  • The Bible as a Manga series by non-Christians or Christians with no need to soap it over. Raw and gritty in the way it was originally described. Old Testament level action stories.

    So people strangely know the entire Bible without a hint of religion being demanded. Post-theology, post-religion in a way that people might understand the idea of an egalitarian world coming out of an absolute quagmire.

  • It's about a family which is under a curse that makes them die young. But it turns out the curse is actually just the millionaire family patriarch stealing organs from his descendants so he can live longer. And it ends with him locking himself in a panic room because his children and grandchildren form a mob to kill him. But what he doesn't know is that his emergency supply of immunosuppressants has been removed, so he dies a painful death as his body rejects its foreign parts while they have him trapped.

    For legal purposes this is not based on the life of any actual living man with too much money who pumps out kids like it's his reason to live.

  • Nice try, Hollywood!

    • Well they have very clearly run out of ideas and the internet has very clearly made that obvious too so who better to ask right?

  • Based off of a short little story a friend of mine wrote for a story he was working on. He agrees it would be cool, if done correctly.

    The story first focuses on a bird spirit who lives in the mountains, early 1800s America, who gets shot in the beak with a bow and arrow by some Natives and ends up having to replace his beak with a wooden beak he makes on his own. He ends up messing up making the beak and it now only opens and closes when he takes a step, closing shut with a loud SNAP of the beak. This spirit, known under the regional name Wood Beak, used to let people know of its' presence by walking around a nearby town and people would only ever catch the silhouette of a human sized bird. Eventually people in the town start to go missing and they blame it on Wood Beak.

    This next part is original and not based off of my friends work.

    Fast-forward to modern day. The town has grown larger but is still a relatively small town. A couple of amateur online paranormal investigators come to the town in the middle of winter in order to film and document the Wood Beak disappearances. The majority of the town don't take the whole idea of Wood Beak being a paranormal being seriously and instead suggest it was just a serial killer playing a sick joke on the town. Eventually they meet a young adult Native who tells them that he wholeheartedly believes that Wood Beak was an angered spirit and that his ancestors never fully atoned for angering him. One night while up late in their hotel, the investigators hear what sounds like the sound of a wooden beak snapping shut. They run out to find the silhouette of Wood Beak. The next day, nobody believes them. This happens the next night as well and some other people who hear it blame the investigators, saying that they're just doing this so they can get views online. A few nights later and people start going missing again, like they did over 200 years ago. In the end it turns into a race against time to stop Wood Beak as the town slowly devolves into chaos.

  • BOOGIE DAYS. A BOOGIE NIGHTS prequel. Limited series. How did Jack get into the business? Where did he meet Maggie--and Little Bill? Eddie in middle school. Maurice's back story. Etc. One episode for each character?

    Give Paul ALL the money to write and direct.

    I'd watch the shit out of that show.

  • Buddy movie where instead of becoming furious with his wife for cheating on him, the husband just becomes good pals with his wife's boyfriend. Eventually the wife starts feeling left out as hijinks ensue. In a climactic scene, the boyfriend resists the wife's temptations in order to help with the new business he and the husband have started together, which leads to the two guys stopping a mass shooter. The two become heroes and best friends forever. It turns out that the would be mass shooter is an ex of the wife who didn't have a friend and just couldn't deal.

      • Not really going for a "woman, therefore bad" trope and I wouldn't let the producers take it that way, as per the premise of the question. If I'm employing a trope, it would be "buddy good, even if he's fucking your wife". It's a movie that puts friendship over toxic masculinity.
