Shows You Would Like To See Adapted Into Movies
Let's face it: Remakes and reboots are the bane of the cinematic world. However, there will be a few instances in which this idea works, and in those times making truly good movies. A big trend seems to be remaking old TV shows into new blockbuster films. So what shows do you think, if done right, could make super kickass movies you'd pay to go see? Is there someone you'd have in mind to be apart of the feature (actor, director, ect.)?
First on my list is good ol' "Land of the Lost." No, not the god awful comedy crapfest, but an actual adventure film full of science fiction, action, and wonder. Almost in the vain of movies like "Indiana Jones," "Jurassic Park," "King Kong (remake)," and "Romancing the Stone."
I can't think of a director right now, but I think Hugh Jackmand would make a good Rick Marshall.
Another choice for me would be an old school robot show I love called "Super Robot Red Baron." It's a great old school science fiction show that mixes giant robots with some espionage in between. I think that if you pump up the government agent aspect and juice up the robot fights that you could make one hell of an action movie. The robot designs were really cool, the show's first villain Dr. Deviler was a cool Blofeld-esque foe, and it gave an epic but fun feel to everything. I could see the likes of Jon Favreau making the movie.
