IT'S MY TRILOGY, AND I WANT IT NOW!
"[George Lucas] rebooted the franchise in 1997 without telling anyone." -skyjedi2005
"Yeah, well, George says a lot of things..." a young 1997 xhonzi on RASSM
"They're my movies." -George Lucas. 19 people won oscars for their work on Star Wars (1977) and George Lucas wasn't one of them.

Magister Pontifex MaximusThe Anubis Gates would probably make for a better miniseries but it is a very visual story.

legendary but little-known Jedi MasterI'd like to see a series of short adaptions of HP Lovecraft that are true to the originals. His were short stories, they should be short movies. Done that way, they could be really scary. Something like "Trilogy of Terror" but with all Lovecraft. A whole series of such trilogies would be awesome.
Also, a decent film about really early jazz. I hear a movie is in production called "Bolden", which sounds promising. One on King Oliver would be great too, if done right (which would almost be impossible... very few movie makers would get the music or the ambiance close to correct).
Marty Reisman's "The Money Player".
A decent depiction of Bobby Fischer (also not likely, but some bad ones are certain to be made -- one already has).

I've read all four books, but I barely remember 2061 and absolutely loathed 3001. So I don't particularly care if they ever get made or not.
What did you hate about it?
You know, I don't remember exactly what it was that made me hate it so much. I do remember that it felt far less grounded in reality than its predecessors. I think part of it was the depiction of the monoliths, and the sheer ridiculousness of the world (didn't Clarke write in a velociraptor as a butler or something like that at one point?) that put me off. That and the idea that you can revive a person that had been exposed to the vacuum of space for a millenium.

I was okay with the whole revival of Frank thing, but yeah, the Velociraptor was going a little too far.
If I were to make 3001 into a movie, I would probably leave that part out.

You will not. None of us will, except for a very old and dying Ziggy Stardust who will watch it through teary eyes as he remembers us all.

The Hyperion series could be amazing. As long as Dan Simmons could write the screenplays of course.
YES! I think an 6 season series on HBO would be the perfect format for doing the Hyperion Cantos.
I'd also like to see a miniseries that accurately adapts The Count of Monte Cristo. It's one of my favorite books, and the Jim Caveziel movie is a bad parody of a synopsis of the original novel.

You both have a good time without me though.
Who knows? Maybe you two will get into a bit of split-screening later. ;)

Double standards!!I would like to see a Retro-Futuristic/Cyberpunk version of Flash Gordon set in 1936. Scenes on earth would be set in the retro-futuristic world whereas on Mongo the scenes would be Cyberpunk/Neo-noir type place, to create a very sharp contrast between the two.
If that makes sense...

I want to see a film about Dr Watson's experiences in Afghanistan, before he met Sherlock Holmes. The plot would pretty much be an adaptation of the first few paragraphs of 'A Study in Scarlet', except more fleshed out.
On second thoughts... Forget what I just said. I'm gonna write it!

Magister Pontifex MaximusA Legend Of Zelda film series could be fun.
As long as each film was set in a different era with different Links, Zeldas etc but with a mapped out continuity.

"darth endeor was a meanyhead" - FatherSkywalker, et al--QFTJust read the OP...and of course they're finally really making an Ender's Game, which I'm sure makes him happy. It makes me happy too!
Oh, and Orson Scott Card is Mormon...just FYI.
The ROTJ collaborative thread is a wealth of ideas, both on how to edit Return of the Jedi, as well as how to collaborate in an edit. Emanswfan has taken leadership of the project.

Actually, a good Zelda movie would be very cool.

- Dune, done properly. The David Lynch version looked the part (mostly), but failed in the script department, whereas the SciFi channel version got the script mostly right, but suffered from horrible set/costume design and acting.
Totally agree. I love Lynch's visual style--it's totally what I imagined when reading Dune. I didn't end up watching more than 10 minutes of the SciFi channel's version though. I couldn't get past the terrible set design.

I've been waiting for something more to come from this since I first saw it a couple years ago. It's so awesome, whatever it is.
That was awesome :) It completely felt like a live action, first person RPG.

Films I'd love to see made:
1. The Starlost
Based on a screenplay by Harlan Ellison (later adapted to the novel Phoenix Without Ashes), it's a story about an Amish guy named Devon who one day discovers a mysterious door. He enters it and finds himself in the corridors of a gigantic spaceship. He quickly learns that he's aboard the "Earthship Ark", and that the world he knew is just one of dozens of biospheres on board, each preserving a different culture from a now-dead planet Earth. He also finds out that some catastrophic event occurred years earlier, killing the crew, and that the now-unmanned ship is on a collision course with a star. With the help of two other people from his village, he goes from biosphere to biosphere, seeking help from the inhabitants while trying to warn them of the impending destruction of the ship.
The screenplay ended up being adapted for TV, and 16 episodes aired here in Canada in the early 70s. However, the end result was pretty poor, even by 1970s standards, and the show was soon cancelled. However, ever since learning about this, I always thought the premise was amazing and, if well-produced, could make for an awesome movie franchise or modern day TV series.
2. The Odyssey
Due to my man-crush on Sean Bean, I've always thought a follow-up film to Wolfgang Petersen's Troy would have been cool. I really liked Bean's portrayal of Odysseus, and I thought an entire film chronicling his adventures home would have made for a pretty enjoyable film.
"The 1997 special edition seemed like a cool idea, but I don't think any of us were expecting it to be the "death" of the films as we knew them." -- C3PX
