Cinematic Dreams

I don't know why, but I've come up with a list of things I'd love to see happen in the cinema world, but probably never will.

  • Quentin Tarantino directing Romeo and Juliet
  • Bruce Lee in The Matrix
  • Bruce Lee vs. Jackie Chan vs. Jet Li. vs. Jason Statham
  • James Bond (Daniel Craig) either versus or teamed with Jason Bourne
  • Quentin Tarantino directing Hamlet
  • A remake of The Longest Day
  • Al Pachino & Robert DiNero teaming up again, preferably with Martin Scorsese directing
  • Some of Vince Flynn's novels getting made into movies
  • James Cameron comes back and re-does Terminator 3 and make it not stink
  • Jason Statham in a Quentin Tarantino movie
  • Hugh Jackman playing James Bond
  • Batman (Christian Bale) vs./teams with Superman (Brandon Routh)
  • A Dirty Harry remake with Kiefer Sutherland as Harry and Kevin Spacey as Scorpio
  • A new Robin Hood movie that doesn't stink (and keeps Robin as the hero)
  • A Splinter Cell movie
  • That Disney gets it's act together and stops making bad movies
  • A Metal Gear Solid movie
Feel free to suggest further additions to the list.

There should never be gaming movies.

Also, I read your story. I kind of like a move away from descriptions of violence to a story about something else. This was a cool combination.

It's kind of a guilty pleasure to write action stories, but this one (which doesn't really qualify as one) was really good.

Yeah, I didn't wanna write a shoot-em-up for my very first assignment for that class.

And I only had 1000 words to work with.
