You get to direct a movie.

You have an unlimited budget, and you can cast any actor, living or dead. What is your film about and who do you cast?

    • Probably make a mass effect series wouldn't be enough time in a movie. I think steven strait from the expanse would make a great Shepard but I think ryder suits him more.

    • Literally just the live action Cat in the Hat movie, but Dr. Seuss comes in at the end with a minigun and hoses down the whole cast.

    • I would take some obscure cult novel and adapt it into a slow pretentious art house movie that goes for five hours. The studio would give me six months to make it but I would go way over schedule because I would be a insane perfectionist reshooting every scene two hundred times until the cast and crew all had nervous breakdowns. I’d pick some egotistical “auteur” method actor that “inhabits” the character 24 hours a day, even when he’s not on set, and flys into a rage when the crew don’t address him by his characters name. He’d spend most the shoot hiding in his trailer because one of the crew made eye contact with him. I would also pick a leading lady with a major drinking problem that turns up on set drunk each day and gets into screaming matches with the cinematographer who’s she’s having an affair with. I also blew the budget by insisting we spend six months on location in the Cambodian jungle just to shoot one small scene that could of easily been done with a green screen in LA. The movie would go so over budget that the studio would eventually fire me and recut the movie as a light hearted straight to DVD rom-com. I would never work in Hollywood again but would continue to make low budget art house movies in Europe which nobody watched but pretended they did to appear intellectual at cocktail parties. Eventually the original directors cut of the film would be uncovered in the editors garage and would be released on Blu-Ray . It would slowly develop a cult following and would eventually be praised as an artistic triumph. By that stage though I’d be a washed up alcoholic living in some Prague halfway house completely unaware that snotty film school undergrads worshiped me as their god. Wait... what was the question again?

        • Half of the (unlimited) production budget pays my salary. I cast powerful political leaders as all the actors and for their roles they must provide their own data, launch codes, black mail information, etc. With my unlimited funding and international leverage, I will take over the world.

          I would do the Blackheart series from Ghost Rider. It featured a team up between the Danny Ketch Ghost Rider, Punisher & Wolverine, but I would add Deadpool, Venom & Doctor Strange as well. Deadpool, Doc Strange & Punisher are all the same folks. Ghost Rider would be a younger Keanu Reeves. Wolverine, tbd. I would like to see an actor that is ripped on the scale of the Rock, but could play the part as well as Hugh Jackman & is short, because Wolverine was only like 5'3" in the comic books back in my day. Venom stays as Tom Hardy. I just want to see Venom & Deadpool ripping on each other while driving Punisher & Wolverine nuts. Ghost Rider wouldn't care & Doc Strange would just be like, hand me some popcorn! Also, I want a Lobo movie, but not done by the idiots DC keeps hiring. I want someone on par with Whedon, someone who truly read & loved the Lobo comics.

              • A Star Wars movie set in (you guessed it) the prequel era, focused around the 501st and Rex specifically. It would essentially be a Rogue One-esque movie with no Jedi and focused only on the actual war. And since he deserves it so badly, it would have General Greivous getting his own Rogue One Hallway scene

                  • I would recreate a live action version of destiny lore... I know some probably won’t like it, but actually taking the lore and properly handling and recreating the best parts Efferdeet and wu mings bar, and get to see drydens death Mithraxs story, and the fallen home world Shin and dredgen yor battle Death of andel brask and caydes takeover of vanguard position... And other good lore This could be a TV series like the mandolorian, except each episode is a different lore book, or grimoir....

                    • Probably replace the Star Wars sequel trilogy with the Legacy of the Force storyline. I have no idea who I would cast as Darth Caedus though.

                          Id make a horrible star wars movies with bad actors etc so Disney wouldn't buy star wars and ruin it. I misread the question, i thought I could make a movie in the past but it's actors in the past.

                        • I’d adapt the novel Hyperion by Dan Simmons to the screen. I’d rather make it a TV show though.

                          [i]I’ll have to think about it for a while before I give you a proper answer. The reason why I decided to reply to this post was because I remember going to see the Matrix in the cinema back when it first came out, and roughly about a 3rd of the way through it, I realised that the movie was check list of everything of everything that I’d ever wanted to see in major Hollywood film, and that if I had the money and the power ( and the skill ), I probably would have made the Matrix before the Wachowski’s. So, that’s the kind of movie that a 20 year old Seraph would have made back in 1999.[/i]

                        • The Blade Itself Taken from Joe Abercrombie's website below [quote] Logen Ninefingers, infamous barbarian, has finally run out of luck. Caught up in one feud too many, he’s on the verge of becoming a dead barbarian, leaving nothing behind but some bad songs, a few dead friends, and a lot of happy enemies. Nobleman, dashing officer, and paragon of selfishness, Captain Jezal dan Luthar has nothing more dangerous in mind than fleecing his friends at cards and dreaming of glory in the fencing circle. But war is brewing, and on the battlefields of the frozen North they fight by altogether bloodier rules. Inquisitor Glokta, cripple turned torturer, would like nothing better than to see Jezal come home in a jar. But then Glokta hates everyone: cutting treason out of the Union one confession at a time leaves little room for friendships. His latest trail of corpses may lead him right to the rotten heart of government… if he can stay alive long enough to follow it. Murderous conspiracies rise to the surface, old scores are ready to be settled, and the line between hero and villain is sharp enough to draw blood. Unpredictable, compelling, wickedly funny, and packed with unforgettable characters, The Blade Itself is fantasy with a real cutting edge.[/quote] Benedict Cumberbatch as Sand Dan Glokta
