Things you'd like to have seen in a movie...

At one point, Hammer was going to do a DRACULA movie set in colonial India. Alas, the financing fell through . . .
It could have been the first Bollywood DRACULA epic!
And, I admit, I've always been kind of disappointed that that they never made that musical version of THE SILVER SURFER back in the seventies. You know, the one that was supposed to star Olivia Newton-John?
That would have been . . . something . . . .

^Agreed. I figure that premise leaves at least one film left in the tank for the AVP franchise.
Agreed. I love the TV shows; at least SG-1 & Atlantis. (I haven't seen Universe yet.) I'd wouldn't trade them for the world but I would like to see Dean Devlin's elseworlds version of Stargate II.
Sean Connery with a lightsaber would be so badass!
I'd like to see direct to video Star Trek movies set in the 24th century in the original timeline.
Not a movie but a movie tie-in: I'd like to see more Underworld novels written by our esteemed colleague, Greg Cox. (We need Amelia's backstory, dagnabbit! And the origins of the Lucian/Kraven alliance.)

God bless you! Nothing happening on the UNDERWORLD front right now, but I'm keeping an eye on the proposed 3-D movie . . . .
And, yeah, I'm dying to know more about Amelia, too!
(I tried picking Danny McBride's brain about her once, but they hadn't really worked out her backstory yet.)
BTW, I got the impression that Danny McBride didn't write the final screenplay for Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. Any idea why that was? (Personally, I felt that the dialogue took a step down in that movie. Some moments kinda felt like a 14 year old girl writing medieval fantasy fanfic.)
Honestly, I don't really know all the behind-the-scenes stuff there. He and I didn't really talk about ROTL much, although I did have a nice chat with Kevin Grevioux about Raze's backstory.
^Cool. Is he still doing those Raze prequel comics?
I don't know. That was the plan when we talked, but that was way back before the third movie came out.
1. A scene where the villain in a slasher pic is chasing the helpless girl, her running and him walking at a steady pace. Then he realises that she's got too much of a head start and gives up.
2. At the end of the horror film the villain is suddenly revealed to have miraculously survived only to be arbitarily killed off in a random and comical way
3. The macho husband saves his ex-wife from danger only for her to go back to her wimpy new boyfriend, telling him she's grateful but that nothing has changed in their relationship, later inviting him to their wedding and christening of their first child.
4. The bad guys get wounded too and actually attempt to save one another when they're hit.
5. The informer with important information to impart will say 'I'll be right back' and then does just that

A Killer goes around choping people up. He has the girl trapped in a room and she asked him why do this why? An he says cause my World of Warcraft subscription ran out. Just before he strikes her, she pulls out a 90 subscription WOW card and gives it to him and he says thanks and lets her go.
Complete with a "Cha ching!" sound effect?
This would be very interesting to see. I can't think of a movie where this has been done (though I don't doubt there may be one out there somewhere).
Could the beginning of "Inglorious Basterds" count? It's effectively a slasher flick, that just happens to be set in an alternate, bullshit version of World War II...
Darn close in "No Country for Old Men."
A Hulk who wasn't mostly mute and was played by the same actor as Dr Banner.
I would like to have seen just one---ONE---of our "heroes" in AbramsTrek suggest that they do something to undo the countless loss of life caused by the villain. In every other time travel movie that I've ever seen, the heroes actually try to undo damage done by bad guys. I don't think it's asking too much for my heroes to behave heroically.
TESB's "No, I am your father!" turned Obi-Wan into a manipulative liar. And no, I don't buy that "certain point of view" horseshit. The only way that the big reveal from TESB works for me is if Obi-Wan simply didn't know that Luke was Vader's son. Otherwise, the revelation shouldn't have been invented in the first damn place.
The Lois Lane single mom thing in Superman Returns was stupid, and the fact that Clark didn't man up and marry her as soon as he found out about the boy is unforgivable.
Ra's al Ghul is an Arab, not an Irishman. Yes, it's important---he's my all-time favorite Bat-villain.
Avatar needed a fucking script. Cameron wrote it, so he claims, over a decade ago---what, no time for revisions? It's just like that hack, Lucas---he had decades to mull over the prequels, and we get Emokin Skywhiner and Queen Ahmaborin'? Ugh. And Jar Jar! Double ugh.

The thing is with AbramsTrek, they were trying to avoid the reset button, which plagued the last Trek shows. Then there's the fact that being able to travel back in time and fix things pretty much makes the events of the story utterly pointless.
Personally, I think ditching time travel in almost all scifi franchises would be a great thing, because it opens up plot holes as to why people don't use it to fix things, even when it's been proven that things will not go to shit if they use time travel.
