As yet unexploited possibilities in movie franchises.

RE: As yet unexploited possibilities in movie franchises.
(April 24, 2019 at 8:33 pm)Fake Messiah Wrote: Adapted from A Monster Calls writer Patrick Ness’s trilogy of books, it centres on a world on the brink of destruction where there are no women, and people can communicate with living things telepathically. It was originally slated for release in March 2019, but that date came and went without an update.

It’s said that an early cut of the film – filmed in 2017 – which also features Star Wars stars Daisy Ridley and Mads Mikkelsen, alongside David Oyelowo, ‘turned out so poorly it was deemed unreleasable by executives who watched initial cuts last year, according to current and former employees’.

And while we're on the subject: a sequel to the Hannah Montana film where Miley confronts her multiple personae, and has sex with them. Yep. She literally goes and fucks herself.

You could do 4 seasons of 6 or maybe 8 episodes, one for each book.

Jack Vance, for those who don't know him, writes mostly fantasy and science fiction, I think.
And he doesn't try to untangle the two themes.

The most fun thing about this work, apart from a dry set of humor and the cool world-building and variety of sidecharacters, is the main character.
Adam Reith is kind of overpowered, not just because he can do about anything necessary to survive, but because he thinks differently from everyone else on the planet. Exactly because he's not from there. This makes it rather funny in how he interacts with  people, thinking of  things that are  dogmatically unchangeable to them, as only a slight nuisance and peculiarity to him.

Also would love to see an adaptation of Wasp, the science fiction novel by Eric Frank Russell.
If it needs any endorsement: Terry Pratchett called it the world's funniest terrorist handbook.
It's a rush to read and flows really well. Again blending action and comedy masterfully, much like the above mentioned Planet Adventure. And more than the above, it's realistic in it's representation of fascist dictatorships, but not without a good dose of humor.

I love that series. Taking down the Dirdir is classic stuff.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Just look for movie mashups on google. I can't believe the effort people go to for shits and gigs.
