What Movie or Television Series Do You Wish Exists

I know there have been a few fan films, but Elfquest still needs either an animated series, or live action; I don’t care !

Ayooooooah!!

Who would have thought after all these years it would actually materialize? History of the World Part II? For real? This trailer remains hard to believe. But here it is.

A few I want to see, in order of realistic shots:

  1. Night Circus. Outstanding book that would work with a decent budget. They were supposedly going to make it before the pandemic hit, but silence since.

  2. Robert Asprin’s Myth Adventures and Phule’s Company series. Sit-coms aren’t working well now, but what about fantasy or Sci-Fi comedies? Phule’s Company could probably be updated to modern attitudes better, but both could be good.

  3. Rick Cook’s Wizard’s Bane series. Probably too niche, but a series about a programmer ripped out of Silicon Valley to a magic world who learns how to program magic is something I want to see.

I’d like to see that Jim Henson’s The Storyteller reboot/revival actually get off the ground.

Does Mel Brooks play God in this movie? He’s about the right age for it.

He could play the 2000-year-old-man without any makeup at this point.

I wish they hadn’t made History of the World Part II. It ruins the joke at the end of the movie.

Do you read Girl Genius?

Now there would be a great idea for an animated show.

Dragon Riders of Pern, anyone?

I mean, they can do dragons pretty good now.

A Pern series would be great, but they’d have to make sure to do one book per season and always end the season with closure. A show with CGI dragons is going to be prime cancel-bait unless it puts up GoT-level numbers.

Someone else who read Robert Asprin’s stories! Jumps with happy joy!

I would LOVE to see someone make those books into a series. Can you imagine what they would do with Deva? or Limbo?

I read all of them decades ago but I remember almost nothing about them. I do remember enjoying them though. I binged them, which is probably why I don’t remember much.

I’d take an Everything Everywhere All at Once series that follows Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan through all the various parallel universes, please and thank you.

I liked the Thieves’ World anthologies, which weren’t all written by Asprin but were edited by him.

I also read Another Fine Myth which was pretty good IIRC.

The Xanth novels might make a good anime.
