A dream I just had; haven't had one in a long time! A post-apocalyptic sci-fi western:

In the not-so-distant future, human society all over the planet has collapsed into a dystopian anarchy; the world economy has imploded, all the planet's fossil fuel resources are exhausted, and all the humans have escaped into the wilderness from the polluted, uninhabitable cities. Palmer considers himself the roughest, toughest frontiersman, believing he has what it takes to save mankind from extinction. He hears a rumor of a scientist hidden deep in the woods who has the solution for all mankind's problems and he wants to be involved. After fighting his way through countless obstacles and proving himself to the scientist's followers, he discovers the awful truth: the scientist is the leader of a cult, who's followers, including a close friend of Palmer's, volunteer for the scientist's genetic experiments. His goal is to turn the human race into trees that never depend on fossil fuels or emit carbon dioxide. Palmer argues there's a reason humans evolved as animals and trees evolved as plants; nature finds its own balance. But the mad scientist will have none of it. Now Palmer has to not only foil the mad scientist's plans, but escape with his life and humanity!

The Seven Year Itch

Did anyone see this iconic Marilyn Monroe film from 1955? Even though its very dated, the theme is timeless! Does anyone think its translatable? Mayb with Jason Bateman/Ed Helms/Steve Carrell and Megan Fox/Scarlett Johansson!

Neverending Story Remake

The Neverending Story, written by Michael Ende, is a German fantasy novel, made into a 1984 film, two sequels, a 1995 animated series, and a live-action miniseries. I have to say that as "successful" as this franchise has been, it has NOT done the book justice. I've read the book, and it is much richer and has much more potential than the films and TV shows suggest. With the success of franchises like Harry Potter, Narnia and Lord of the Rings, and advances in technology (CGI and performance capture used in such films as Beowulf and Avatar), I think now is the time to really breath some life into such a fantastic book. More importantly, stick to the book as much as possible, showcasing what made the book great. Naturally, it would have to be a two-part movie; just as the original films (but not so loose).

Big Thunder Mountain

I was just thinking that they haven't done anything with Frontierland in a long time. After the Pirates of the Caribbean phenomenon, why not a Big Thunder film? Something like City Slickers meets National Treasure meets the Goonies: A group of college students study a legend about a huge deposit of gold underneath a hoodoo called Big Thunder Mountain. The Apache call it Big Thunder because the hoodoo is so saturated with gold, it attracts lightning. A mining colony was built to excavate the site, but the town was lost, and so was the mountain. After one of the student finds a map marking the location, he convinces his friends to chase down the gold and make history, but they have some competition from some professional criminals. The backstory of Big Thunder involves greed, ghosts and an Apache curse.

Master

Another dream I had last night! Elaborate, and about vampires; go figure!:

     The kid can get anything he wanted and get anyone to do anything he wanted. Whether through manipulation, flattery or intimidation, he was always in control. One night, he convinced his girlfriend and a couple of his friends to explore a tomb that was supposedly haunted. Once inside, the torches seem to light and blaze on their own. The kid didn't admit he was somehow controlling the flames himself. Once they explored the deepest, darkest, dankest parts of the tomb, they find themselves in a very hospitable chamber. The only indication that this was not a live humans' residence was the coffins. Immediately, vampires rose to attack! The kid managed to slay most by himself, but one giant bat monster took more than a stake to the heart; as the kid pinned it down, his girlfriend sliced off its head. One remained, but-
     The kid is relishing his new afterlife as a vampire. He is the Master's new second-in-command, responsible for recruiting and training new vampires into the family. The weather is heavily over-cast, so they can still function in the daylight with heavy sunscreen and shades. The kid turns over 20 of his classmates, like the Triplets: three identical sisters that remind him of Dracula's brides; and even the scruffy weirdo with pretty eyes. He complains about his constant boner, and the kid grabs it saying, "We'll take care of that later." Like everybody else in his life, he's just using his girlfriend, and now as a vampire, he can do things he could never do before. He even made his own father into a bug-eating Renfield!
     He tests the vampires' weaknesses; he lines them up single file and forces them to pass along a crucifix. Most have burnt hands, like they held something red-hot, but a couple of them, including the kid himself, didn't burn. The scruffy weirdo makes a conspicuous kill, drawing the attention of vampire hunters! They ambush the tomb, undoing the Master's new work. The kid kills some, even surviving a stake in the heart, but the Master insists he escapes with the strongest. In the tomb, they face certain doom, even though they race to escape the first clear sunrise in weeks.
     As he, his girlfriend, and another strong one leap over buildings, trying to outrun the hunters and find a safe place to hide, he savagely wipes the blood from his face and slathers on the sunscreen at the same time. He flashes back to an intimate conversation he had with the Master once: "You think I am the only Master? True immortals are rare, and Masters are even more rare. Vampirism is not just a physical condition; it is not a spiritual damnation. It is a state of mind. Few have the will and the mind to defy superstition, to defy restrictions, to defy Destiny, to defy Death itself. To be a true immortal..." As the unfiltered sun dawns, they incinerate in its rays... except the kid. He withstands the harsh light of day.
     The kid sits in a quiet diner wearing shades; the sun beaming through the windows. If we didn't know better, he looks hungover. The waitress approaches, "One of those nights, huh?" The kid looks at her. "So, can I interest you in something to drink?" The kid removes his shades, revealing his vampire eyes. "As a matter of fact, you can..." The waitress's friendly smile disappears.

Mold

I watched a nature show, where an ant had a fungal infection: it's body and mind were deteriorating. Another ant carried it as far away from the colony as possible to die. When it did, it started sprouting mushrooms. Wouldn't that be a disturbing zombie film?! A airborne fungus that affected the human race, causing live bodies to decompose from the inside out and their minds turning into something worse than Alzheimer's/dementia. And once they finally dropped dead and cracked open from decomposition, the spores would go flying into the atmosphere. What kind of post-apocalyptic world would that be?

Slot Machine

Based on a dream I had, I imagine an action thriller:

In Las Vegas, there is a machine; made up of countless rooms in a seemingly infinite maze. It's a death trap; with an entire casino theme, each room can either kill you violently or let you escape. It's up to the victim to play the odds. Owned by the mob, the Slot Machine is an entertaining way to deal with gamblers who can't pay their debts, and only the biggest whales get to bet on how long the players stay alive. A retired military man is talked into going to Las Vegas for his bachelor party by his gambling addict buddies, only for them all to end up in the Slot Machine. Only with his skills and training can he keep himself and his friends alive! But for how long? Nobody escapes the Slot Machine...
