After having to watch god-knows how many hours of archive Wimbledon footage this week, I decided it would be a genius idea if they made a film about John McEnroe.
McEnroe will be set at the height of his tennis career... (1980?) The genius part of this idea is that the film will be fairly comedic, as the title character will be played by Will Ferrell. Björn Borg will be played by Luke Wilson, and Jimmy Conners by Vince Vaughn. Whatcha think? |

Not exactly the same but I came up with an idea for a film the other day. It's called Kill the Famous and is about an anarchist Baader Meinhof style gang who kill celebrities. There's no real plot as of yet as it's basically born from my feelings of late that famous people are usually pathetic and deserve to be humiliated and probably murdered.

We've been overloaded with "Ferrell Sports Comedies" in recent years, but I can totally imagine those actors in those roles! There is certainly plenty of material to send up. |

And Mike Myers as Billie Jean King I'd like to see A decent adaptation of Running Man Green River Rising adapted for the screen A KLF biopic, possibly in the style of 24 Hour Party People A Bert Trautman biopic The ideas I have for a vampire movie and a sort of Godzilla film. Oh, and Marvel's Avengers, Invaders, Luke Cage, Civil War and Secret Invasion. |

QUOTE (Sostie @ May 20 2009, 10:44 AM) I'd like to see a decent adaptation of Running Man It's already on the to-do list of my co-producer and I. I can already visualise the drainpipe/sewer sequence. I also still want to do the Strontium Dog movie, but that's further down the list at the moment. |

I would definately pay good money for that. Do we actually get to kill the slebs too though?

And Dan Dare? Also would love to see the ABC Warriors on the big screen! |
