Honestly I would kill for hadestown the musical as an animated movie. Or most musicals for that.

The Mona Lisa as an audiobook.

My favorite passage: "......"

As not read by Toni Morrison.

Terminator 2: Judgement Day: The Linux Distro

[โ€“] Postmortal_Pop 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[โ€“] zell565 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

This, but also the Dresden Files. I never watched any of the live action show, but I think a series would be a success animated (with some reasonable fat cutting a la Vox Machina)

Oh thats bloody brilliant. Honestly I want a good adaptation of everything Brandon Sanderson. Whatever form it takes

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

I would like to see Gantz adopted as an American TV series.

I think it would be interesting what it would say about MAGA.

The 1812 Overture to braille

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

The Divine Comedy to a high budget high quality movie.

[โ€“] AbouBenAdhem 5 points 3 weeks ago

Blood Meridian as an illustrated childrenโ€™s book.

Waiting for that Bioshock Movie

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

That's a risky thing to wish for. Could be awesome! Could be an unwatchable green screen nightmare.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Would be epic, should be fairly easy to adapt the story as well. Although i thought the same about Halo and they fucked that up lol

[โ€“] Spat_U_Later 4 points 3 weeks ago

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 itโ€™s divided by scenes and acts, and it has some existing musical numbers. I think thereโ€™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.

I want pjvm's web comic, Techno Mage, to be a cartoon. I'd watch it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Bobiverse tv show. But even getting the rights for the pop culture references would be too hard to pull off

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

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.

Blindsight into a movie or show by a producer who actually respects the material

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I'd love an animated "Cats" movie! It'd be soooo cute!!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I believe this project once started and was then dropped

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I swear I've seen concept art once upon a time.. was it Disney? But I remember it looking so cute!

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

I remember a darkish look, less cute. And a Steven Spielberg project btw

[โ€“] [email protected] -1 points 3 weeks ago

Only if they add buttholes

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

I would love to see The Protomen's albums adapted into a muscial (assuming they ever finish Act 3). Reading the liner notes while listening along gets close, and they already did the music for "Terminator the Second" (musical shakespearian adaptation of Terminator 2).

Person of Interest (TV show) as video game

[โ€“] YarHarSuperstar 2 points 3 weeks ago

Oh shit that's a fucking great idea

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

I'd love to see ๆฒ™่€ถใฎๅ”„ (Saya no Uta/Song of Saya), a pretty mildly disturbing visual novel, as a short animated couple episode series. I'd love to see how they animate how the main character sees the world with his meat vision.

[โ€“] Kayday 2 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

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.

There was talking at one point of a live action movie of Hamilton (not the filmed stage version, a proper adaptation), which I think could be excellent if done well.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

The video where Rev Bruce Howard scourges his own back while complaining about โ€œstudio lights so hotโ€, as a movie .
