Here's a couple of extremely weird and far-fetched movies:

The Walking Ruth

Zombie Babe Ruth keeps rolling over in his grave with all the pansies in the current MLB, rises up, signs a contract with the New York Yankees and continues hitting homeruns while drunk.

Chuck Norris: The Man, The Myth, The Legend

Just have Chuck Norris going around showing how the "facts" about him are true.

Except it would be all Chuck Norris, not just a few minutes. You can never have enough Chuck Norris.

I saw ExII with my nephews, and they LOVED that scene.

Seriously, I think this movie would work. It would have to be short, though, because it is just a one-trick pony, but I think it could work.

I figure if they can do three 1 1/2 hour Jackass movies, this could easily be a trilogy and make tons of money at the box office.

The story of a football from the northeast that so desperately wants to be fully inflated. And the obstacles that are encountered.

Any thoughts on the antagonist character?

A movie called Lunch where you follow the lives of 4 different kids during lunch in High School in the early 80's on a friday. Set in Northern CA.

Lunch time back then was really relaxed as kids went off campus to enjoy life.





Just more freedom movies especially for kids.

Three mid teen friends develop a time machine but the kicker is it only goes 15 minutes into the future and 15 back in time. Could be funny . 2 boys and a girl star.

A average baseball minor league player passes away(Crash Davis type) and goes to heaven to see all the greats playing ball and is welcomed with open arms to join in and play in the ....Heaven League .


Wow so many options for this movie. I would go see this one for sure. Might be a little too close to Field of Dreams so it might need to be tweaked .

movies based on video games are hit and miss. Resident Evil is easily the best out of the batch but it didn't have a lot that could be lost in translation. A lot of other attempts have failed. How would they go about a Zelda movie my curiosity is peaked. Casting, who would they film it etc.....

And should these movies be animated or live action?

I cant imagine a live action Zelda. Just too cheesy. But when I try to imagine it as an animated flick, it strikes me as too much for children.

Doom was made into a live action movie, but it was a flop.

Final Fantasy had one movie done in the acted-out-animation, and I have no idea how that did (never saw it).

Last of us seems to be a no-brainer for a movie, but there is already enough controversy over casting for that one that I suspect it will never be done.

Fall Out is a GREAT concept, but I don't see it translating well to a movie, either in live action or animation.

Anyone remember the cartoon Wacky Races? I used to catch a bunch of reruns on Boomerang and had the idea that it would be a great movie. I started casting it, but can only remember Johnny Depp as Dastardly, the guy who always cheated to try to win, but it would backfire on him.
