Mine is being made now. Can't wait to see Joaquin Phoenix as Napoleon

I wish they would continue where Mongol left off and finish the story of Ghengis Khan.

The Horus Heresy series from the 40K universe would make an incredible series of movies, if done well and faithfully to the source material.

On a Pale Horse is a top 10 books of all time for me. Would make an incredible movie if done right.

For me, "For Love of Evil" was my favorite. It really takes a unique twist on "Satan".


BTW, On a Pale Horse was solid. The tech is now available to properly show "Death's" Steed.

Tarantino making a movie based on the Munster Rebellion. The story is absolutely fricking insane and it actually happened. It has it all. Religion, war, sex, and bleak hilarity. Everyone but the Duke dies violently in the end, but it just reeks of Tarantino and I hope someone has told him about it because he’d find it tempting. Call it Prophets of Doom, with the Os in the logo being the cages where our protagonists find themselves at the end of the film.

One with a powered female protagonist who goes through a true hero's journey instead of whatever the writers thought they were doing with Rey and Captain Marvel.

• Man from U.N.C.L.E. 2
• Star Trek film set in the Star Trek universe that doesn't reference any previous character or ship.
• Star Wars film set in the Star Wars universe that doesn't reference any previous character or ship.
• Blackhawk (DC)
• Metal Men (DC)

I'd love an HBO series for Elric of Melniboné

Elric is described in 1972's Elric of Melniboné:

It is the colour of a bleached skull, his flesh; and the long hair which flows below his shoulders is milk-white. From the tapering, beautiful head stare two slanting eyes, crimson and moody, and from the loose sleeves of his yellow gown emerge two slender hands, also the colour of bone.

Elric is the last emperor of the stagnating island civilization of Melniboné. Physically weak, the anemic Elric must use drugs (special herbs) to maintain his health and vitality. From childhood, he read freely in the immense royal library and learned of the world outside the Dreaming Isle. Perhaps due to this in-depth study, unlike other members of his race, Elric has a conscience. He witnesses the decadence of his culture, which once ruled the known world, and worries about the rise of the Young Kingdoms populated by humans (Melnibonéans consider themselves separate from humanity), along with the threat they pose to his empire. Because of Elric's introspective self-loathing and hatred of Melnibonéan traditions, his subjects find him odd and unfathomable. However, his cousin Yyrkoon (next in the line of succession, as Elric has no heirs) interprets this behaviour as weakness and plots Elric's death. Complicating matters is Yyrkoon's sister Cymoril, who is deeply in love with Elric; Yyrkoon covets her, and part of his plan for usurpation is to marry Cymoril himself.

In addition to his skill with herbs, Elric is an accomplished sorcerer and summoner. As emperor of Melniboné, Elric is able to call for aid upon the traditional patron of the Melniboné emperors, Arioch, a Lord of Chaos and Duke of Hell. From the first story, Elric uses ancient pacts and agreements with not only Arioch, but various other beings—some gods, some demons—to help him accomplish his tasks.

Elric's discovery of the sword Stormbringer serves as both his greatest asset and disadvantage. The sword confers upon Elric strength, health, and fighting prowess, allowing him to do away with his dependence on drugs, but it must be fed by the souls of intelligent beings. In the end, the blade takes everyone close to Elric and eventually Elric's own soul as well. Most of Moorcock's stories about Elric feature this relationship with Stormbringer, and how it—despite Elric's best intentions—brings doom to everything he holds dear.



You think GoT is dark, Elric is WAY weirder and darker.

Tom Hiddleston is the perfect actor to play him.

I want my goddamn Dino Riders movie
