If youre were a Hollywood executive, what would you make?

remember the gag from Last Action Hero where Arnold played Hamlet in an action movie version ? I'd make that.

Id watch it.

I've said it many times, and I'll say it again. I'd make Jaws 3 2.

FWIW, Affleck was a good choice for Batman.

I've pitched this before, but a comedy about a women's ncaab coach with Jane Lynch would kill.

Or a deep dark CIA movie about the true story of Howard Hughes lending the government his boat to pull up a sunken soviet nuclear sub.

Or just remake 80s sh#t, that seems to be keeping execs employed.

I would make a real story about Thermopylae - hire Ridley if I could get him (and Whedon if I couldn't) and use the story from "Gates of Fire" upon which to base the script. In fact, perhaps I would get HBO to make it as a mini-series. There is a ton of material, from the training era, to the mobilization, the battle and aftermath - with 6 to 10 hours, we could perhaps cover from the beginning of the story through Plataea.

I'd also consider a true-to-the-original Star Trek reboot series (not film, weekly series) - that may happen, though a fan-based series, though.

I would also try to get a Nolan original project out every 3 years or so. A true original in an Hollywood bereft of new ideas.

I would fund more Zowie Bowie films set in the Moon universe.

I would fund more Mike Judge projects.

Rainbow 6 - To get the money pouring in
The Modern Cyclops story line in the X Books
I'd green light Battlestar: Blood and Chrome
An Edgar Allan Poe Biopic
And my pet project - A modern day version of House of Seven Gables

Hasn't this been in development hell almost since the book was written?

something that ends with zombies eating billy ray cyrus

To get the bankroll going: I start by adapting The Giver

Hbo series on kings books. Each season a different book. Giving them the tribute and adaptation they deserve that basic cable and 80s cgi just couldnt do.Starting with these 4 in this order:

It
The Stand
The Talisman
The Dark Tower series
