The best Anne Roce book is the one noone has ever tried to film. Ramsese the Damned. Give us a solid mummy movie about the trap of immortality.

I remember when the original plan to follow up on Dog Soldiers was a prequel about the French Resistance fighting Nazi werewolves. Probably couldn't get a big enough budget.
I think people have this backwards. He just got home, tired and dirty. Taking his boots OFF to relax when suddenly a death machine appears over the city. This is the moment before he sighs, gets up and goes back to work.
A novel can have a character just sit in a room, doing absolutely nothing, and having a existential crisis for an entire chapter and make it compelling.
Every media has limitations. A novel let’s you get inside a character’s head in a way comics and movies generally can’t.
There are hints in the background, mostly TV news stories, about the first human deep space mission. I don't know if the latest sequel or the next will finally pay that off and do the iconic Charlton Heston movie remake. But they definitely laid the ground work for it to happen.
It wouldn’t even be hard to fit her being a doctor into the overall concept. A lot of people study psych to self diagnose. So the idea she’s a doctor AND has an underlying, hidden madness would still work.
Should being back Incredible Hulk as a series. Complete with Sad-Walking-Away music.
Using their proteges to introduce mature, fully formed main heros is a great writing short cut. No need for origin story movies. Just show all the sidekicks sitting around talking about them while watching the news or using a training simulator. Then do the heros movies later.
What Disney and MCU need to remember is Superhero is NOT A GENRE. It’s a character type that can be put into ANY genre. The majority of movies with superheros have focused on action or action-scifi. But you can do detective noir, spy thriller, horror, romance, comedy, political thriller, war hero, coming of age…
It could have been good if they had simply taken a Lower Decks approach and started her as a Lieutenant trying to prove herself. Forget the whole disgrace and redemption storyline. And not rushed to thrust her back into glory.
SNW is an ensemble show to the core. They don't spend every episode focused on Pike. Each character gets moments of development and focus.
The show has always tried to be a single lead show rather than an ensemble like any other Trek show. and the ten episode seasons really leave no room for B plots and character episodes like the older series would do all the time.
Ashoka was the prologue to Filoni's version.
I wanted an updated version of the Heir to the Empire trilogy. Main characters are older so show them passing the torch to a younger generation. Keep Thrawn's return, but tied into Rebels. Update the themes for a post-9/11 world. The New Republic isn't the idealistic government the heros wanted. Thrawn using…
Gen X here. We ARE living in a SciFi future. So many things we have today were just sci-fi dreams 30 years ago.
A movie could have a broader scope than we’ve seen in the series. Maybe something with the “Legacy” crew, Admiral Crusher revamping Star Fleet Medical as a humanitarian fleet of ships, Picard going back to being an Ambassador, Data/Lore building a new life, Laforge investigating an old ship, etc.
They recently made a new short where modern Mickey meets Steamboat Willie. Good luck dealing with Disney lawyers saying your interpretation doesn't infringe on their current copyrighted material.
All he had to do was sit on it for 20 years when Tolkien’s books become public domain in 2044.
They did. John Hurt's War Doctor was his replacement in the storyline.
