If Neil Gaiman is so disgusted by all the Sandman scripts, why doesn't he write one himself?

I don't know that much about sandman, but I'm gonna take a stab and guess that Gaiman's the creator. What the hell is up with creators not being able to own their own creation?

A lot of the time, comic book companies own everything a creator does, even if that person creates new characters or starts a new series. But that isn't as true today as it was when Gaiman did Sandman. Gaiman still does the occasional Sandman story for DC so he doesn't seem to mind. And unlike Alan Moore, he fortunately hasn't whined about DC not giving him the rights to creations that "morally" belong to him.

Definitly the Simpsons/Futurama crossover. Another of my choices would have been Punisher because i've been a fan for years, but their already doing it. I would also like a Justice League movie, and a Smallville movie. What's up with Bionce playing lous Lane? I would also like to see a Seineld movie, but I really doubt that will happen. Someone mentioned a Terminator vs. Robocop movie being funny (on first page). Does anyone remember the video game for Super Nintendo? (same name)

I dunno if i'd like a Simpsons/Futurama crossover movie. Just a Futurama movie would be great. I'd save the crossover idea for the comics and fanfics.

First came the rumor that Beyoncé Knowles would play Lois Lane. And continuing the trend of people of other races being rumored to play white characters, I now hear that Christina Milian is being considered to play Sue Storm in the Fantastic Four movie. (This means that the Human Torch would have to be played by someone who looks like her, since they're supposed to be brother and sister).

*bump* 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? I had a glance through this month's Total Film magazine, and supposedly this is a go-ahead. But I hold no high hopes for it. Although I enjoyed Watchmen, I think it's way too slow-paced and depressing for today's film audiences. The director (can't remember who it was- damn!) said he was planning on spreading it over three movies, LotR style which would probably put audiences off even more. I'd rather see a TV miniseries made of it as they can go into more detail, whereas the film will either be extremely boring or just have all the important parts replaced with action scenes.

The project fel through. According to Terry Gilliam (who was supposed to direct), the idea of a comedy about Armageddon didn't seem as appealing to film executives in a post-9/11 environment. @Lurrr: Last I heard, Darren Aronofsky ( Requiem For A Dream, Pi) was going to direct Watchmen.

Clicky.I think it's now confirmed for North America. I'd love to see a Metroid movie if it had the right writer/director/leading lady. I want a new 2D animated Popeye moive as well. None of this 3D animation crap they're trying to pull with the new Christmas special coming on TV later this year (On Fox no less). And of course, movie versions of both Futurama and The Simpsons respectfully.

Starring Johnny Knoxville (Luke Duke), Seann William Scott (Bo Duke), Jessica Simpson (Daisy Duke), Burt Reynolds (Boss Hogg), Willie Nelson (Uncle Jesse)
and Miami Vice http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hp&cf=prev&id=1808509769
Starring: Colin Farrell (Det. James "Sonny" Crockett), Jamie Foxx (Detective Ricardo Tubbs) I was under the impression that Miami vice and Dukes of Hazzard were TV shows. Anwyways, they're also gonna make "The A-Team: The Movie."

Personally, I think "Superman: Red Son" (the Elseworlds storyline with the Soviet Superman) could be a great movie, but I'm afraid it could get screwed up very easily.
Also, some of Pratchett's Discworld novels could be very good movies, with "Guards! Guards!" and "Small Gods" coming to mind.

Hmm...quite a lot of what I thought would make good movies are already on the bill (HG2G, etc.) But we're still missing Futurama (obviously) Stargate (full circle, so to speak) A DS9 movie. Yes, I'm kissing Teral's ass. Also, I miss new Trek movies, and I'm kinda getting sick of First Contact (my personal favorite.) A Fahrenheit 451 or 1984 remake...or did they do F451 again already? Pretty much any Discworld novel (particularly Small Gods, as Ttomalss suggested a while back, or Men at Arms) Order of the Stick...yeah, not very likely, but it's my favorite webcomic right now. Superman will probably make a comeback in a year or so...long enough to appear to mourn, short enough to cash in on Chris Reeve's death. And finally, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE STOP MAKING BATMAN MOVIES!
