What movie would you make?

[Professor Smarmiarty]

Let's say you had a full budget, access to film studio, flexible actors, whatever you need, what movie would you make?

My movie is called En Passant. It is kind of serious, kind of mock film in the style of 1970's German film mixed with a Rocky film and a little bit of noir to round it off. Defineatly be black and white whit odd angles and lots of shadows.
It will star an ageing Russian chess master who begins to see the people around him as chess pieces and the chess pieces in his games as real people.

My friend who is a reasonably successful amateur filmmaker (he has showing at cinemas and stuff) promised to make this for me if I ever craft a full chess set of person sized pieces. Hmmmmm....

Sorry to break the art flow, but i would just make a new Robocop movie, that ignores Robocop II and III.

Although i probably wouldnt be able to prevent it for becoming a mix of I,Robot and The Six Million dollar man.... because im my Film, Robocop becomes outdated by New cyborg-types. That start running most of the Police operations.

But, the corrupt chief of police starts using the Central computer to control the New CYborg cops to do his personal agenda. It all goes to hell when a Criminal mastermind (who was working with the cheif of police) takes control of the Cyborgs.

That's when they Upgrade Robocop to a Cyborg-humanoid type. Since he has a Human brain and emotions, he cant be controled. But is still a good guy. From there on... Mayhen!

This will work but while Robocop is out of date and before the cyborgs go bad you have to have him as an out-of-work jazz singer in some run down dive. It will be comedy gold.

My movie would be backwards... Kinda. Start at the last day, then go to the day previous, then after the first day, show the last day again to round it all off. It would be about a man who is slowly going insane, and eventually kills himself. Start off showing the world as this insane place and him committing suicide, than as it works backwards, showing more and more of the real world, and less of the world as his mind saw it, show the things that lead to his suicide and the event that causes him to snap.

NC, I'd see that movie.

Sounds a bit like Memento. If you haven't seen it you should watch it. It's quite good and it sounds like you would like it.

I wonder what you're gonna think of the Robocop remake that they're currently working on...?

And man, movie making is my passion! We made over 60 short movies between 1992 and 2004, as well as a feature length movie in 1998. I mean, most of them have no entertainment value other than nostalgia (for us), but it's still a pretty impressive number all the same.

From 2003 until 2006 I worked very hard on a feature length Lord of the Rings parody. We had a cast of about twenty, with maybe six of us working hard on pre-production. I poured months and months of work into it (as well as about $3000) but in the end the money ran out and it had just been too long and people started moving away or were always too busy... But I've still got the script that I spent so much time on, as well as what storyboards, costumes and props we managed (quite a lot but not enough). I would really love to finish that project if I were ever given the chance.

Other than that, there's two art films that I started writing in high school and would love to get made, as well as a plethora of short films that I wrote. One of the arty films is really just an experiment with still images/montage/subliminal impressions mixed with layers of sound/music to try and manipulate emotion. The other is a series of short vignettes collectively titled "The Tribulation of the Children".

So what I guess I'm saying is, even with access to Hollywood materials and funding, I'd mostly still make my own personal indie films.

Tales of a Torn World

Now I know wha t you guys are thinking, oh how original, using your own comic but here me out.

I love the world that I have created for Tales. The comic is just a small portion of the world that I have created. While I have borrowed elements from Tolkien, I have added my own influences and to me, it is a diverse world that I have barely scratched the surface.

And with this, I would want a traditional animated movie. Nothing with flashy effects or high def computer generated graphics. Simple, hand-drawn like from FFTactics: War of the Lions

I'd make a middle-age/medieval fantasy movie. It'd be pretty much like every other fantasy movie ever, except it would be the complete opposite of epic. There'd be maigc and ancient artifacts and people mastering magic/fighting in short time. It'd be about the triumph of good over evil and other such tripe. Except all of the effort and payoff of the protagonist(s) would essentially be something along the lines of removing some asshole baron that owns only like three villages. Everything they'd have been working towards would be pretty much fuck-all to do with anyone else. They'd be like "we have defeated the evil count and the people will rejoice and the land will be pure once more", but the peasants would still be starving wrecks and some new asshole noble would just move in and take the land right back. The protagonist(s) woud be totally proud of their triumph over evil and then they'd have to go right back to farming/killing people/having a horrible disease while almost nobody else even noticed or cared. It'd be made funnier only by making the main character(s) completely three-dimensional and sympathetic and for whom the audience actually builds up desire and expectation for success.

We-ell, I don't have many tiny details added to it, but I had an idea to follow a lower-class, magically talented family in New York City, a bit before the turn of the last century, with a pinch and a dash of yummy steampunk to spice everything up. I'd probably make it a book first, tho', to flesh out everything properly. And then, after everybody's fallen in love with it, I'd turn it into a visually sumptuous, superbly written blockbuster epic. And then, while I'm dreaming, I'd become Supreme Ruler of the World, learn a variety of amazing psionic powers, and get my very own TARDIS.
