What movie would make you say "YES!" immediately (also, before I get a bunch of Serenity sequels, yes that is a great choice, but what else?).
And, if given this chance, how would you do it? What would you do story wise? Who would you cast?
If we're talking scifi then I am going with a movie that is actually in pre-production: "John Carter of Mars" Edgar Rice B., a great set of books (especially for young folk interested in fantasy and bored with high school).
I am trying to lower my expectations because it will be an extremely hard movie to make - a central character is 10 feet tall, has green skin and 4 arms and is being played by Willem DaFoe... somehow. Hey, I thought Gollum would be impossible or at the very least, seriously bad, and I was completely wrong there.
I hope they can pull it off - there are 10 more books in the series.
Have you heard of a short actor named Robbie Coltrane playing the role of Hagrid?
You mean the tall Scottish actor?

I'm pretty amped for that one. But as for how they'll make Willem Defoe 10-ft tall....? You realize this is a Pixar movie, yes? Their first live-action/animation hybrid (well, except that commerical in Wall-E).
If anyone else was making it, I'd be nervouse. But Pixar has yet to do me wrong.

Is Pixar Disney and vice versa? Some fantasy scifi things don't have a good shelf life outside of our imaginations or fantastic paintings. You know, it's just so NOT real that if you try to make it look real it just underscores the fakeness.
He's the green fella for anyone who doesn't know the books. I'm really, sincerely looking forward to how they do it!
I'm also doing one of those reverse jinx Jedi things, "it will not succeed... it can't be any good... it's going to be a crapfest..."

NICE ONE!!!!
And along those lines...Indiana Jones and the Kindom of the Crystal Skull never happened. Indiana Jones 4 with NO CGI, NO SHIA LEBOUF, and a REAL screenplay.
Thank you.

Ender's Shadow (I think almost like it more than Ender's Game these days)
I can't really think of who to cast though. Will all those child actors it would be very difficult to cast. Plus Bean would need to grow quite a bit during the filming. I'm thinking a lot of CGI would be required. Still it's a great book. I just love how Bean drove all the instructors crazy with how he figured out all their secrets.

I would complete the Cornelius Ryan WW2 Movie series by producing "The Last Battle".
The Longest Day, and A Bridge To Far have been done.
Why not his final book as well?

Don't get me wrong Roth is absolutely perfect for Lie To ME but he just doen't have the anti-hero charisma to pull off Spider Jerusalem. I actually have a picture in my head that looks like a tough Russian or maybe African-American for a new spin? If you have no idea what Transmet is- just ask
Transmet would be awesome. Mark Sheppard (Badger on Firefly) could pull it off. He played a character similar to Spider on BSG.
Initially as Gaius Baltar's Lawyer "Romo Lampkin".
Romo Lampkin eventually ends up as the President by series end...
Mark Sheppard was GREAT in that role (hate to say it; but I liked Romo Lampkin more than Badger. From a "Damn he nailed that role" perspective...)

I'd make an Honor Harrington movie(from the books). Great stories, great drama and some of the most epic space battles ever in these books. I think maybe Claudia Black as Honor?
mmmmm if wishes were horses...
