If I could say "Here's 84 billion dollars, we're fuckin' doing this..."

We're doing a Battletech cinematic universe, and it's gonna be awesome. We'll start with a trilogy of 100 minute movies based on each of the books in the Grey Death Saga and see what we do from there.

And we're gonna do it as practically as possible. You know how for Empire Strikes Back they built a life size Millennium Falcon? We're doing that at least for mechs that aren't going to move much, for static shots with the actors.

Dan simmons Hyperion series.

[-] ButtermilkBiscuit@lemm.ee 3 points 4 days ago

Two games should be made into movies -

Interstate 76

Full throttle

Probably dating myself with those suggestions. Another wildcard game that should be made into a movie - MechWarrior - whatever version.

Legacy of Kain, and the SoulReaver series.

A full remake of the classic games, and then the actual last game that they never finished.

A high-art movie where practical effects are used extensively so there are no characters shown. All you hear is their voices and the physical effect on the scene from their actions. Imagine a movie and edit out the people. There would be no known actors used, so the viewer is left to imagine what each character looks like. Voice actors would be selected with as many as possible that don't look like they sound.

It would later be followed up with interviews with the actors. Between the two aspects it could be used as a tool of introspection to understand your biases in perception of others.

It would be such a financial loss, there is zero chance it would ever make money.

Wheel of time movies or TV show THE RIGHT FUCKING WAY

I want to make an 8-bit rpg in the vein of Final Fantasy set in Mesoamerica.

In the beginning you select classes/characters based on historical roles from the region. The class choice designates party roles and gives access to skills that are manually input via arrow keys or d-pad. Those skills drain a stamina resource that is refilled in combat.

I want a magic system that resembles Metaphor Refantasio. Completing achievements/challenges characters unlock forms (stored in mirrors) based on Mesoamerican mythology that give access to spells that use mana points as a resource and a limit break transformation. There will be twenty forms, one for each symbol in the Tonalpolhualli.

I want to write it in Lua so I can give it Balatro like bells and whistles. Or JavaScript because this whole thing is a total fantasy.

A more surrealist mashup of the SCP Universe, Alan Wake and Control. Im in love with those.

Baten Kaitos 3.

It's a jrpg series. The twist was that it had pseudo-"deck building" turn-based combat where on your turn your had to complete runs within a time limit to attack.

They released the first game, then did a prequel. The prequel improved on the first game massively, but you could tell they didn't have as much budget.

A third game was planned but never completed. They recently released an HD remaster of the first two games which gives me a little hope, but the series has been overshadowed by the team's current breadwinner, Xenoblade Chronicles (Shulk from SSBU).

Ann McCaffrey's Pern series. Teleporting time traveling retro futuristic dragons.

Probably followed by either Footfall, invading octopus elephants, or Ringworld. Which is Halo with 2 headed 3 legged 1 hoof snakes.

[-] Nosavingthrow@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

In 2011, there was a lightly steam-punk (Davinci-punk?) Three Musketeers movie with a villanous Orlando Bloom that set up for a sequel. We never got that sequel because only I liked it. It was, by no means, high art. I just like Alexander Dumas.

KSP 2.
It was mismanaged, underfunded, and understaffed.

I'd scrap the mess they have now, hire an appropriate number of people to work on the game, and give them as much time as they need to get it right.

I would acquire the rights to Tales From The Afternow by Sean Kennedy(The Fucking Man!)

Make a proper hbo quality(westworld level of production) out of it.

Then pay the author to write something that could be turned into a trilogy based on it, but set a thousand years forward.

And create a video game series using the main charqcters various life extensions set between the original series and the new trililogy, where hes on the same space ship but its like the outerlimits and you never know if the next episode is a continuation or a different era because the ship, much like in red dwarf, is essentially an immortal unchanging character

[-] YaksDC@sh.itjust.works 10 points 5 days ago

A book accurate Dark Tower series. I would love to see the Gunslinger in action.

[-] Thrife@feddit.org 10 points 5 days ago

Does anyone remember "Advent Rising" back from the first Xbox and windows live? That was supposed to be a trilogy but was canned after the first game. I'd love to see that remade and continued!

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

I'd make Eragon as a series, but actually good this time. I like the universe.

[-] subtext@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

There is no Eragon movie ಥ_ಥ

[-] Miphera@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

A live-action or animated adaptation of Worm.

Pump as much money as humanly possible into the JWQS / Clear and Muddy Loss of Love animation they're currently making.

Straight up entirely remake Borderlands 3.

A Pokemon game like Colosseum & XD, but only going up to Gen 4, I don't really like the direction the designs went after that.

Fund a proper Pacific Rim sequel.

A high budget Bionicle game would be neat.

And, provided I can pay money for a licence or just buy the original IPs, I'd have my favorite fanfics turned into animated shows as well.

KSP rewrite from scratch with a custom engine.

Super stoked about KSA :)

[-] mostNONheinous@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago

An open world TMNT game based on the original 90’s movie. It was dark and gritty and the perfect playground to fight the foot from the shadows.

  • Wicked: I did a storyboard for this in college. I absolutely think this should have been an animated movie. And not 3D. Not because it's bad, but I always envisioned the world to be more magical. And I think the animation opportunities would be AMAZING.
  • Cats: Also should have been animated, and most of the cast was not picked for their singing ability. I think this could work in either 3D or 2D.
  • Fatal Frame: I would love them to get the SH2 treatment. Same story but a bit more polished? And maybe a few glance features? Gosh, I'd be so fucking hype.
  • The Hunger Games: Should have been a miniseries in my opinion. It was too much for a movie if you hadn't read the book. So much is internal, but you don't have the time to really infer that because of how fast they have to move.
  • Les Miserables Just... You know, maybe give it a second pass...
  • Rose of Versailles: I just want a nice remake, but, in late 80's/early 90's anime style. Not too big of a jump from the original style, but I think it would look nice.
  • Elizabeth Freeman: When Hamilton came out (which I enjoyed immensely) I was like, "Huh. Rapping slave masters is neat, but any other stories for POC?" I then found out about Ms. Freeman, a woman I had literally never heard of. She sued for her own freedom before the Emancipation Proclamation and fucking won. Give me some songs about that shit. I already knew about the Founding Fathers and their greatness." As catchy as it is, maybe we could have spoken about someone else?
  • Erased: Minor nitpick that always bothered me. When you first time see the villain (before you realize they're the villain) they're shown in half shadow. I was like," wouldn't that be funny if that was villain? But they wouldn't be that obvious." i spent the whole show trying to figure out who it was, but it was them. I wish I could have gotten rid of that one frame.
  • PTSD Radio: I could see it working like Yami Shibai. I think it would be neat!
  • Kuon: Remake, please and then you.

Um, I'm gonna reveal my age here and say that it's a crime the old Dragonlance fantasy series was never made into a movie. It's perfect.

World of cultivation, I’d fund a donghua for that book so fast

[-] Ioughttamow@fedia.io 8 points 5 days ago

Edit: remake of bungie’s Myth series, not by current day Bungie though

Film series of The Black Company, or the Darkstar Trilogy

A proper movie adaptation of the hunger games books. They currently lack so much depth and detail that makes the parallels to the USA clear. Also actual young actors, people don't realize how young the characters are supposed to be.

[-] darthelmet@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

I’d fund some dream MMO. Those things are bottomless money pits.

[-] spittingimage@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

There's a space station sim from 2001 that I still play because I love it so much: Startopia. I'd like Startopia 2 to be pretty much the same as the original (including graphics) but with higher-poly models and better scripting tools for modders.
