Honestly I would kill for hadestown the musical as an animated movie. Or most musicals for that.
The Mona Lisa as an audiobook.
My favorite passage: “…”
As not read by Toni Morrison.
Terminator 2: Judgement Day: The Linux Distro
Hazards of Love by the Decemberists would make such an amazing stage musical. The story is all in there, a lost child raised by the woods, a forbidden romance, a betrayal by the scorned mother with the ultimate death of the lovers together! Tie in with the rake B story for the intermissions and you have everything you need to work with.
It would be a majestic mix of Rock ballad and Shakespearian tragedy.
I was obsessed with ‘O Valencia!’ and ‘sons and daughters’
I want Roland Emmerich to make a movie out of the short story A Pail of Air.
tl;dr/spoiler: ~20 years ago, a black hole passed through the solar system and captured the Earth, dragging it inexorably away from the Sun. This causes great earthquakes, tsunami, and other immediate civilization-ending catastrophes, but the real disaster comes when the atmosphere freezes and falls like snow to the ground. The original story follows a young boy born after the cataclysm whose chores include collecting buckets of frozen air.
Should post that on !shortstories@literature.cafe
The 1812 Overture to braille
The Divine Comedy to a high budget high quality movie.
I want an animated show of the Stormlight Archives. Something in the style of the Netflix Castlevania series or similar. I don’t think a live action show could do it justice without an insane budget.
This, but also the Dresden Files. I never watched any of the live action show, but I think a series would be a success animated (with some reasonable fat cutting a la Vox Machina)
Oh thats bloody brilliant. Honestly I want a good adaptation of everything Brandon Sanderson. Whatever form it takes
I would like to see Gantz adopted as an American TV series.
I think it would be interesting what it would say about MAGA.
Oooh. I want the cartoon mini-series Over the Garden Wall to be adapted into a stage show. With the way the episode are written, it already feels like it’s divided by scenes and acts, and it has some existing musical numbers. I think there’s a lot of room to have lighting effects and other traditional theater elements, and have longer versions of the songs to make an enjoyable version of the story on par with the cartoon in a new medium.
Blood Meridian as an illustrated children’s book.
Bobiverse tv show. But even getting the rights for the pop culture references would be too hard to pull off
Waiting for that Bioshock Movie
That’s a risky thing to wish for. Could be awesome! Could be an unwatchable green screen nightmare.
Would be epic, should be fairly easy to adapt the story as well. Although i thought the same about Halo and they fucked that up lol
I want pjvm’s web comic, Techno Mage, to be a cartoon. I’d watch it.
I would love to see The Protomen’s albums adapted into a muscial (assuming they ever finish Act 3). Reading the liner notes while listening along gets close, and they already did the music for “Terminator the Second” (musical shakespearian adaptation of Terminator 2).
The rest of the Berserk manga into anime. I’ve always wanted a continuation of the 1997 series. The 2016 one was… Eehhhhhh…
