You've been given a billion dollars with the caveat to finance your own show or movie.

What will you adapt? What original ideas will you come up with?

I'd 'cast' actresses to sit on my face and film it

Reality show about me, where I just spend the money on myself

Charlie Parker series. Ethan Hawke to play Charlie

Shakara the animation

I forget...how much was in that pile?

a clockwork orange except all the characters are little girls

8 part miniseries on the Battle of Britain
youtube.com/watch?v=jLtZ3xnSK40

I'd direct four or five dramas with some actors that I like, some 7-8/10 films on IMDB that are worth the while, but aren't GOAT until I have 2 billion then do two times

probably a run of the mill capeshit movie set in China

I'd make several movies

>The canaanite holocaust
>Remake of the eternal jew
>The Battle of Vienna
>Byzantium 1200
>Byzantium 1492
>Israel bombing of USS Liberty
>Freddy vs Jason vs Ash
>Clive Barker's nightbreed 2 and 3

minecraft movie

I'd finance an Agents of S.W.O.R.D. film continuation of the AoS TV series that would feature any of the legacy Avengers left alive after Avengers 4. I'd probably use most of the money convincing Feige to not be an asshole.

A billion dollars is a lot of money. 5-10 Hollywood films could be made with that money. I'd spend the rest on patching together the MCU and reviving Damage Control which would of course connect to Spider-Man Homecoming. I'd bring back Agent Carter for season 3 that would show the start of SHIELD and not end on a cliffhanger. I'd also finance Ghost Rider and Blade Netflix series and the actors would be required to appear in at least one future film.

Shoot it on my iphone and release it on youtube.
Monetize it and close comments and disable ratings.
Pocket the billion.

a completely accurate adaptation of salo 120 days of sodom

except all the characters are little girls

>take the money
>pay someone to kill the people who gave it to me
>enjoy a billion dollars

Fuck Television and Film, you're not the boss of me.

Pay 990 million to myself for my director role and use the other 10 million to film some experimental mini series.

>a billion dollars
nigga you only need max 30m to make a good film, and that's with room for a lot of expenses

I'd do a 20 part mini-series of the Silmarillion. I'd do it silently on part of the actors with only narration from the various Vala. The narration would change depending on when it happens (Manwe in the beginning, Aule for the dwarves birth, Melkor for the fall of Numenor, Ulmo for Turin).

It would be amazing but critically panned. I would be okay with it and call the masses plebs in interviews.

I came here to post this

I would start two similar but opposing children franchises. The new Digimon vs Pokemon or Mario vs Sonic, children engaged in a proxy war without knowing that I will reap the benefits regardless.

>webm
son of a bitch

A tale of forbidden love between a man and a younger girl, being shunned by society eventually they prevail in the end. Casting myself

Came here to post this, except that Id actually make it good unlike this guy.

NOBODY WILL WATCH IT

The Culture.

kys

Propaganda movie about Yugoslav Wars shot on location so I anger both sides so much that there is another war. Shoot that for 100 million and pocket the rest. Blame the war on failed production and the missing money.

A post apocalyptic drama with a western aesthetic wherein Rihanna wonders around trying to get the various communities to come together again and rebuild the world.
Every episode would have a ten minute uninterrupted lesbian sex scene with Rihanna and a new woman showcasing full frontal nudity
Guest stars would include Alexandra Daddario, Taylor Swift and Lyndsey Fonseca

It would be revolutionary

What would you do in your version?

>tfw idiot throws away a 20k$ truck for no reason but you cant even afford 3 meals a day

A live-action Evangelion trilogy with Weta on visuals and actual teenagers for the main characters. I'm sure it would suck shit like every other anime adaptation but it'd be fun to make at least. Oh and the entire trilogy would be filmed on 15/70 IMAX, and since I've got a billion dollars all the CGI will be rendered at 8K.

An episode of BLACKED shot on location

On Mars

The Hobbit as a TV series. One episode per chapter, each episode running at twenty-five minutes except for the finale which would be an hour special.

A good team of directors led by me, a nice whimsical tone with just a little bit more of a serious edge for the final couple of episodes, and some fuckin great practical effects and puppetry done by the Jim Henson company.

>CGI
Just build actual fucking giant robots

It's licence mass effect and actually find a good drama writer

For a billion I could do literally anything.

I would definitely cast a diverse cast of blacks, asians and women.

2,000 chicks at the same time

I'd make a trilogy of Xenozoic Tales aka Cadillacs & Dinosaurs films.

>First film establishes world, Hannah meets Jack and fesseden goes missing. Rivalry with Terhunes escalates, includes Jack and habnah stranded in wildeness and ends with a showdown at Fesseden Station.

>second film is city betrays Jack in first act, jack and hannah flee to wasoon. They get together and Jack fights to near death with her former lover. They make up and join forces, plan to return to city in the sea

>movie three battle for the city, jack wins but Hannah dies

if you were to do this, you should cut out most of the pre-Ramiel angels. most of the first 11 episodes of the show are filler.

Shogun by James Clavell, 100% faithful to the book including speaking the 5 different languages with subtitles. Or an adaption of the manga Gate, but with British soldiers instead of Japs.

what does Mass Effect have going for it without the structure of an RPG? the universe and story aren't that interesting on their own, it's the characters and your agency within the story that makes it good.

Why not just remake Triumph of the Will where you get drilled by those faggot nazi dicks you love so much?

All of those movies are gay porn.

I'd finance another season of Stargate SG1 but keep it short like the x-files season and use it to wrap up the Atlantis and Universe stories as well as setup a possible continuation.

hit up anno and give him like 100 mil for eva 4.0

You can afford real actors (white men), why settle for garbage?

I would directly adapt the first game. Change up the 3 main missions in the middle with more drama... Perfectly formed act 1 2 and 3

White cis male shitlord detected

Like honestly, Eden prime + Citidel are absolutly perfect act 1's. Virmire and Ilos are perfect act 3's

i would hire terrence malick to make a superman film. this wouldn't be like regular capeshit though, it would be like an art house film, like tree of life: superman. there would be only one small action scene in the entire movie, and superman would only be in costume for like 5 minutes total. the rest of the movie would focus on clark kents everyday life. there would also be an opening sequence showing how superman got to earth and his home planet destroyed and his life growing up as a kid with powers he doesn't yet know how to control. it would be similar to unbreakable in terms of being a "superhero" movie without really being a superhero movie at all. i think it would be worth it just to see the audiences rage after they went in expecting a regular marvel movie. as for who would actually play superman i dont know, i would like to cast him as just a regular guy, like keanu reeves or juaquin phoenix. other actors i would like to include would be personal favs like Christopher Waltz and Edward Norton. the goal would be for this to be the single most polarizing movie of all time.

i would then use the rest of the money to become emma robert's pusy slave for the rest of my life

Fund several dozen more transformers movies. But replace the transformers with little girls.

Then do berserk.

cause nazis lost and kill more europeans than jews

for a video game, sure. a blockbuster movie can't switch locations that often without completely killing the pacing. i think you'd have to cut Noveria, Feros, and the mining planet where you find Liara completely. Eden Prime > Citadel > Virmire > Ilos would work, maybe. have to do some serious plot streamlining, and it'd be hard to work in all the party members.

so... you'd make Man of Steel?

Hire Richard Linklater to make a movie about 20 years of Taylor and Karlie's marriage

Hire the Blue is the Warmest Color guy

The last half hour of MoS was nothing but action though

>so... you'd make Man of Steel?
No. Like I said it would be a lot like Tree of Life or To The Wonder. Basically a Terrance Malick movie that just happens to have superman in it.

okay, but in every other way it completely matches that description.

An adaptation of Front Innocent. So like Gone with the Wind, but with a lot of exposed bush and Eyes Wide Shut style orgies.

Tens of millions, but not a billion.

It was very stupid of Walt to rent a storage space under his own name. Any career criminal aware of his wealth, of which there were several, could have traced it down.

Ok so it would be that I guess but a not shit version. I dont even remember the movie that well, all I remember is Henry Cavil being the worst actor I've ever seen and superman basically killing everyone in New York

You are now aware that with a billion dollars you could get Taylor, or any woman on Earth for that matter, to do any kind of porno you wanted.

XCOM adaptation in the style of Generation Kill.

I'd make a new movie about how I get beautiful gold digging whores to suck my dick and balls in expensive cars while I get fucked up off good drugs.

Alexandra Daddario and Kaya Scodelario getting Blacked for 2,5 hours while Party Rockers plays nonestop. At the end both give birth to black babies

pay Christina Hendricks to get naked and play with her tits on camera for 40 minutes and release that. then enjoy being a billionaire with the rest of my money

For that kind of you money, you probably could convince them to get knocked up and do live births on camera. Like that could be $400m each.

An extravagant film series adaption of the Hyperion Cantos perhaps?

I'd enjoy watching that.

i would make the shittiest most pretentious arthouse film ever made, literally just something like blades of grass blowing in the wind for an hour and a half. then i would pay all the critics to give it super high reviews and praise it as the best movie ever made. i would sit back and watch Sup Forums and all the other psuedo film buffs and film students hail the movie as a great visionary work. they would call anyone who didn't like it a brainlet retard and claim that "they just don't understand it". would be fun

I make a documentary about cocaine addiction by using cocaine every single day for 10 years and filming myself snorting cocaine and talking about cocaine.

dude made it tho

starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mandalorian_Wars

It'd probably be a trilogy.

40 minutes? You could pay her to do it for 40 hours, maybe days.

Full adaptation of the Akira manga, not even a weeb. None of that 3d shit either, everything looks just like the books.

>Sup Forums - Television & Film

Id make a fast zombie action movie with a white female lead who meets a strong black man in a sporting goods warehouse and they fall in love and find a cure to save the world at the end.

I've always wanted make a horror movie where people actually get hurt, where the blood and violence and fear is real. Not like Saw, but more like a monster movie, where the creature is chasing the actors around and actually fucking them up.
I'd hire a small crew of people, and pay them all an insane amount of money to let me break thier bones and amputate fingers, toes, arms. There will be an emergency team of doctors and surgeons on the set at all times, the best in the world that money can afford, so the fingers and limbs and wounds could be immediately stitched back up and reattached.
As soon as your scene was over, you'd be awarded an even larger sum than you were originally paid, and live in the lap of pampered luxury for the rest of your life.

How much could I pay you if I wanted to cut off your finger? Break your leg? Stab you?
Everyone has a price, and I think i'd have enough money to make it happen.

Make a Sid Meier's Civilization series, wouldn't go on for longer than 3 or 4 seasons.

In the future the government uses new time technology to transport history's greatest leaders all together to use their greatness to turn Earth into the star planet in their new network of planets, a la The Federation, but instead of giving rise to Earth entering into a golden age and out shining the other alien races, some of the leaders secretly band together in an attempt to conquer the planet, which in turns cuts Earth off from the other races, and forces the remaining world leaders to put aside their differences and attempt to work together to stop the others from their prize.

A mix of 3d and 2d can look good I think.

honestly i'd just approach some of my favorite directors and offer to fund their dream projects, no questions asked. maybe a boring answer, but it's the truth.

I really hope Ghandi is the main badguy

i would pay amy adams to let me rest my head on her chest and tell her about my lonely life. she would let me cry and let out all my sadness. she would run her fingers through my hair as i tell her about my failures. amy would rock me back and forth, caressing me and telling me everything is going to be ok. she kisses me on the forehead and holds me tight.
i kiss her goodnight as she leaves, thank her for her time and tell her how much it meant to me.
i go to my bed and cover the bed in the rest of the money. i light a cig and take a few puffs before i drop the match on the bed and slowly burn to death.

looks terribad. In motion the way his thumb doesn't have any lining is an eyesore. your eyes constantly see it and you can't just "turn off your brain and enjoy it bro"

you know that the age of consent isn't equal in every country, don't you?
she's legal in some countries

>not just paying the billion dollars to Amy directly so she can strangle you while whispering in your ear "Shhh, it's okay, you can sleep now, mommy loves you"

>X files meets twilight zone meets men in black meets the scp foundation
It's an episodic almost anthology type series about "the conspiracy" from multiple angles. The first episode would follow some fox mulder type digging into "the truth" only to find out its all true, especially the craziest tinfoil bullshit you can think of.
Each episode would kind of jump around to different people in different aspects and facets of the happenings. Have some x files type episodes, but from the side of the agents covering it up before anyone can find something out. Straight twilight zone episodes. Have that one agent that always seems to get assigned the really weird temporal and spatial anomaly cases and as the show progresses he just goes completely off his rocker but they can't get rid of him because he's the only one who ever seems to survive these things. By the end of the series he would be his own relative seven different ways thanks to paradoxes, evil doppelgangers, and time travel duplicates, alternative reality quantum douchebaggery, etc.

Just let the shit get really weird and go off the rails, do some really good and subtle world building and let the continuities build up from that.
Since reality warping, timeline fuckery, and parallel universes are an occupational hazard you've got a free hand to just tell your spooky/creepy/funny/weirdasfuck story.
You could rope in some decent established directors to do little one shots, and give newer directors a chance to be weird and get some exposure.
Maintain a semi regular rotating cast, but keep it flexible so you can put the FOTM guest star or cameo in there easily, or if you can land some prestige actor thats just interested in a chance to break type, or ham it up.
I figure you could maintain a formula of pleb bait episodes to reel the normies in, but use that to earn the right to get fucking weird and artsy fartsy to make the patriciabs and nerds happy.

I think it looks neat. I mean it's nowhere near as cool as say Redline or The Thief and the Cobbler, but if you want a smooth animation and high detail you need to compromise somehow unless you're made of money.

I pay Emma Roberts to beat me up. 50 million for every broken bone.

>Cadillacs & Dinosaurs films.
TAKE ALL OF MY FUCKING MONEY NOW YOU FUCKING FAGGOT!

I'm pretty sure she'd do it for free

Get acting lessons, and finance movies for me to start in and direct. But pay myself tens of millions more than normal, so that I can keep the money, and invest it in other stuff.

Also there will be LOTS of sex scenes in my movies. :^)

>In the future the government uses new time technology to transport history's greatest leaders all together to use their greatness to turn Earth into the star planet in their new network of planets, a la The Federation, but instead of giving rise to Earth entering into a golden age and out shining the other alien races, some of the leaders secretly band together in an attempt to conquer the planet, which in turns cuts Earth off from the other races, and forces the remaining world leaders to put aside their differences and attempt to work together to stop the others from their prize.
So literally bill & ted 3.

Tom Cruise as Inqisitor Eisenhorn

It's a crime against humanity that it hasn't happened already but I would rectify that personally.

>An arthouse movie like tree of life
kek

That actually looks much better than I expected. It being used for machines makes it slightly more passable. I'm an old fogey when it comes to anime and prefer everything hand drawn though, imperfections and all.

It does allow for some angles or shots that are nightmarish to do by hand I'll give you that. I could never imagine something like the short "kid's story" from the animatrix as cgi. The angles are hard to do and the sketchiness is a part of the charm of trying to do something so hard.

youtube.com/watch?v=39542MK-1gY

what?

A billion is a lot, so I'd fund
>A 20 film adaptation of ASoIaF.
The first books would be largely unchanged. Things after that would be totally different (I'd work in Martin's original 5 year gap between Storm and Feast). I'd also try to kill off fewer characters, and to move onto the second Dance of the Dragons quicker than the books have done. I'd also fund
>A huge series of live-action Evangelion films
which would basically follow the series (not the manga/rebuilds). Shinji and Asuka would be unchanged, though I'd basically bring in the Rei from the rebuilds (where she's a little more human) and I'd keep moving her character forward after the Ramiel battle (which the anime failed to do).

I would create a talk show and hire Jonah Hill as the host. Then I would spend the entire first season of the show inviting pretty young French girls on and having Jonah embarrass them on live television. The season finale would be Jonah inviting that girl that insulted him on, and finally delivering the one line zinger reply he's been coming up with this whole time. The audience explodes into laughter and the world declares Jonah the winner. :D

>Tom Cruise as Inqisitor Eisenhorn

nigga what.

Sean Bean or Sean Pertwee.

8 part live action adaptation of Evangelion
that'll really piss off the kids
