Andrew Rakich's The Time Machine: Knows how to capture numinous horror, into history enough that he'd do stuff with the protagonist's Victorianness, would probably have thoughts about the book's politics in general, esp regarding a vegan reading, which would be really interesting to see

A live action Lorax movie, directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp as the onceler would be my dream movie

An Alfred Hitchcock movie in today's society could be nice.

If Quentin Tarantino would make a Star Wars movie I would probably watch it even if it was in Disnep's canon. He's even more of a movie nerd than George Lucas. I think he would get it right.

Never understood why he rather wanted to make Star Trek.

This is a bit beside the point but I really wish Tarantino would drop his whole "10 movies and done" rule. I feel like it's making him procrastinate too much about his final one and he's already chucked out at least one promising-sounding project that was almost ready to go from the sounds of it.

Star Trek > Star Wars

David Lynch had apparently planned 2 further Twin Peaks films to follow from 1992's Fire Walk With Me. Unfortunately the negative reaction that film got at the time put paid to any chance of them being made, even after the film's fully deserved re-evaluation and recognition as one of his finest pieces of work.

Season 3 of Twin Peaks probably touched on some of the themes that perhaps would have been in those movies, but damn I'd love to see what they might have been if they'd been made right then.

Tim Burton's Die Hard

I'd like Tarantino's take on Suffragette. Same cast.

Wes Anderson's version of the peddlington bear (not sure if I'm writing it right)

Guillermo Del Toro, Roland Emmerich, Ishiro Honda, and Adam Wingard all team up (successfully) to make a Godzilla movie where he and Kong fight Zilla from the 1998 Godzilla movie and a hoard of sprogZillas

Or a horror movie set in the Warhammer 40k universe, directed by Paul W. S. Anderson and Ridley Scott. Possibly tyranids, but there are so many horror aspects to choose from...

I’ll take The Final Countdown directed by Frank Darabont, and written by Reverendender.
