've actually witnessed it and dealt with it, rather than the usual Hollywood rubbish written by atheists who've never even read the Bible or talked to missionaries who've worked in Africa and India.

 

[Mr.Logistics]

Some good sci-fi that is actual sci-fi. What happens if we test for the big G and find an alternative reality in our universe that if severed kills the person in our reality but can be toyed with. What would society look like then?

What if the background noise radiation from the big bang stopped and we found out that it was the reason for our evolution and 5 senses?

There's alot of interesting shit you could make by just asking "What if {Scientific discovery} was responsible for X?"

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

Lots of true crime and stuff. Diane Downs limited series, Sada Abe limited series,

Angela Carter biopic

An adaptation of You'll Never Eat Lunch in this Town Again.

 

[Cup Noodle]

I'd make the prequels again minus Jar Jar Binks. If it had to be original I'd go for some 90's romcom mixed with some anime romdram for the story shot in live action with American actors. Have you ever watched a Japanese movie or tv show? It's no wonder that their main entertainment export is anime.

 

[Just A Butt]

I would make a show about how no one uses the goddamn Q&A subforum for good questions like this one.

 

[独人13]

"The horrible future of Yellow Peril and why we need chairman Mao back."

."

 

[Table Country]

Snatch. but medieval

 

[Idiotron]

I actually have a lot of ideas.
Original ideas, not some sequel/remake/reboot/adaptation, I hate that shit these days, we need new things.

I've got this idea for a crazy movie that I can only describe as John Wick + Hot Fuzz + Pulp Fiction.
Not exactly what it is but that's how I can tell you what it is without writing an essay.
Funny, violent and full of colorful characters.
I could make this movie for $10 million max, it's not a big spectacle type of entertainment.

I also have this horror/crime drama thing where a cop investigates a serial killer, almost gets killed and then, the victims of the killer start visiting him in his dreams, helping him solve the case.
It would be similar to something like Zodiac or Se7en (although maybe a bit less depressing) but then, we would have these dream sequences where we could get really creative with the visuals because anything can happen in a dream.
Because of these dream sequences, the budget would have to be at least $25 million.

I also have this epic story that's inspired by my JRPG phase.
Basically, there was an "event" in the past that fucked Earth up but many centuries later, humanity is starting to build back the world.
We would have new towns built on top of old destroyed cities, new governments slowly forming, we would have people mining for ancient tech that's way beyond what they have in the new world etc.
We would follow our hero as he gathers a team of weirdos who then have to not only be on the run from the newly formed government but also face a threat that destroyed the world once before.
Standard JRPG stuff.
This would have to be a TV show as I would like to develop each character, giving each of them an episode to shine, I wouldn't be able to do this in a 2-3 hour movie.
I would also like to tell a story with the visuals.
For example, we would have the heroes travel through an ancient ruined city and, simply by having the characters be in this environment and interact with it, we would learn it's history without actually giving exposition.
This is a big budget project so I would need at least $100 million for the entire season.

That's what I got for now.

 

[CharcoalChkn]

Anthology series using a mix of aspects inspired by Lovecraftian/Junji Ito/Psychological horror.

Each episode would have an actor I like cast as the main character/centerpiece, everyone else can be random extras.

ETA: Shortlist of some of the actors I would cast.

Leonardo DiCaprio
Tom Hardy
Margot Robbie
Adam Driver
Nick Offerman
Mads Mikkelsen
Donald Glover

 

[Jason Wynn]

There’s a lot of material you could work with in the various World of Darkness settings. I’d like to see an adaptation of Mage: the Ascension. Go back to it’s roots and keep the wokeshit and retarded God Machine from the new edition out. You could get a very good supernatural conspiracy styled show out of it, I’m thinking a mix of X-Files and Twin Peaks atmosphere wise. Make the Technocracy the overarching shadowy antagonists.

 

[TheHarbinger]

Band of Brothers or The Pacific but for Korea or Vietnam.

 

[Rome's rightful successor]

I would make a tv series based off of the Alternate History series 1983: Doomsday or one on the Wargaming modles 1938: A very British civil War.

I always wanted to see a historical epic on The battle of Vienna, Holy Roman Emperor Otto I, The Cabbage Tsar, or Tamerlane.

 

[Quantum Diabetes]

I want an 80s style buddy cop movie that will resurrect Dj Qualls career, I’d team him up with the now buff Ethan Supplee and set it in Atlanta or maybe Chicago. It’s be called “Thick and Thin” and would feature the band “Newcleus” heavily in the soundtrack.


Dj’s character would secretly be a huge gun fan and assemble some insane gun from the trunk of his car and take out the main bad guy at the films climax sipping on a Cherry Pepsi.

 

[Pokemon Conquistador]

I would like to see a Live Action version of the Hellsing Anime-although more along the lines of the original TV series -a police procedure told from Seras' point of view as she becomes a vampire and goes on various cases. All of the Nazi shit could be introduced a few seasons later.

I'd like to see a series based on the movie Colossus: the Forbin Project, which explores how a world run by an all powerful computer that could nuke its enemies would go. Maybe the computer would be Based and break up all of the Identity Politics bullshit, forcing humans to get along with each other. Then it would plan every aspect of human life, ensuring that everyone gets free food, medicine and housing. How would humans cope with a big AI Nanny that could deliver on its promises? Would people worship the computer as a God? Would the Computer get a big head? Would the computer just give up and nuke Africa after it proves unfixable? Lots of interesting questions there.

I'd like to see a post-apocalyptic series that accurately portrays how poorly liberals would do in a world where physical strength and sex roles mattered again.

 

[The Nothingness]

After watching You're Next, I thought about this idea for a horror film that changes things up after the first act ends (much like You're Next and From Dusk Till Dawn). It starts out with the main character attending a dinner party in a large house that far from a nearby town. A group of burglars invade the home, cutting off all communication and surveillances as they take the guests and their hosts hostage as they rob the place. The building goes into lockdown (somehow), which means the thieves cannot escape and then shit gets real when the second act starts. Hostages and burglars start getting picked off, one by one as fear and paranoia spreads. The lead thief made a point before the break-in not to kill anyone and suspects his second-in-command is trying to take over.

Eventually, the only ones remaining are the main character, the leader, and the second-in-command. When it looks like the second-in-command was the one killing everybody and is about to defeat his fellow thief, a big twist is revealed. The main character seemingly saves his captor only to reveal he is the actual killer who planned on killing those at the party but modified things when the burglary took place. He carefully made sure there was no evidence that pointed to him while helping to sow the distrust by leaving clues that would frame both thieves. The film ends in one of two ways. Either the main character kills the last thief, make it look like he was never a guest at the party, and escapes, leaving what happened as an unsolved case for the police. Or the second ending is the main character still destroy any evidence he was there and escapes but leaves the thief alive. He does this because the thief will be in trouble for the home invasion and will have a hard time convincing the cops that a psychopath was responsible for the murders.

It is probably an interesting idea on paper but would be hard to pull off.

 

[I.B. Niggin]

Got a handful of original ideas that I don't feel like getting into autistic detail about but there's plenty of historical dramas or period pieces I'd like to see.

Stuff like the Liberian Civil Wars, World War I Aces, A nuanced take on the Confederacy, an anthology on pirates, a pure Hashashin story, etc.

A movie where someone tries to stage their own version of And Then There Were None/ Ten Little Indians but get interrupted by thieves sounds like it could work. The Agatha Christie story has been adapted so many times that you have to put a new twist on it to make it work. My twist would be to create a fake reality show (that looked and was filmed like a real one) about a group of people who are invited to a Survivor like reality show where someone gets eliminated every week. The first person to be eliminated thinks they're going to be escorted off of the show, but instead, a gun comes out of the wall and shoots them dead. Then a recording reveals that all of the people who were invited to come on to the Reality Show are murderers, and that, one of them will be eliminated at the end of the episode each week. The "reality show" could end in a number of different ways, including an ending based on the original ending of the book or a "meta" ending where the fourth wall gets broken and the viewing audience gets accused of getting off on watching the murders.

 

[Troon_Patrol]

I'd do a show where I'd pick up someone off skid row in my local city, offer them a free ride through rehab and counseling for 6 months, if they make it that far they get free housing and a job to see if they make it. It would be very similar to A&E's hit series "Intervention", cameras would follow them around all through the entire process.

 

[Shidoen]

Dressing up monkeys in suits so they can do fancy gentlemen things and dressing up gorillas as rappers so they can have a studio with tire wheels and make music. It would honestly have primates in costumes doing various everyday tasks of different professions. Face ripping and shit flinging not to be advertised or promised.
