Post an idea about a movie or movies that will [del]happen one day[/del] never happen. It can be anything from an original idea, a brainless idea, or a rehashing of an old idea and implant new ways to make it original.
Will it be a single movie? Will it have sequels? Spinoffs? A prequel trilogy? Posting the cast lineup is optional, but it's good to see who you had in mind.
I think I'll start:
With the craze of comic book movies, I had an idea to do a hard reboot on the Transformers films and have them based around the new IDW comics starting from where they began 2006 to wherever the gravy-train goes, possibly at the Chaos arc. Written by Simon Furmon/John Barber, Directed by Joss Whedon or Neill Blomkamp.
A possible idea for one film to start out:
[B][U]Transformers: Infiltration/Escalation[/U][/B](based off of the arcs of the same name)- 3 humans(Verity Carlo-Chloe Grace Moretz, Jimmy Pink-Josh Keaton, and Hunter O'Nion-Brad Swalie) run into a Decepticon patrol after one of them steals a datapad from a Decepticon facsimile and are rescued by Ratchet(Jeffery Combs). Them in finding the datapad has roped them into the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons. The 'Bots stationed on Earth are Prowl, Bumblebee (Johnny Young Bosch), Ironhide(Keith Szarabajka), Wheeljack, Sunstreaker(Will Friedle), and Jazz(Troy Baker). Instead of the Transformers crash landing on Earth like in G1, they just arrive to Earth around the same time and find a spot on the planet to hide out and wait to see who makes the first strike. It has a Cold War-like theme where both sides conduct stealth missions on what the other side is doing and attack them with the element of surprise. They look into the data and discover a location of a Decepticon bunker on Earth and send the humans, Bee, and Ratchet to uncover the severity of the Decepticon situation on Earth.
This will be the first of a few films that all tie together in one way or another. Will post more about the other films once I get around to it in the OP or in another post. The film(s) will be 3D CGI, with cell-shading to give it a 2D look.
An unbiased documentary of FDR's presidential career
H1D1.
A pandemic spreads throughout the world that transforms both the living and the dead into dinosaurs. It will have an all-star cast and a deep psychological narrative about what it means to truly be human.
Otherwise, it's just another zombie movie, but with dinosaurs.

During a drive home from school several years ago, my dad and I were discussing this very topic. Stuff like a good rated R Carnage movie, or Doctor Strange adaptation. Unfortunately when it finally came to original ideas, my dad had it in his head that a sci-fi movie about autistic people being aliens in disguise would not only be an okay idea, but a potential box office smash hit.
I couldn't think straight after hearing that, and simply nodded my head to hide my shame. It was by far the stupidest, most offensive thing I've ever heard my dad say. The worst bit was that he was completely serious, and sounded so passionate about it, like he was mulling over the idea for a long time.
Anything that doesn't have DiCaprio in it.
A movie based off of Grand Theft Auto IV, but with a different name.
Same voice actors from the game but with cosmetic touch-ups (Michael Hollick did the motion capture for Niko, so there wouldn't be too much work for resemblance)
I thought the script, voice acting, plot, atmosphere and everything else about it absolutely perfect. It'd be great to see it worked into a movie.
A transexual African American explores his sexuality while surviving in slavery featuring Morgan Freeman, Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep and Michael Caine.

Here is my crazy Sci Fi idea.
in the far future, humanity has colonized most of the Milky Way and has established a massive Conglomerate of nations that control most of the galaxy. As most of the habitable planets of the Milky Way have been colonized. An experimental ship known as the Seeder is developed. The Seeder itself is a colony ship with the ability to change a planet into a hospitable world for colonization, and has the first known Wormhole based engine, in which the ship itself can travel anywhere in the galaxy in a matter of days.
During it's first travel, a strange anomaly happened which caused the wormhole creation system to malfunction, in which the destination of the second wormhole has changed dramatically. Causing the ship to enter an unknown galaxy. As the ship exited from the wormhole, the crew and the colonials soon realized they were not inside of the Milky Way.
Thats my quick idea, an enclave of humans try to survive in a new galaxy.
I suck at making Sci Fi ideas.
Once there was an ugly barnacle, he was so ugly that everyone died. The End.
Okay, here's a pitch I've literally just come up with after reading this thread. It's maybe the first half of the movie, maybe like an hour of it or something like that.
[quote]We're introduced to a young man, Cal, played by, say, Ryan Gosling. He and his girlfriend of several years (played by like, Olivia Wilde or someone like that) live in a small apartment in New York City. While she's a university graduate and an accomplished novelist who works as an editor for a major magazine company, Cal is a struggling comic-book writer who takes medication for some kind of mental health issue, who stays at home every day, locked away in a tiny spare room in the apartment that he's turned into a study.
The have a fairly reasonable argument - calm, no shouting - where Cal admits that he's desperately trying to come up with a follow-up to his one and only comic book that got commissioned, a sci-fi story along the lines of classic Star Trek about a single astronaut exploring alien worlds. However, he admits that his main problem is that he'll lose interest in one idea before it's properly formed and jump immediately to working on a different one.
They go for a walk through Central Park - it's winter, and there's snow everywhere. They reminisce about when they knew each other when they were younger and would have snowball fights in the small town they both grew up in. We learn that they drifted apart in their teenage years, met by chance at a party held by one of their old classmates Maurice (played by someone like Mark Wahlberg) and fell in love with one another.
Since his girlfriend is a pretty important person in her company, she goes away on business trips around the country to visit different branches of the magazine and is usually gone for weeks at a time. She tells him that, on the way to her next meeting, she wants to stop by their hometown and maybe say hello to her parents, and asks if he'd like to come too. He says he'd rather stay away, since he hasn't spoken to his or her parents since he left the town. She leaves, and Cal is left all on his own.
This is when we find out that Maurice - who lives in New York as well - is a drug dealer, and that Cal spends every day that his girlfriend is out of town doing various hallucinogenics and basically just lying around at Maurice's apartment, tripping balls. He tries to reason that it's to help him think of new ideas for comic book scripts, but there's the idea that, while he loves his girlfriend, he is secretly really, REALLY unhappy with his life at this point.
However. Things go a bit overboard - remember that Cal takes medication for a mental health issue? Well, the combination of reminiscing about nostalgic moments with his girlfriend and the drug binge that lasts several days culminates in him just straight up forgetting to take his medication. We get an insanely psychiadelic scene where Cal, in his drug-fuelled, medication-deprived state, hallucinates an enormous tiger made entirely of flames pouncing on his girlfriend, causing her to dissolve into crazy purple light and insane shit like that. He suddenly snaps out of it and it's morning. He goes insane, is completely paranoid that the hallucination means that something bad is going to happen to her and that she might be in danger.
He takes Maurice's car and drives frantically across the state, back towards his hometown. On the way, he constantly sees things out of the corners of his eyes - private investigators watching him drive by, people flying through the air, alien planets hanging in orbit next to the moon. All fragments of the different stories he's written over the years.
Eventually he gets to his hometown. The sun has just set, and the town is completely quiet. He knocks on the door he remembers his girlfriend's parents used to live at, but gets no answer. This just makes him even [i]more[/i] worried and paranoid. As a last resort, he heads over to his old house. We get a shot of a derelict treehouse out the front, with rotten planks and practically no roof. He heads into the house, and it's empty. It's not even locked - the door just swings open as he enters.
It's at this point when we realise it's [i]unbearably[/i] quiet. Up until now we've had music, hallucinatory sounds, things like that. But now it's completely silent. He flicks the light switch, but the power is out.
Cal creeps through the dark house. He makes his way upstairs, and into his old room. It's far smaller than he remembers. There's dust everywhere, and a few old toys and posters are strewn around the room, as if no one bothered to pack up any of his old things before they left the house. There's also his old bed, still with the mattress and sheets, sat right in the middle.
Suddenly - two glowing eyes snap open from underneath the bed. The room rumbles, posters falling off the walls, shelves crashing to the ground, the floor literally shaking underneath Cal's feet. A huge, demonic creature seemingly made of shadows rises up, literally pushing the bed up and off itself as it rises up.
Cal is fucking petrified.
The shadow starts to whisper things as it grows larger and larger, engulfing the room. It tells him he should give up, to embrace the darkness, that it has his girlfriend, that he's doomed, and other things like that.
Just before the shadow completely wraps itself around the room, Cal comes to his senses and sprints away, practically smashing the old door to splinters as he runs through it. The shadow follows him, creeping quickly and silently along the walls, turning everything into a complete dark void behind him. He sprints down the stairs but it heads him off and covers the front door, so he rushes through an old, dusty kitchen and into the garage. He hits the button to open the garage doors, but obviously the power is out so he's trapped. He looks back, but the shadow is already there, spilling slowly through the door. He backs away until he's pressed up against a pile of boxes - they look like they were left behind when his family moved out. One of the boxes falls to the ground and bursts open.
Suddenly, flames rise up and pierce the shadows. The enormous flaming tiger from his hallucination back at Maurice's appears. Cal is fucking terrified. But instead of fucking him up, the tiger launches itself at the shadow and forces it back. In the chaos, Cal reaches down and straight up forces the garage door open. He gets out and watches from the road as brilliant lights stream through the house and the terrifying roars of two impossible creatures echo throughout the neighbourhood, all the way to his bedroom, before the lights dim down and the roars peter out.
There's silence. Then, the flaming tiger, slightly smaller and with slightly dimmer flames, slowly trudges out of the front door and heads towards Cal. He stares at it, completely confounded.
[sp]It looks up at him, and cracks a smile.
"Hey, Calvin! Long time no see! Was that monster serious? Did you hook up with Susie Derkins? Seriously? Man, it's been forever. Can you believe your parents packed up and left without me? They didn't even leave any cans of tuna behind. Anyway, how are you?"
It's Calvin and Hobbes. It's fucking Calvin and Hobbes. After all that, it's Calvin and Hobbes, with a grown up Calvin. Maurice is Moe, the bully. Calvin got together with Susie. His comics were all Spaceman Spiff and Stupendous Man and stuff like that. I'm so sorry. Why did I spend so much time on this.[/sp]
From then on he keeps trying to find his girlfriend, while simultaneously being pursued by shadows and other similar monsters. There are hints that other people are seeing what he sees, and it [I]isn't[/I] a massive hallucination after all, but the town is so quiet and empty that there's barely anyone else around anyway.[/quote]
But yeah, I thought it could be kind of cool. It's kind of inspired by Max Landis's "[URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sVfEFlonTk"]classic reboot[/URL]" pitch I guess, but based on something I like :v:
A movie that compares life in the 1990's versus now.

A guy can dream.
I remember writing a pretty crappy one back in middle school... Or was it high school? Eh, it's been a while. Anyway, here it is.
[quote]Title: New Motsane
Following a disaster that rendered the world largely uninhabitable, the majority of the world's population is
relocated to a crime-ridden neon-lit city in Antarctica. The story focuses on multiple characters with stories that
interwine with each other, ending in a bloodbath.
The first character, Henry, is a snitch/police informant who gets a thrill out of playing the police and gangsters
against each other. He goes from nervous and cowardly to vicious and violent, slowly but surely
becoming far worse than the small-time thugs he rats out. He wages his own private war on the mob, killing any
mobsters he can find.
The second character, a level-headed and honest detective named Marcus, investigates a multitude of crimes that are
all connected to Henry. His start of darkness begins when he gets increasingly obsessed with figuring out who has
been doing these things.
The third character, Milo, is a dangerous and impulsive meth addict who narrowly escaped a drug bust after Henry
tipped off the police. After his boss is arrested, he goes around robbing drug dealers and later
kills several innocent people due to him thinking that the dealers sent them to kill him.
It doesn't end well for any of the main characters at the end.
Milo is shot dead by Marcus
Marcus is killed by Henry, who caves his skull in with a sledgehammer.
Henry's thug hunting catches up with him and he is swiftly executed, who it was is open to interpretation.

Tell more info about the setting please.
Ok here is one. A guy who lived in Chicago during the 1920s who was a mobster rises from the grave during the 21st century and becomes a guy who is out for revenge.
Another I had is a guy who resurrects during his wake, and people start treating him as if he was Jesus.

Its quite funny, because I swear to god I read a webcomic a while ago that was basically that
was pretty funny
Humanoid aliens invade earth through portals, but they face a devastating defeat.
Humans take the war to the alien planet by traveling through the portals and crushes the alien army on their own soil
Actors would be:
Tom Cruise
Matt Damon
Bruce Willis
and Morgan Freeman
On one hand, a Marathon movie would be neat, especially if narrated by Durandal.
On the other hand, a black comedy-fantasy film based on a webcomic concept I've been working on:
[QUOTE][B]Pious Palms[/B]
Plot summary:
In the 2030's, four stoner friends who live on Pious Palms, an artificial city-island amidst the Bermuda Triangle, evoke the wrath of an eldritch deity when they bring home an ancient idol washed up on the beach and decide to turn it into a hella rad bong.
Main characters:
Sarah "Sal" Dury - 20 year old graphic designer of Scottish descent. Kind but assertive. Being the generally most intelligent member of the group, she acts as a "straight man" to the others' antics.
Dave E. Myron - Unemployed 19 year old swagger-type guy. Supports the group, but is often cynical and very passive-aggressive, quickly earning the dislike of almost everyone he meets. His poorly timed remarks tend to make situations worse than they already are.
Gary Lock - Overweight 19 year old Burger Bunker cashier. Very sociable, but also naive and pacifist to a fault. As a result, he's easily manipulated by Dave.
Marie de Wit - 18 year old emo girl who works as a morgue assistant. Despite her morbid fascinations she actually has a very pleasant disposition, possibly because she's stoned 24/7. She claims to talk to ghosts, though whether this is true or some kind of delusion is up for debate.
The Eviscerator - An ancient chaos god who also goes by the names: The Abyssal Abomination, Lord of Many Mouthless Screams, Me'anthatuth'l, and Albert. He slept in the depths of the Bermuda Triangle for thousands of years, until the descecration of one of his unholy artifacts triggered his awakening.[/QUOTE]
Honestly, a historical action movie based off of Israel's Wrath of God revenge assassinations would probably win an Oscar, depending how it's made. It's got intrigue, violence, plenty of sex, and a huge fuck up that they have to bounce back from.
In the 70's, a stoic but very intelligent officer named Jon Avery also works for an underground heroin operation in Phoenix owned by an overweight hooker-addicted crime lord named Conn Booker. Avery thought that heroin was the only thing that they were selling until he figured out that they were also running a complex sex slave institution. He hires a few ex-employees to assassinate Booker because he knows that the local police force is too corrupt to do anything about it.

I might use this some time
Remote airport is shutdown due to horrible winter storm, only personal being a few dispatchers and ground supervisors overseeing apron. Slow night shift is being interupted by incoming radio call from unknown vessel requiring immediate landing due to engine failure. Just when the team is prep to assist plane after harsh landing, newsflash on tv appears reporting supposed terrorists escaping in plane after attack on nearby city. The moment plane touches down on airfield lights go dark, cutting communication with outside world, leaving our heroes alone to face crew of damned plane and a possible traitor among airport's personnel.
