While I strongly agree with the first choice I thought the rest of the list was very poorly thought out and had too many demands for proper remakes and video game spin-offs.

Loved their first choice - of course. ;)

From the rest of the line up, I'd only pick Halo to be made into a movie. ( It is now, isn't it? )

Think they can find a place for Nathan, Adam and Alan in it? They're in the game, seems only right. ;)

" Han Solo type mercenary "....sorry, but I don't like that characterization for Mal and Serenity. The writer gets credit for at least having it on the list, but if he thinks that our verse is anything similar in any way to Lucas' total bullshit movies, then I simply say......TRAP!!!

Well, other than Serenity II and Halo, the other choices suck.

Here's my picks!

1. Serenity II
2. Halo
3. Ghost in the Shell (as a live action movie)
4. Cyborg (An updated version of Martin Cadin's book, that the Six Million Dollar Man series was loosely based on).
5. Galaxy Quest 2 (You know you want it!) :)
6. Buffy, the movie. (with the series cast, and Angel included)
7. Doctor Who the Movie (With current Doctor, David Tennet, and bring back Rose)!!!
8. The Day the Earth Stood Still (A modern remake)
9. Space Balls II
10. Serenity III

I'd given some thought to movin' off the edge -- not an ideal location -- thinkin' a place in the middle.

Sorry Jongsstraw, but I beg to differ. Joss himself has admitted that Mal and the ship Serenity was inspired by Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon.

Granted, Joss brought more to the Malcolm Reynolds character and his ship Serenity, than George ever did with Han.

Joss also gave his character a far better crew to fly with, than George's idea of a "Walking Carpet" and "Farm Boy" as side kicks.

the list is pretty good though I disagree with him on that there should be a remake of Wing Commander since it was a great movie, but I'm annoyed he's chosen 2 or 3 films which he thinks should be remade when he could of added things like The Dark Knight Returns(0f the graphic novel), Half-Life, Back to the Future 4, Austin Powers 4, or Metroid to the list. The number one film on the list is definitely the best, obviously and probably the most likely to be made out of that list with all the news, rumours, new DVD, & new merchandise around at the moment.

Hmmm.

Serenity II
Angel (sorry, folks, but the TV series was fine for me, and Angel needs a better wrap-up than the series got)
Dark Angel *activates chrisisall-signal*
I'll echo the Halo sentiment. Perhaps with Adam as the Master Chief.
Reboot (even if only to wrap up the original series)
Vigilante (based on the obscure DC comics character, and starring Nathan as the Last Cowboy)
Wonder Woman (as written by Joss, and starring Morena)
Thundercats (hey, how 'bout Gina as Cheetarah?)
A big screen Heroes story would give us the budget to have a real Power-Battle.
Not sure how it could be done, but I'd squee for a W.I.T.C.H. movie, whether animated or live-action (or even just a plain old Third Season ).
Wouldn't mind seeing "Avatar" and "Unity" adapted into a couple of Deep Space Nine movies (the books are so damn perfect, but I'd kill for movie-style interpretations of the Jem'Hadar).

Also, any original movie that I come up with in the future (I've got several, if anyone's interested).
