i would want to make an adaption of "Tomorrow, When The War Began" and the whole series by John Marsden (because it is a great series), and an adaption of "Seven Ancient Wonders" by Matthew Reilly (because it would make an awesome movie) and try to make a decent western that isn't a remake

A little movie called Serenity II.

Other than that?

Star Wars Episodes I-III without an enormous budget and new fangled effects. Old school stop motion and animatronics. Also, no Jar-Jar or Hayden Christianson (who made me feel like Anikan was a whiny little B-----) and a real screenwriter.

The Green Lantern... with a certain Canuck as Hal Jordan.

And then I have this idea for a Beauty and the Beast remake... but it's really dark and twisted and scifi.

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.

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.

I would love someone to produce a good, intelligent, big-screen version of Patrick Rothfuss's The Name of the Wind.

But I am scared that it would be mutilated.

It is an excellent book, but it could be adapted horribly by anyone overlooking the wry humor and subtle characterization of the novel.

Have you heard of a short actor named Robbie Coltrane playing the role of Hagrid?

Re master the last three star wars flicks without Jar Jar Binks and Hayden Christensen as Anaken Skywalker.

I think I would do The Sandman, although it would have to be a series of films to get as much of the story in as possible. Ideally it should be done as a long mini-series but were talking movies here so that's not an option.

I would also like to do an Alien war movie. One like the rumoured Alien 3 could have been before they went in a different direction. One where it's just us versus them, USCM v Alien, no Predators (I've nothing against Predators though).
Having said that a Terminator war in the future would be one I'd consider, a proper full on battle on a huge scale.

One of my fave styles of movies is the Short Cuts type. You know where lots of different characters appear to be unconnected but through events and people they do know they end up being connected and affecting each others lives without really knowing about it. I'd like to see one set in a smallish town where a crime (murder maybe) brings out all the dark secrets and hidden lives of everyone.

As for cast I would definitely employ Summer and Nathan and probably Mark Sheppard as well. As for others it would be Brad Pitt, Michelle Williams, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Dakota Fanning, Laura Fraser, Stephanie Leonidas, Tom Hanks, Simon Pegg, Reese Witherspoon, Viggo Mortensen, Sam Rockwell....
....to name a few.
