The OFFICIAL "I can't believe they haven't made _________ yet" thread; movies that would be MONEY

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

for me i've mentioned a Shazam movie would be and should be a smash success, and finally that is coming to fruition.

What ideas have you had that you can't beleive hollywood hasn't executed yet?

 

[Swiggy]

Where the fukk is Voltron????

 

[NZA]

ducktales: get that CG kid movie money with merchandise tie ins
zelda: base it on ocarina of time
bioshock: i would try to blend the first two games into one movie, then the third as a sequel

honorable mention:
hotline miami: not a blockbuster but a good cult classic, NC-17, kavinsky on the soundrack, low budget

 

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

how has there not been a monster budget movie on the RAPTURE...the book of Revelations if you read it neutrally as if its a screen play is the wildest action movie of all time

Thundercats

Thundercats

I don't think there's enough nostalgia for that to work. Cats wold be like we just had ninja turtles, who the fukk are these guys...

Yet, for some reason I think @NZA is right and ducktales can work

A weather underground movie, kurt cobain biopic, things fall apart starring idris elba

You're crazy on this one. When that fake trailer dropped a few years back the internet went wild.

The internet goes wild for a lot of shyt and then doesn't go out and support it. The internet literally funded a Veronica Mars movie and then didn't go out to see it

I don't know, I just don't think a CGI Thundercats would sell. It wold do better than Swat Cats though

i've said it before, but i'm still surprised we haven't gotten a "28 Months Later" during the zombie craze of the past few years. especially since the walking dead is doing NFL level ratings numbers.

Most of these I wouldn't want to even see but...

Metal Gear
Contra (should have been arnold and sly back in late 80s or early 90s)
Reboot movies of Goonies, Ghostbusters, Warriors, Escape from NY, Poltergeist, He-Man
Voltron, Thundercats, Captain Planet
Spaceballs 2
Black Panther
New Xfiles tv show with new cast

Metal Gear

low key Hugh Jackman as Solid Snake and Kurt Russell as big boss = C.R.E.A.M.

 

[Wiirdo]

They're making it now but a Fables movie seems like it would print money to me.

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

- He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. I know they did the Dolph Lundgren one but this has been rumored for over a decade and would work really well if done RIGHT in light of the LOTR/Hobbit movies (though He-Man obviously has strong sci-fi elements).

- Super Mario Bros. CGI

- Maverick 2, back before we knew Mel was crazy and racist

- Jack Benny biopic (with Kevin Spacey in the lead role )

Pixar presents Flight of the navigator reboot. .. especially since it was the first movie that pixar ever worked on back in 86...I always found that story compelling. .. kid goes out for a ride on his bike in the woods, falls down. .. wakes up decades later and he hasn't aged. .. has all these maps of the universe in his head. .. Just a bad ass story
