      No they’re not. They have plenty of brilliant people with lots of creative ideas. The problem is that the suits would rather make the 20th sequel than take the tiniest bit of risk.

    The Bible as a Manga series by non-Christians or Christians with no need to soap it over. Raw and gritty in the way it was originally described. Old Testament level action stories.

    So people strangely know the entire Bible without a hint of religion being demanded. Post-theology, post-religion in a way that people might understand the idea of an egalitarian world coming out of an absolute quagmire.

    It’s about a family which is under a curse that makes them die young. But it turns out the curse is actually just the millionaire family patriarch stealing organs from his descendants so he can live longer. And it ends with him locking himself in a panic room because his children and grandchildren form a mob to kill him. But what he doesn’t know is that his emergency supply of immunosuppressants has been removed, so he dies a painful death as his body rejects its foreign parts while they have him trapped.

    For legal purposes this is not based on the life of any actual living man with too much money who pumps out kids like it’s his reason to live.

    An actual faithful adaptation of I Am Legend. It’s a short as hell book and could easily be adapted almost word for word and still be a reasonably short movie. Hollywood had multiple swings at it without even bothering to try and get the main story arc or the ending right (and no, I don’t think the Will Smith alternate ending was good).

    • POV cave movie using go pros and whatnot. You can play off the claustrophobia where the main character dies in the end

    • Zombie movie but the zombie’s perspective. The whole life cycle: human to zombie to death. Play off the body transformation horror, the gore and the zombie’s instinct to survive

    A set of interwoven stories, the main being a love story. At the very end, right as everything is coming together, the planet explodes and as the screen zooms out to show the death star next to a debris field music begins to play… looking for love in Alderaan places

      I got an idea for a movie! It’s about this guy… who wished and wished 'til it came true and now this kid can fly.

      And we will have adventures, like the boy and his bottle did. Put a happy ending there and it’ll write itself, I swear.
