Movies to be or not to be...

There are lots of movies that are on the bubble in terms of whether or not they will be made. To name a few: The Hobbit, Halo, Gears of War, Jurassic Park IV... Which movies do you really hope they make, that are on the "bubble."

They really need to make the Hobbit, but they haven't written a script, and Peter Jackson isn't going to direct it. Instead Gullerimo Del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy 1, and Hellboy 2: The Golden Army) is going to direct it. It is rumored that Ian Mckellen will reprise his role as Gandalf, and Andy Serkis will reprise his role as Gollum/ Smeagol. Any ideas on who could play Bilbo, Thorin, Balin, Beorn, and Smaug's voice? it is scheduled for 2011, which seems very realistic.

I would like to see a Halo movie. I think the game was cinematic enough, that it will be easy enough to make a movie about it. I think Christian Bale would be a great choice for Master Chief, because he sounds awesome under a helmet or mask, or maybe Kiefer Sutherland, because he has an incredible voice. They should use Jen Taylor as Cortana she was perfect in the games. Maybe Jamie Fox or Samuel L. Jackson as Johnson. Ron Perlman is perfect for Lord Hood. Reese Witherspoon for the commander. I don't know, but Halo could have a really good cast, because it was such a popular video game, and box office results are sure to be good. It is announced for 2009, but there is no way in hell that's happening. They don't have a script or cast. Peter Jackson is supposed to be the Director/Producer for it.

What are your opinions?

Metal Gear Movie would = epicker

I'd like to see The Hobbit but Im not too sure about the director. I didnt care for Hellboy and The Orphanage and I thought Pans Labyrinth looked dull.

I wouldnt mind seeing a Halo movie directed by Steven Speilburg or the guy who directed Aliens (Drawing a blank on the name atm) and I would love to see another Jurrasic Park.

Btw, the Gears movie is still being made and its sceduled for 2010.

uhh movies based on video game Bad idea halo is already way over worked a movie will push it past it's limit and just make it suck that much more.

I do think they really need to make the hobbit movie though, that would be awesome.

Dynasty Warriors movie would be awesome.

As would another Final Fantasy movie.

Jurrasic Park movies are always intense. I wouldn't mind another one.

*Heads Explodes*

This sounds weird but I think Sean Connery would be a great voice for Smaug (probly spelled wrong I'm lazy :P) the Dragon in Hobbit and....it has to be made but ...why wouldn't Peter direct it? He did such a great job with LotR :(mechwarrior_bob

What's weird about that statement is that Sean Connery voiced Draco in the movie Dragonheart, which was a dragon.

Jurrasic Park movies are always intense. I wouldn't mind another one.

A new Mummy is coming this year. It's called "Tomb of the Dragon Emperor".

I heard about Del Toro making the Hobbit, can't wait for that. I'm a little tentative though, while I love Hellboy I'm not sure about the kind of visual style he would use. Still, a fresh take is always great(except with Dawn of the Dead. Let sleeping corpses lie!)

I was thinking about a Metal Gear Solid movie last night. I think a good director might be John McTiernan. He can make great action sequences while also skillfully revealing plot twists. I haven't thought of anyone for Solid Snake yet, but they should get like a contortionist for Pyscho Mantis, and have the voice actor from the game do his lines.

MGS4 was practically a movie with its 45 minute ending cutscene.... I want the deathnote series to be made into actual quality movies. They made two, but they had some bad acting, and poor special effects, and didn't stick close to the story. I want a quality remkae of those. It is a controversial, exciting, mysterious series that anyone should be able to enjoy...

I want a movie like 300, with that almost artistic quality, to be made for a series, or a game with a thicker plot than 300.... Like FF, or as I mentioned earlier deathnote...
