I'd like to see Survivour by Chuck Palanhuick made into a
film. The whole book had a very cinematic feel/flow to it
and I think it would work very well.

I'd also like to see a film of the DC Comics character Green
Arrow (but from the late 80s period when it was still Oliver
Queen, not his son). It should be dark and realistic, like
the first Batman film (as opposed to the overblown comic
stylings of the later films). It's really the ideal comic
for a film, the story lines are some of the most realistic
and well written and his relationship with The Black Canary
would probably allow them to make a film that would appeal
to females with no interest in comics as well.

I would do a Four Rooms type thing and have a different
director do each book. My list would be as follows:

Ron Howard
Joel Schumaker
Penny Marshall
Ingmar Bergman

My cast would be:
Susan B. Anthony as Cujo

Seriously though that would be a tough one. Kubrick would
be good to direct but he has passed on. Burton might be
able to pull it off, or Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Clint Eastwood
would be the perfect Roland in his day, although I am not
sure who would be good now.

if we could somehow mix peter jackson and david lynch into
one being, then wed have a good director for dark tower.

and eastwood IS who roland is, if you think about it.

where do you think king got his vision of roland? eastwoods
anti-hero in westerns.

Lynch might be able to pull it off. Dune was earlier in his
career, but this is also an adaptation of a somewhat
sci-fi/fantasy novel. In any case The Dark Tower done like
Dune would not be pretty. That is why I thought of Jeunet,
ala City of Lost Children. Fincher might also not be a bad
canidate, thinking specifically of Alien 3.

you gotta remember... youre on book 2.

it gets different.

theres some really actiony scenes that i just couldnt see
jeunet pulling off.

maybe he could, i dont know.

and fincher seems a bit dry to pull off the fantasy aspect.

What about Burton? He could really make the sets work, but
maybe he couldn't get the gritty aspect nailed down. Maybe
Burton and Martin Scorsese could co-direct heh.

um burton... maybe maybe. but remember what happened last
time he did an action flick? ugh.

scorsese i wont even dignify with a comment. i really dont
dig on him much at all.

Or maybe by the time it would be made Chris Cunnigham would
be doing full length features. Somehow I could see that guy
pulling it off well.

see, its tricky. something like that would have to be very
particular or it would be lame.

i still say angela basset as odetta/detta/susannah/mia
and sean penn (or MAYBE someone like jude law, MAYBE) as
eddie.

heh that was more of a joke because I said about the gritty
element .. although I actually kind of dug Gangs of New

david thelewis?

maybe, but like i say.... everyone changes in the books.

so eddie the junky as you know him now becomes someone
different, and the actor would have to be able to do both
convincingly (hence penn)

David Lynch & Mark Frost's One Saliva Bubble

second Ronnie Rocket and Ghostbusters 3

Kubrick's Napoleon biopic starring Jack Nicholson circa
'75=80 would have been really interesting had it gone ahead.

Did anyone else know that the part of Forrest Gump was
originally supposed to be played by Bill Murray? I would've
liked to have been able to see it with Bill in it, I'd watch
him in anything.
