What show/ Comic book would you like to see as a movie?

[on:]

I searched through and didnt see a topic like this (although I could be blind) But I have noticed that recently some movies have been based on comic books (ie HellBOY and Punisher) and T.V Shows (charlies angels/ Starsky and Hutch) So in keeping in tune with this trend, what TV Series or Comic Book hero (Cartoons included would you like to see as a movie?
What i would like to see is Thor and Welcome back Kotter

(Please Delete or close topic if this is elsewhere apologies in advanced it if there is one)

Hmm... the "It's Got a TV!" forum maybe?

[Reply #2 on:]

Futurama, The A-Team, Stargate...for starters.

There will be a time when every television show from the 1960s and 1970s will be made into a movie. Mark my words. It doesn't matter if the show was popular or good or anything, but it will be done.

Next summer...the "Three's Company" movie.

I want to see a Too Close For Comfort movie, myself.

Or, on the comics side, maybe a movie about those Eltingville nerds.

A movie version Of Kingdom Come, with all those super heros it would be pretty epic but Alex Ross' art alreadyy looks like movie stills.

Sandman. Weird trippy dream action.

[Reply #8 on:]

Didn't they already make an Archie movie? I believe it did royally suck ass.

Kingdom Come would make an awesome movie. It already has what it takes to be a good one, too.

Futurama, Married with Children, Simpsons, Red Dwarf.

The Farely brothers are doing the Three Stooges next year.

[Reply #11 on:]

Futurama. I'd also like the odd idea of an Excel Saga movie mocking cartoon movies.

Both of these are coming in 2006 I think...

I am looking forward to both but would also like to see a "Tick" movie - based on the live action show, aswell as a new Judge Dread film!

It seems hollywood is making all kinds movies based from old tv shows. How about TJ Hooker? or Punky Brewster?  Love Boat?

I've seen The Flinstones with John Goodman, it was most disappointing.  I didn't see Scooby Doo because I heard it was crappy.  Brady Bunch sucks, and I mean both the TV show and the two movies.  I even heard they did a part three where Mike becomes president.  If a brady ever got into office, I'd deport myself.

Why can't Hollywood make good movies from TV shows that I like.  Charlie's Angel's was okay, but Beavis and Butt-head do America and South Park, Bigger Longer and Uncut are good examples on how to do movies, based from TV shows.

Do you understand, Billy?  Do you understand the choice that can be made by you, and you alone?  Then decide, Billy.  Decide the world.

Futurama (duh!)
The A-Team cos zoidy74 said so
and Space, Above and Beyond which they should make using Band of Brothers cinematography.

And make it an 18 certificate.

On the DVD commentary, Barry Sonnenfeld says that if enough people buy the disks, he thinks he can force Columbia's hand and make a Tick movie.  Only question is, how much is "enough" people?

[Reply #18 on:]

Oh yes I listened to that, well people you better get buying, actually why not buy 2? 

It would make a great movie though, I would love to see some of the classic characters from the comics coming in like, Chairface, 1 ton and Paul the samurai!

[Reply #19 on:]

I would like to see a movie based on Alan Moore's Watchmen.  Actually, what I'd really like to see is a 12-part HBO series (each episode covers 1 issue of the comic) that would cover the full scope of the story, but how likely is that?

[Reply #20 on:]

A HBO-BBC 'Band of Brothers'/ 'Taken' version of V for Vendetta because their is no way they could fit it in a film.

I would like to see my comic "Manhorse" made into a film. I involves a man getting bitten by a genetically engineered horsefly and then somehow forming a symbiont being with a horse named Bob.

[Reply #23 on:]

Meh, manhorse had its moments. Is Manhorse on your website yet Patrick? Also have you even make your website yet?

>"Wow that idea is brilliant! Pity that John Constantine is fact American..."

Coming soon 'Constantine'...   

[Reply #25 on:]

Lloyd Levin, producer of Hellboy, says he's going to do Watchmen.  He doesn't seem to have a good grasp of the story, though.  Here's what he said:

"We're going to do 'The Watchmen.' It's about a group of superheroes who reunite to figure out who is trying to kill them off. It's really a unique story because it deals with the spiritual aspect of being a superhero."

Spiritual aspect?  Huh?  And I hate it when people call it "The Watchmen."  It's just Watchmen.

[Reply #26 on:]

Robocop Vs The Terminator would be a good laugh, ridiculously over the top. 

Slain from 2000AD would be interesting to, as long as they kept it quite bloody that is and isn't toned down for the kids either.

I've never been able to find the book that inspired Ghost World, its by Daniel Clowes, right? Have you read it, if so, worth purchasing? Because I love the movie, but I'd rather see how the book compared to the movie. 

[Reply #28 on:]

Neil Gaimen's Sandman graphic novels.

FishyJeff got one for me as a gift one time. It was worth reading, but I'm not sure it would be worth paying a lot of money for. I actually liked the movie better, go figure.

- Meg & The Trench by Steve Alten
-Any figgin' book by Bruce Coville, namely the Space Brat Series or the Rod Allbright alien adventures series.

That is both erotic and disturbing at the same time!

[Reply #33 on:]

Yes. If by erotic and disturbing, you mean [negative adjective #1] and [negative adjective #2].

Someone remind me to edit this post when I'm feeling more creative.

Seriously, what is that? That costume/pose is the worst thing I've ever seen.

I found out that it has a 100 million dollar buget and will be released a week afer Spider Man 2.

They've been working on doing a Sandman movie since 1996 or earlier.  At least eight different scripts have been written.  Apparently Neil Gaiman is so disgusted with the process that he now hopes the movie is never made.

[Reply #37 on:]

Aw man, there goes another piece of my soul is dissapointment.

[Reply #38 on:]

I wanted to see that Lenore movie they were bringing out, but apparently Dirge didn't like the screenplay and it got canned. Go figure.

Yeah, from what I've heard, the drafts of "The Sandman" film absolutely suck.  Like, the drafts have nothign to do with what Gaiman wrote...it's all Bruckheimer crap.
