Honestly I would kill for hadestown the musical as an animated movie. Or most musicals for that.
Blindsight into a movie or show by a producer who actually respects the material
I would love to see a spawn animated series using rotoscope. I know there is a TV show… But it is too short… And I think rotoscope style would fit and make it look really cool and original.
I want an animated show of the Stormlight Archives. Something in the style of the Netflix Castlevania series or similar. I don’t think a live action show could do it justice without an insane budget.
Oh thats bloody brilliant. Honestly I want a good adaptation of everything Brandon Sanderson. Whatever form it takes
The Divine Comedy to a high budget high quality movie.
I would die happy if I could watch an animated adaptation of Worm from the Parahumans universe. Live action would be cool, but I think a series in the same vein as Invincible would work well and could represent the source material better.
The video where Rev Bruce Howard scourges his own back while complaining about “studio lights so hot”, as a movie .
Oooh. I want the cartoon mini-series Over the Garden Wall to be adapted into a stage show. With the way the episode are written, it already feels like it’s divided by scenes and acts, and it has some existing musical numbers. I think there’s a lot of room to have lighting effects and other traditional theater elements, and have longer versions of the songs to make an enjoyable version of the story on par with the cartoon in a new medium.
Bobiverse tv show. But even getting the rights for the pop culture references would be too hard to pull off
I’d love an animated “Cats” movie! It’d be soooo cute!!
I believe this project once started and was then dropped
I swear I’ve seen concept art once upon a time… was it Disney? But I remember it looking so cute!
I remember a darkish look, less cute. And a Steven Spielberg project btw
Only if they add buttholes
The Mona Lisa as an audiobook.
My favorite passage: “…”
As not read by Toni Morrison.
Terminator 2: Judgement Day: The Linux Distro
Hazards of Love by the Decemberists would make such an amazing stage musical. The story is all in there, a lost child raised by the woods, a forbidden romance, a betrayal by the scorned mother with the ultimate death of the lovers together! Tie in with the rake B story for the intermissions and you have everything you need to work with.
It would be a majestic mix of Rock ballad and Shakespearian tragedy.
I was obsessed with ‘O Valencia!’ and ‘sons and daughters’
I want Roland Emmerich to make a movie out of the short story A Pail of Air.
tl;dr/spoiler: ~20 years ago, a black hole passed through the solar system and captured the Earth, dragging it inexorably away from the Sun. This causes great earthquakes, tsunami, and other immediate civilization-ending catastrophes, but the real disaster comes when the atmosphere freezes and falls like snow to the ground. The original story follows a young boy born after the cataclysm whose chores include collecting buckets of frozen air.
Should post that on !shortstories@literature.cafe
I would like to see Gantz adopted as an American TV series.
I think it would be interesting what it would say about MAGA.
Hopefully without the straight out sexist and rapey stuff. Also the embarrassing “we’ve just met, but I love you and we’re gonna live together”.
I feel like it is important for Kei to be a piece of shit in the show.
Why not. But I didn’t get the feeling that the intention was to feel bad/uneasy about the rapey stuff, but that it was normal from the author’s POV.
I remember the first time I read it I kinda managed to finish it regardless, but recently I wanted to re-read it and I just stopped 20 chapters before the end.
I would like the song Firebirds by Clutch adapted as a Grind house movie. An alien comes to Earth seeking arms to defend her people and teams up with a guy living out of his car.
