I've decided that somehow, some way, I am going to become a movie director so I can make an epic, big budget, big-screen adaptation of Jeff Smith's Bone, which, if you haven't read it, is one of the most remarkable graphic novels ever. Given the scope of the narrative, the movie would have to be at least a trilogy.
I also think Chris Hastings's The Adventures of Dr. McNinja would make a pretty Goddamn amazing primetime or late-night animated television show. Whenever I'm reading it, I imagine all of his father's lines being read by either Charles Napier or Sam Elliott, and it feels right.
-
Scary Go Round would make a perfect TV series. Imagine each chapter of the story as an episode. If I need to explain the awesome, you are dead to me!
-
Well, in addition to the obvious (TV and movies), and the existing (videogames and cardgames (Penny Arcade)), I'd like to see more media tie-ins.
Like, I'd play a PvP cardgame. Or I'd enjoy buying a Questionable Content compilation CD. I'm sure the Decemberists could be coerced into writing a song about Faye, and maybe Ladytron or Freezepop could write an ode to the AnthroPC.
-
I actually like freezepops song about phillipe from achewood.
It's genuinely cute.
-
Despite my dislike of the fan made movie, I've always felt that Something Positive could make a sweet movie and wanted it to be made into one (but y'know with an actual professional cast and a script that wasn't just a couple storylines cobbled together but actually for the most part completely original).
-
I would be very very happy to see a Y: The Last Man movie, though I suppose one could argue that Children of Men was too similar to Y: The Last Man for now to be a good time.
I have, however, heard rumors that a movie may be in the works.
-
I want to see Achewood expand into every facet of media conceivable, until Chris Onstad rules the world.
-
i'd like to see watchmen turned into a computer animated summer blockbuster where they change the plot and all the character's names and have my chemical romance and ashlee simpson on the soundtrack.
actually, i wish other media would just leave comics alone.
-
I remember there being this 1 video about VGcats... with voices and all... really shrt though
-
Jeff Smith's Bone
-
Schlock Mercenary, The Movie. Howard Tayler has Andy Sirkis pegged for the digital performance of Schlock. I'm not a huge Jim Carrey fan, but I can't stop imagining him as Tagon, with a plastic looking hairdo and orange jumpsuit. It's a comedy afterall...
-
Not watchmen, they keep trying to make a watchmen movie and failing. I think they should take the hint and leave it alone.

I got to the Hentai scene and couldn't stand it anymore, If the acting was better I could imagine that the opening mormon scene would have been very funny though.
I've always imagined Penny Arcade being made into an animated series on G4, I think it would fit in well there and be very funny.

I think they should respect Alan Moore's wishes, what really pisses me off is that the new project actually seems to be moving "seemlessly" along, and the guy doing plans on making a SINGLE two hour movie, WATCHMEN WON"T WORK IN ANYTHING LESS THAN A TRILOGY!!!!!! :x

I agree, there is no why you can fit in the pirate comic and all the back stories in 2-3 hours. If you rush you might be able to fit it in 2 movies. To do it justice and have it move at good pace and cover everything you need 3. Even then I doubt they would be able to do it justice.
-
I was gonna make some snarky-ass comment about Jerkcity expressed through interpretive dance, but I think that pretty much boils down to porn.
-
The Perry Bible Fellowship would work well as a television show in the manner of Robot Chicken.
-
I'm picturing an Opeth concept album all about White Ninja.
-
Dr. McNinja would make a pretty awesome animated cartoon, I agree.
Other than that, most the comics I read would be better as simply comics.
-
I think QC would make an excelent primetime TV show, so that there would be something great on television. Because now everything sucks.
-
Here's a web comic that already has been adapted to other media ,The Order of the Stick http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0001.html (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0001.html) has had a board game published based on it. http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/24157 (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/24157)
The game is fun and does a great job of capturing the spirit of the comic.
-
I want to see Grant Morrison's "The Filth" adapted to the screen. THAT would be one serious mindfuck of a movie.
-
I want to see QC as I feel is meant to be experianced: on ice.
-
I remember there being this 1 video about VGcats... with voices and all... really shrt though
Well they did a flash video for the 100th comic. It had the Cocoanuts song on it from Monty Python's Flying Circus.
This other webcomic i read called Cyanide & Happiness was translated into flash, and did the comic justice. Of course, it was done by the creators.

-

Yeah, and the guy portraying pintsize would wear am oversized foam rubber costume, with big plastic googly eyes
-
i think the only way you could have penny arcade translated to another medium is as a pay-per-view wrestling event with gabe fighting any comers and tycho as a color commentator getting more surly and drunk as people keep losing to gabe; culminating with tycho getting up in irritated annoyance, shooting gabe, then stealing his pac-man watch.

GENIUS! I'd pay to see that.
In order of probability, from greatest to least, I myself would like to see...
1) Rich Burlew's "Order of the Stick" as a series of flash animations - fully voiced and original scripts, not rehashes of the comic that's out there. Likely, if only because OotS is an embellished stick-figure comic created with Illustrator.
2) Questionable Content: The Radio Drama. We've got enough voice talents that we could actually do that one... hm. Has someone already tried this?
3) Joe England's "Zebra Girl" as an animated series. Most likely it'd be canceled after only two episodes, leaving you to buy the rest of the mostly-complete first season on DVD... but those two would still be utter genius. Mostly I just want to see those amazing ink drawings of his moving around.
4) Phil Foglio's "Girl Genius" as a trilogy of movies. Or quadrilogy. A series, however you want to put it, there's too much story to cram into one. The steampunk setting would be a special effects designer's dream come true (and nightmare at the same time, most likely), the costuming would be a shoo-in for an Oscar if they could get CLOSE to Phil's drawings, and... well... I'd just love to see Jagers on the screen... *sigh* Pipe dream.
5) Penny Arcade: The Musical. With special guest artists The Protomen, Peelander Z, and the Spoony Bards. `Nuff said!
-
Am I the only one who sees Dr. McNinja as an opera.
The lumberjack storyline alone would be worth the huge admission cost.
-
I would love for a Walking Dead Tv series, with a different set of characters, it would be great.
Or WE3 would work well as a movie
-

I have to disagree. A trilogy would just have to meander more than the comic does. I mean, the comic itself reads in less than three hours, translating it to actual film shouldn't take any longer. The entire pirate comic can be pretty much entirely removed without really hurting the plot at all (I honestly found said comic to be pointless and just removing one from the story). Not to mention the fact that if they even included it, they'd have to change it to a TV series or something (Can you imagine watching someone read a comic in a movie? A bit much), which would work purists into an epic fit. Watchmen's actually probably one of the easier comics to work into a movie. It's short, self contained and low on the major theatrics, saving on special effects (Hell, Dr. Midnight's the only one with any real powers).
-
I didn't see anything about Applegeeks when i re-read this. It would be totally awesome to see either a flash or a cartoon short series based on the Applegeeks comics.
-
QC as an animated series, a la Mission Hill or Undergrads.
Blankets as a full-length film.
-
on G4, I think it would fit in well there and be very funny.
Biggest contradiction ever. Quality programming does not fit in with the garbage on G4.
-
Hands down, I think either DMZ or Supermarket would make great film adaptations. (Can anyone tell I'm a big fan of Brian Wood? Hehe). In a related note, I really hope his latest blog post is of sarcasm D: (http://brianwood.com/blog/2007/07/25/were-it-up-to-me/). I'd repeatedly stab myself if Lohan were cast as Pella, one of my favorite comic heroines in one of my favorite comic books. I've even considered cosplaying her at one point (pffft).
And especially DMZ, due to the nature of the book's political criticisms and how they relate to present day happenings. I think that series (as well as "The Pride of Baghdad") should be on everybody's lists.
UGGGH, I'm dying to see Fables live action, as well. Though to keep more faithful to the comic, it'd probably have to be a TV serial.
-
For the past seven years (YIKES! I've only just counted...) I've always wanted to see Penny-Arcade have their own short animated cartoon. I was pretty pleased when I saw some animated footage on the advert for the video game :laugh: *squees*
-
I would love to see someone try to summarize the continuity of Superman in a haiku. Or Shakespearean sonnet
-
I'd like to see an indie movie directed by Zach Braff (directed Garden State) about QC... probably something a bit more serious like Faye getting over her father's death and Marten getting together with Dora....
-

I never really liked Zach Braff back in the day. I thought he was a little too silly, till I saw Garden State...then it was like, ZOMFG, you're brilliant! Why didn't you TELL us you were brilliant???
-
I think Something Positive would work very well as animation... hell, if Randy Millholland was in Japan, it may have already happened, at least as a short OAV series.
Not sure about a TV adaptation, although the amateur Something Positive movie wasn't half bad. In fact it captured the strip very well...
-
Johnny The Homicidal Maniac as either a movie or a TV show.
-
I think Human Target would do very well with Christopher Nolan calling the shots. Specifically the issue titled "Final Cut."
Basically about a man who is hired to pose as the target of potential assassinations. Sometimes he becomes so involved with another identity that he loses focus on who he really is, which is why he is so good. With good of use of multiple first-person narratives the audience could be deceived more than once.
-
Johnny The Homicidal Maniac as either a movie or a TV show.
Hells yes.
Actually, have you ever heard of the movie Buddy Boy? It's a weird film, not something I would ever watch more than twice in a lifetime, but the main actor Aiden Gillen really reminded me of Nny for some reason.
-
I would like to see an Invincible movie, though I am hesitant about it, or at the very least an animated series
-
Achewood as the new ceiling for the Sistine Chapel.
-
I support Johnny C's plan.
-
Agree with Blue Kitty on the Invincible thing, I've only read the first few story arcs, but they were pretty quality and would translate well to a tv show I would think. Maybe a bit too smallville though... I dunno.
And something I've been wondering about your avatar, is it taken from Deadpool? I know I've seen mini-xmen somewhere, but I'm not entirely sure. While we're at it, Deadpool needs to be adapted to everything. TV show, movie, lunchboxes and temporary tatoos. Widdle Wade could be the star of his own family sitcom. Or I would just be satisfied with him getting away from that stupid Cable guy.
-
BLANKETS. In any other media, you could not go wrong.
-
how about the Bible... AS a comic?
frame by frame as Jesus changes water into wine!
POOOF!!
Meanwhile...
"Mary! Hey, it's me! How's shit goin? I haven't talked to you for a while. You look great!" - God
I'd read it.
-
I second Bone. It would need to be done by someone not Disney though.
The Sandman might be pretty awesome as well, but about Books Of Magic?
-
i still have to see a good movie of a comic i have read...so i would advise anyone not to do that anymore...
please...
-
I would like to The Invisbles into a miniseries, as I said as a miniserie not a movie, because it would not work as a movie.
-
Scud The Disposable Assassin. How about a QC Animated Series? The only taker would be G4...
-
Indietits would be the best variant of Monopoly ever.
-
Questionable Content as a strange, Japanese dating sim(The longest dating sim ever; you hit on a girl for years, then bang some other chick).
Questionable Content as a mod for The Sims 2.
Questionable Content as a fighting game (Faye Sonic Hip Attack, awesome!).
Questionable Content as a Strategy Wargame.
Questionable Content as a Guitar Sim.
Questionable Content as a First Person Shooter.
Enjoy the weird thoughts these ideas generate until your head asplodes!

That would be the biggest letdown of a Dating Sim. Ever. I could digg it for a Fighting game though. Amir would be OP though. His bass guitar gives him too much reach.
-
QC and Piled Higher and Deeper as an animated series, a la Mission Hill or Undergrads.
Fix'd.

S'Already been said, but that statement offends me greatly, considering what actually IS on G4.

I literally just read all of this last night, and YES.
Jagermonsters fucking rule. VE HUNT!
-
I'd like to see a QC Animated Series. Something like what they did with Ctrl-alt-Del.
-
I dunno if anyone mentioned this but...
Coffee of Doom!!
Seriously, put some far-out director in there (Maybe David Lynch?) and it'll become a classic!
-

I apologize. Just sayin'. I hate G4. I love QC. Murphy's law states they're going to buy QC. And Kevin Perriera will play as Marten. And I will suicides.
-
the amory wars by claudio sanchez and co would make an awesome epic sci-fi film series but you know for sure they'd use coheed and cambria songs for the soundtrack and that would suck. not because i dont like coheed and cambria, but because i dont want to watch sci-fi films with their music in the background.
maybe they could do a musical!

I like Kevin Perriera.....I could see him being Steve, not Martin.
-
I think "Turn Signals on a Land Raider" would make a great wargame.
Wait a minute...
-
Gone with the Blastwave would make a hella awesome shooter.
-
An animated version of Jimmy Corrigan would be interesting, but perhaps some things should be left in their media. And even though i love "black hole" i don´t think it could work on the screen as perfect. It would be cool if Charles Burns made some kind of animated short though.
By the way...Daniel Clowes and Michael Gondry is working on a movie together, "Masters of space and time".
It could very well be awesome.

i think that the comic "Runaways" would make a great TV show.....(i mean if you like teen drama)
-
I really can't imagine QC as anything other than a comic- though perhaps some of the longer story arcs could be one-off flash animations.
As for supporting others' suggestions- I LOVE the Idea of a Girl Genius live-action movie- Wow... just thinking about it brings a silly grin to my face.
I like the idea of a penny arcade Flash cartoon, but I think I'd like to see Hero By Night or Least I Could Do in production, first.
What I'd really like to see animated is Platinum Grit or Wapsi Square.
As for episodic weekly cartoon, I second Something*Positive, and would like to add ShortPacked! (and maybe the Walky saga, too).
There are two more comics I check regularly that I feel COULD have another incarnation, but cannot imagine them in any other format clearly enough: the great Scary-go-Round and the quirky Gunnerkrigg Court. Suggestions?
A weekly series of live-action Dr. McNinja would kick so much ass...
-
As I've said, I think Scary Go round would work well as a live action TV series, the kind of thing that would debut on BBC 3. See The Mighty Boosh, The IT Crowd, Darkplace...
-
personally, I reckon Transmetropolitan would totally work as a movie or live action TV series, but i would love to buy a QC fighting game. Marten would be so skinny, others would be unable to hit him!
-

Andrew Lloyd Webber.
-
8-bit theater as some crazy stop-motion animation thing. Think Ray Harryhausen.
-
I also think Chris Hastings's The Adventures of Dr. McNinja would make a pretty Goddamn amazing primetime or late-night animated television show. Whenever I'm reading it, I imagine all of his father's lines being read by either Charles Napier or Sam Elliott, and it feels right.
Dr. McNinja would make a great ANYTHING. One of my bands already demoed the theme tune for it. We asked him if he wanted to hear it, he said yes, I sent it to him - and he never replied. *strokes chin*
-
I want to see Grant Morrison's "The Filth" adapted to the screen. THAT would be one serious mindfuck of a movie.
Seconded. Darren Aronofsky directing.
Also: various 100 Bullets plotlines developed into a series of vignettes/short films with Quentin Tarantino somehow involved.
-
Call me a nerd if you will, but I want Nick Fury to have a movie. The only man I could see playing Nick Fury would be...either Michael Madsen or Daniel Craig. It would add a spin of realism to tactical super-heroism. If you know who he is, bonus. If not, wow I'm sad.

well, ultimates nick fury is in Iron Man played by Sam Jackson. Not that that's any consolation. A Nick Fury movie would be pretty awesome, and considering Luke Cage is getting his own movie it wouldn't be that hard to spin, lesser known comic characters (in the mainstream) usually have some great content to work with.
-
don't get me wrong i love nick but he's got a movie. ( David Hasselhoff as Nick Fury people in the father land are still crying with joy)
-
Snake Plissken looks basically like Nick Fury.
-

David Hasslehoff? I'm going to puke.

Apparently the Doom Patrol is getting a movie? I'm hoping for that to be good.
-
Dr. McNinja would make a great ANYTHING.
What about Dr. McNinja on Ice? Hm? HMMM?
-
Dr. McNinja with razors on his feet fighting prancing ballerinas and shit?
Yeah.
Win.
Try again.
:-D - Dr. McNinja movie? Dr. McNinja play? Dr. McNinja interpretive dance?
-
Dr. McNinja porn would just be WEIRD though.
-
Anyone else think Sam and Fuzzy would make a kick ass sitcom? Just imagine fuzzy being a crazy and rude version of ALF
-
but it would be stuff like out of volume 0 rather than any of the storyline.
scratch that, it would be pure awesome sauce.
-
and on a semi-related note, i really hope the HBO Preacher show comes into fruition because that in itself is probably the best thing in the world to happen, the sandman movie i am already becoming skeptical of, for obvious reasons.
-
Dr. McNinja porn would just be WEIRD though.
Gordito already has the moustache for it. Also, I'm sure someone's already ran that particular Rule 34.
You look; I'm not searching. I might find it.
-
100 Bullets would make a cool movie. The game was canceled. My spirit shattered.

RICEBOY!

am i the only guy here that reads megatokyo? like seriously, ITS PERFECT! (qc is given for a movie, but who would you put as the characters?)
