HAHAHAHA it's funny because you have no idea what you're talking about.

I get the feeling that this article isn't actually about what movies Hollywood should make next.

Well, I guess that solves it, then.

I imagine a gritty crime drama starring Ronald McDonald and Grimace as cops who have to rescue Grimace's girlfriend Birdie from the international crimelord, the Hamburgler who leads a gang of fryguys.
They'd only end up making the story that's already been told twice in anime (The Golden Age arc). IMO the Retribution arc could work as a standalone film. But it's not like Hollywood is going to start making movies based on ultra-graphic dark fantasy manga.Odoylerules360 said:
As for any ideas... I got none. All I'm hoping for is that HBO turns Preacher into a series.
I wouldn't mind seeing some adaptations of comics like Calvin & Hobbes, for example. Hell, I'm sure there are some web comics with followings worth an adaptation or two.
Or maybe some old forgotten cartoons like The Angry Beavers, Pinky & the Brain or Reboot? Gargoyles seems like a damn good fit, too.

Ouch MovieBob! I know you're a Coastie Liberal, but can you at least TRY to hide your disdain for those of us in the Fly-over states? Admittedly I live in a state where more than a few of the necks are red, but also there's plenty people who'd agree with your points if you just didn't dismiss entire regions of the country and their denizens out of hand.
They already made a movie about the making of Psycho, so I don't see why they'd stop there. Movie folks love talking about the making of Apocalypse Now, they might as well make a movie about it. Then eventually we can get to a movie about the making of Hitchcock (about the making of Psycho), and the beast will have at last devoured itself.
You know what? A "Rise of the Guardians" style mashup of cereal mascots would be awesome. I'd see it.
Captcha: NO SPOON. But how will I eat my cereal now?

I could get on board with biopics of fast-food tycoons provided that they are genuinely interesting people with interesting stories, but the day Hollywood starts making feature film blockbusters around cereal mascots is the day I stop watching movies. I want to be both an actor and a writer, but if I see that industry that I want to someday immerse myself in become that devoid of creativity, then I'll stop giving them my money until they start doing better.
Or a mashup up fast food icons. Colonel Sanders, Dave Thomas, Ronald McDonald, the Taco Bell Chihuahua, Chuck E. Cheese. Have Seth MacFarlane direct and you've got comedy gold.Crimson_Dragoon said:
I must say that I'm really suprised in all this discussion that nobody mentioned the long, long, long rumored Food Fight movie that's been in development hell for the last 10-15 years. Turns out they actually already made it even though next to nobody saw it and a better film could be made of the idea.
