I know I'm a nub to the forums, but I've always found this an interesting topic. Pitch some hypothetical movies you'd like to see made.

Example, in my case I'd love to see a Concrete movie with Concrete played by John Malkovich, Scarlett Johansson play Vonnegut and maybe Brad Pitt to play Larry. For a director I don't really know.

I'll play that game. But I'd like John C. Reilly as Concrete/Ron, an older actress to play Vonnegut (like Maria Bello) and someone smaller for Larry with worse looks. Like a younger William H. Macy. Yeah. Not very commercial. Maybe that's why the movie will always be hypothetical.

As for Madman though?!? Who would you cast!?! Go!

i like my live action Transformers treatment i wrote for a film class ‘bout 6 yrs back.

it involved Megatron convincing Omega Supreme that humans presented a threat to Cybertron, causing Omega to come to Earth to be rebuilt as a stealth bomber by the Constructicons in order to drop a nuke on LA. the real reason, of course, was Megatron wanting to harness the energy of the nuke into energon cubes and use them to pull Cybertron toward Earth , ultimately to conquer both planets.

i even detailed what each of the characters would be (like Megatron a tank, and Mirage remade as a chick Ferrari). i even had Bumble Bee (a modern VW bug) brutally crashed and remade by Ratchet (a tow truck) into a classic 60’s VW Bug dune buggy, and his name changed to Goldbug.

in the end Prime and Megatron team up to stop the nuke (Prime dies in the process saving Megatron's life after Starscream tries to kill him. see, Goldbug talks Omega out of dropping the nuke, so Starscram steals it). Megatron kills Starscrean, and is also jettisoned into space where he meets Unicron (leading to a live action reamke of the toon movie).

i had Sam Jackson casted as Jazz. i got an A on my assignment.

I like the hottie for Vonnegut, but to each his own. I do however see my mistake with Larry. What about Philip Seymour Hoffman? He might look the part with glasses and a beard.

In highschool Battle Angel alita was my favorite Anime and Ecco the Dolphin was my favourite video game, so I wrote a short story combining the two for homewrok at school. I didn't get the best grade in the grade for it, but I think James Cameron, you and I should talk ;)

i'd like to see an Army of Darkness remake titled Medieval Dead.

i said in the Gambit thread that I would really like to see a X-Men movie with different X-Men... maybe an X-Factor or X-Force movie.

i would also love to see a movie adaptation of The Stainless Steel Rat.

I have been wondering why no one has ever made a MASK movie. I had all the gear when I was a kid, you gotta love the gull wing hot rod that morphed into a plane...dddoooooooooppee.

IGN.com has this going on right now on their front page. I agree with the writer/director and style but not the casting at all.

i think Stuart Craig would be an interesting choice.

I just want an action movie where the guy you think is the stereotypical hero figure dies in the first fifteen minutes. Preferably by trying to jump through an open train car with a sexy italian sports car, makes it halfway, and then the train nicks his car, sending him spinning into a crash. But oh wait! He survives! Only to have the bad guy walk over and shoot him in the face. I just want to see this once, and I'll be happy.
