Paal_101 Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 ....what would it be? Say a big studio came to you, handed over $100 million and said "Make something really cool". What would you make?I'd have three choices myself:A movie about the Battle of Hastings.A secret agent movie.or my personal preference:A movie with some serious Roman vs. Celt or German action!!!!

SUD Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Caesar's Gallic Wars, that would be cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chichigrande Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 I'd make a movie with no plot what-so-ever. Just make it really funny and have lots of fights, guns, cars, and explosians. That's all a movie really needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khazun Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 lol-that has been tried. Every mmovie, not matter how ridiculous the plot is, needs a plot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akya Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 A movie about things that matter while being entertaining. Every great film need a good plot with emotions that touch you and make you enter the movie. Although I don't know what type of movie I'd make exactly I know it would be important to me that people connect with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
last samurai Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 i would make a movie about the huns and how they tried to conquer the roman empire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khazun Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 so it seems most people here are history fanatics? (still the old aok influence) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akya Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 I like AoK and it's the only game I can play on my computer so what ? I had an idea, I'd make The Path of the Silver Dragon into a movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khazun Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 is that a book? If so, who by? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Op Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 I would make a Silmarillion Trilogy that will butcher as much original material as possible to "spice" it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kor Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 I'd make a movie based on the Guerre de Hollande in which Louis XIV tried to conquer the Netherlands.I'd probably make a mini-series of it, though, as I want to tell it all I'd centre on the political games of the participants. There was no one who played fair back then, but Charles II deserves a special mention as a real traitor and breaker of promises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonto_Icy_Tripod Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 I'd make a comedy. Dunno anymore, except that the movie would have to be fun Perhaps I'd have Jackie Chan star in it, cause he's cool, talks cool, acts cool and does kung fu like a madman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogun 144 Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Let me see, I have a few ideas for a movie. The 2nd Punic War Caesar's Gallic Wars The Battle of Tuetonburg Forest (did I get the spelling for the first word right?) The Battle of Milvian Bridge The Battle of Adrianople The Sack of Rome, 410 AD The Invasion of the Western Empire by Attila The Battle of Hastings The Battle of Crecy The Battle of Agincourt The Battle of Saratoga The Battle of Yorktown Well thats all my ideas for moment. I will come back and finish the list later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkAngelBGE Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 @kor: Actually it's "Teuteburger Wald". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Currently writing a screenplay about the Greco-Persian Wars of 490 and 480 BC. Aristides, Themistocles, Cimon, Leonidas, Pausanias, Xerxes, Mardonius - all there.I'll let you guys know when the premiere is! Ask Paal101... he's read the opening sequence. Blockbuster, isn't it Paal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Hawk Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 well I have no idea maby 'LOTR the second incoming'ofcourse with Middle-Earth killer Monkey's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kor Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 DA, I found both Teutoburger and Teutoberger Wald as the name given to it, but now I indeed noticed that Teuteburger is also used; though I only found it associated with the modern day area, not with the German battle. The general name given to the battle in English seems to be Teutoburger (for example the standardwork A guide to the battlefields of Europe does so); as Teuteburger Wald appeared in none of my English sources and in only a few German sources (apart from the modern day place name) I chose not to use it. Three different possible names, and only one battle Complicated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Op Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 @Michel: For your LOTR sequal, why not finish "The New Shadow", which Tolkien never finished? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Hawk Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 as long as there are evil-dark killer monkey's The New Shadow, isn't that a story form 4 age ? haven't heart much about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldaron Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 I'd make a movie of some game...Metal Gear Solid maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paal_101 Posted January 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Ask Paal101... he's read the opening sequence. Blockbuster, isn't it Paal? Absolutely!!! Amazing script a lot of emotion and power, especially in the death scene IMHO it stands a great chance of getting picked up by a studio! Unfortunately I'm not on the board of New Line Another movie that I would love to make would be a really awesome sci-fi flick with lots of cool aliens and blowing big stuff up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKen132 Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Heh, do a Silmarillion movie just to make some purists mad.-actually play the music of the ainur-show Eru as an old man-make all the men wear short skirts like in some on John Howe's (I think) work-Make the lamps of the Valar huge lamps-Make Ungoliant like bite down the trees instead of poisen them to add some actionCan't think of anymore ideas at the moment...
