Ask Lemmy

I'd say the Hyperion Cantos. But even with infinite money and an Oscar, even Bradley Cooper can't get that shit made.

Animated series for one of my favorite novels: Worm

It should be a long running series, with focus on the characters and the superhero society as a whole.

Arcane level animation would be nice

Manga-accurate Anime of Berserk fully hand drawn and without clang sounds for swords

I'd give the guy who made Wazhack a bunch of money. I like his take on nethack

I’d do a film version of the Illuminatus! Trilogy across 5 films, and make it feel as epic as the Odyssey or Ben Hur… really old school.

I'd fund A quality Fantasy MMO rpg so it wouldn't ever have micro transactions and would also scrub all guides about it from the internet in an attempt to bring back community based progression instead of 'why no meta bro?'

movie: any muppet movie

series: zefrank's true facts, numberphile, myths and legends podcast

video game: so far larian studios, but there's a lot of small pubs and indie devs that are great as well

Series? More macross/robotech that makes sense. Macross Plus is the best for many reasons, but mostly because of the coherent plot. Give me awesome mecha, itano circus missile flights, and a plot that's not fucking stupid. (I can't stand robotech's plot, and macross is barely tolerable.)

Game? Master of Magic 2 that doesn't suck. I've seen 2 or 3 spiritual successors but they've failed in execution. Keep it simple. Update the original and add a touch of something. Don't reinvent it.

Movie? District 9 sequel. I don't know how they'd do it but the movie was so good I want more.

Resmaster of Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks. Best Mortal Kombat I ever played.

Game: Prince of Persia Half Life 3 😂 Dune RTS

Buy the Starfield IP from Bethesda, and remake it with a different engine. And generally improve upon it a lot. The game had a lot of potential to be great, but Bethesda couldn't deliver unfortunately.

Ecco the dolphin mania

Xenosaga remake incorporating the plots all the way through Xenogears and a sequel.

Immortal gates of pyre.

a bunch of the best starcraft II modders got together and made a spiritual successor to sc2 with books upon books of lore, entire functioning languages, an incredible UX, the best rts gameplay i've ever experienced, and all they need is fucking funding. ugh.

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

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.

A solid next Gen remake of Rocket Jockey and Road Rash

I'd make a My Summer Car movie.
(In case something like this already exists, let me know.)

I'm sure there is, but they're unknown to me. I'm not going to fund stuff already owned and made and has a bunch of sequels and spinoffs. I'm going to find and fund something new, something that the other people with money aren't taking a risk on.

Maybe Rogue System, if I am remembering the name right. It had a Kickstarter that failed to meet the minimum, but God damn it sounds like a bad ass idea. A space sim where you would have to actually re-route power through other systems when the normal link has been damage and basically all the stupid little jargon ideas they do to solve things in Star Trek would be mechanics in the game. If you wanted. It would have had settings for so much shit to make it as arcadey or as realistic as you wanted.

Ambitious as hell, but the developer had videos actually showing off some of the mechanics in action and it was as good as I imagined it could be and I'm still kinda upset that its Kickstarter failed.

need another bioshock sequel another sleeping dogs sequel splinter cell sequel

and remake game like 'tacticool' on android, the game has so many potential.. butthe microtransaction is predatory

Neuromancer, with out updating it for technology. I want that phone bank scene.

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

A sequel to Blood Wake or at least a spiritual successor.

Not many people know about this game but I feel it would do somewhat well with online multiplayer. I was in it for the single player story. I’m still intrigued by the world they created.

Definitely Scavengers Reign season 2. That show is so unique and refreshing.

Maybe a slightly different take but… I always thought the Queensrÿche album Operation: Mindcrime could have been an interesting movie.

I’d probably try to get that made/fund that as a project.
