Movie Ideas, That Haven't Been Done, That You Would Like To See Made?

[Daedius]

Horror film set in Roman/Ancient Greek period.

[Triceron]

Full blown Dunwich Horror as it was meant to be.

[MrLachyG]

I'm a big fan of the author Matthew Reilly, so a movie based on his works would be great

[StillMcfuu]

Nice list.

Off the top of my head, some movies you might want to check out until those get made:

1. Steamboy - OK, its not quite 'alien' sci-fi but it is definitely sci-fi set in 1860's England.

2. Red Tails - About the Tuskegee airmen in WW2. Not the greatest film but not terrible.

3. A D&D movie set in Neverwinter is set to release in 2023: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2906216/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

Tuskegee Airmen, Redtails is like the Wish version of Tuskegee Airmen; fantastic cast, great movie, I highly suggest seeing it. Its an HBO movie so its probably on HBOmax. There is also that navy diving moving. Buffalo Soldiers. As well as Glory which is one of the best war movies made.


On topic:
I second a Baldur's Gate/Oblivion style movie or 2. High fantasy with lovecraftian horror.
Really I'd take any fantasy/medieval setting with a twist. Horror, drama, hell I love Knight's Tale and thats essentially fantasy with a love twist.

I'd like to see more movies with Africa and its folklore as the backdrop. Movies like Ghost and the Darkness.

I want more racing movies, there really are only 2 that really stand out, Days of Thunder and Drive.

Pretty sure Cowboys & Aliens fit the number one slot. Its not medieval but it is set in a historical time during the steam age, though near the end of it.

I havent watched the movie. I just know of it.

1. Cowboys and Aliens
2. Red Tails
3. Sure why not

I was totally aware of Cowboys and Aliens which is why Medieval and Aliens was the next logical step lol...

Red Tails is a good shout out but its badly researched and not a very good movie in general. So yes it exists so I guess you win there, but its not something you still see a lot of despite how much has been unearthed about the subject matter. I mean no Walter Tull movie? Come on :P

Replied to the wrong person earlier;

oof a D&D movie set, I am little sceptical it will be good....

Also, a movie about Lord Byron and his travels.

...there has been like 7 LOTR movies period (1 Ralph Bakshi, 6 Peter Jackson but I barely count the Hobbit Trilogy) and Sherlock Holmes is public domain so it's super cheap to use him over well let's say Azeroth

Maybe I should have said LOTR universe, you are being a little pedantic there though, I get the feeling you knew what I meant.

If you meant LOTR Universe IE Middle Earth then no there have barely been any movies in said universe..add in by all accounts 2 of them are a remake of an adaptation and 3 of them were a REALLY crappy cashgrab that barely count in the whole swing of things

Unless my memory is foggy I only know of 7 movies in the Lord of the Rings franchise

Ralph Bakshi's animated version
Peter Jackson's Trilogy
and The 3 Hobbit Movies

and by all accounts Bakshi's and Jackson's version were damn near miracles. Now if your thinking Pure fantasy novels LIKE Middle Earth well..that's different.

7 movies is enough to fit the criteria I was talking about without the upcoming series anyway lol. There aren't many universes that get that many and all would fit my thought of being overdone.

[Ihavewaffles]

Interesting concept think of a type of movie theme that you think hasn't been made yet.

Some ideas:

1. A Sci-Fi/History hybrid. Think Alien Invasion in Medieval Europe. (Similar to movies like War of the Worlds which adaptations have never made in its actual setting (Victorian England) from the books, outside of the musical)

Uhm, prob cuz bows n arrows vs lazerz is too much?..

Hmmm..As I wrote that, they did that movie...RotJ..



Or maybe ewoks count as stone age?? dunno..

[Ihavewaffles]

a medieval version of john carter of mars? a knight instead of a cowboy

[PrimiOne]

There's this 80's movie with Klaus Kinski and Harvey Keitel: Star Knight.

It's a horrible movie tough lol

[Fencers]

Horror film set in Roman/Ancient Greek period.

That's a great idea! Perfect elevator pitch.

[Easo]

It kinda has been done, but Warhammer 40k movie, in full glory. But that is basically impossible without insane amount of money. It would take a genius to translate that to actual cinema without totally failing.

Horror film set in Roman/Ancient Greek period.

Write that down, WRITE THAT DOWN!

P.S.
Red Tails was absolute crap. I am never going to forget the "heroically not being absolutely literally torn in pieces after chest tanking multiple 30mm (!!!) autocannon rounds from Me-262 and having enough time to keep flying and do the tearful goodbye speech to his friend" stupidity.
