Makes and remakes, but What, Who and How?

[The Beaver King]

Obviously there have been a number of threads on films that should or should not be made or remade, but I was think of something a little more indepth.

Given the chance to have full control over a film, what film would you choose, who would direct and star and how would it be filmed, style etc?

My first choice would be A Clockwork Orange. The original is quite a piece of work, but a remake could be immense.

I think David Fincher would be an excellent director given his work on Fight Club and Se7en. Alex is a difficult role to cast, but maybe Bradley Cooper? He seem's clean cut enough, but could possibly pull off that slightly insane state of mind? Or maybe Elijah Wood?

I'd also like to see a version of The Forever War. Plenty to get your teeth into, lots of boom explore war and plenty of social commentary possible.

I would love to see that also. IMDb shows it in development, but that doesn't mean we will ever see a film.

I think the sci-fi book I would most like to see turned into a film is Ender's Game.

Good shout.

An excellent book and plenty of potential. Maybe Christopher Nolan to direct though, it's seems like his style to do a weirdy action type of film.
