Dream projects + movies you'd like to do
Anyone have a dream project that would only be possible with a studio and millions of dollars?
Mine would be to film a live action movie of Urotsukidoji: Legend of the Overfeind with all the flying creature effects and tentacle rape, gore, and complex storyline all intact.
As far as realistic goals I can pull off, I really want to do a movie with water creatures around a creepy swamp or lake some day.
I would love to do giallos. Many of them with mostly the same cast but in different exotic locations, sensuous scenes, and bloody murders... just like in the good old days!

Re: Dream projects + movies you'd like to do
I would love to do an old school John Woo flick. A violent as hell action film with tons of blood sqibs and perfectly timed slo-mo. Since John Woo isn't making those type of movies anymore, someone has to.
Dream movie
My dream movie would be a a historical drama about boxing through the last two millenia(from ancient greece to modern day America). Id also like to make a realistic kungfu movie with accurate sets, cantonese spoken and actual kungfu techniques and realistic fights that might even bore kung fu fans(i.e fights that are over in seconds cuz one guy hit the other guy first and hard).
A movie I might be able to actually do is my "baby" about a futuristic agrarian society where humans are dominated by the supernatural and how they have adapted. I think HD will be the key.
Quote:GSK, I also would love to do a huge John Woo style film.
Too bad it would be damn expensive to do. The only person I can think of that tried to do John Woo type gun battles for a SOV flick was Ronnie Sortor with "Ravage".
One of the best rip offs of a John Woo gun battle I've seen is from the Vic Armstrong flick Joshua Tree A.K.A. Army Of One. The movie stars Dolph Lundgren and about an hour into the film there is an amazing gun battle that is as close to John Woo as you can get.

A movie, that combines the western, action flick, 70s/early 80s grindhouse exploitation, and the old fashion backwoods killer and roadside shooter flicks. Also i'd do a film adaptation of Cormac McCarthys Blood Meridian this book has been out for over twenty years i'm surprised that no one has done it already but the book is good and worth reading.
Somebodies shooting a PHILIP K. DICK biopic right now actually. It's gonna be half real, half fiction.
I agree with the Dead in the West movie, funny thing, I have a script Lansdale wrote based on his book and, I hate to say this, it's kinda sucky. I'd love to do anything Lansdale especially the Drive-In. Unfortuntely I've looked into it buying the rights to shoot a Joe Lansdale short and he charges too much. Can't afford it.
If I had the budget I'd do a cannibal epic like Cannibal Holocaust but updated.

My ultimate dream project would be a more faithful adaption of American Psycho.
I'd make it somewhere between 2 1/2- 3 hours long with all the most important aspects of the novel intact. This means the Hamptons chapter of the book would be filmed among other things. It wouldn't have everything in the book,since it's an adaption and thus films a different medium than novels. But I'd have all the important bits of it intact and it would be quite a disturbing film too say the least. Also it would be very very funny in that sick twisted offensive sort of way the novel is.
So the tone would be a mixture of extreme grimness and offbeat humor as it's supposed to be.
On the gore/rape front....i'd film the most important murder/rapes of the novel that have something to do with the overall journey/realization of Bateman(including the rat sequence!). And it would be both a mixture of graphic imagery and disturbing sound effects with good editing/camerwork. So that some bits will be implied while others fully shown and mixed with the audio will seem all the more horrifying.
And obviously the censors would have a field day with the film. It would probably be banned in many countries and or heavily censored around the world. It would be mutilated if cut down too an R rating,but I'd make sure the uncut version were also released. In fact....an unrated arthouse release would be the perfect idea while an R alternative on dvd would be ok,since whoever is brave enough to fund the project would need to earn their money back anyway possible.
Re: .
The novel is a different animal entirely. I didn't think they captured anything right in the film from the humor to the horror,it just felt pretty safe and artificial.
Of course if you hate first person narratives,excessive details and a mostly 'plotless' proceeding. You may hate the book like many people do.
