Terrence Malick's Tarzan - Who else better to show the duality of man and beast?

Quentin Tarantino's West Side Story - It would probably suck, but Tarantino doing a musical would get me excited about seeing one of his movies again.

3 hour Beatles biopic by Martin Scorsese

Wes Anderson growing some balls to adapt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five or Cat's Cradle.

Good idea for a thread! Are these actual projects that could've existed or just made-up stuff??? Anyway for made-up stuff I say

Mike Nichols (sp?) doing Catcher in the Rye
Walter Hill doing a crazy old-school type war action movie.
David Lynch adapting any popular/mainstream novel.

Stefen

Falling in love is the greatest joy in life. Followed closely by sneaking into a gated community late at night and firing a gun into the air.

Gold Trumpet

Stanley Kubrick adapting Foucault's Pendulum. Kubrick originally wanted to, but Umberto Eco refused to allow someone else adapt the novel without his consent to write the screenplay himself. The experience of seeing Name of the Rose adapted into a horrible film made Eco very protective of his novels, but I think Foucault's Pendulum had the meat and ambition to have superceded even the ambition of 2001: A Space Odyssey. There is no way he could have simplified the novel enough where it wouldn't have been an ambitious piece of filmmaking.

Oliver Stone's Charles Manson Movie
Judd Apatow and Paul Feig's Freaks and Geeks High School Reunion Movie
Tarantino's Screwball Comedy with Kevin Spacey and Julianne Moore
Paul Thomas Anderson's spy caper

The Coen Brothers to work on something with John Goodman again.

The Beatles know Jesus Christ has returned to Earth and is in Los Angeles.

Woody Allen working with Jack Nicholson (acting and directing him).
David Lynch making something that isn't set in Hollywood or related to movies.
Martin Scorsese directing Bill Murray and Al Pacino in anything.
Paul Thomas Anderson's Catch-22 (this one will always be risky, but if he gets it right, damn).

Why? Lynch can do anything... and the ''Hollywood dreams are false'' theme is kinda dry by now.

Totally unnecessary, though.  Mike Nichols already nailed Catch-22.

Chris Cunningham doing anything.

hear hear


I've always thought how a modern city would look through Malick's eye, such as NYC, Tokio, London, Hong Kong, etc. hell if he does one movie every 4/5 years im set for life.

Spike Jonze in space/distant future and that horror film with Kaufman.

Coppola's Megalopolis.

Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

Well, yeah it kinda is. I just want to be in David Lynch movie and I live in L.A. That's why. Although I do understand he could do a movie about something else and still shoot in the greater L.A. area. I just unabashedly love 'Mulholland Drive' and 'inland empire'
