harmony korine’s $120mil untitled 3-d project about the the inhabitants of an asylum on a different planet. the plot is: a group of humanoid creatures break out of an asylum and go on the road to do a show they had been practicing back in the asylum for many moons. james cameron has been assisting korine on this project on and off for 3 years. the non actors plucked off the streets of nashville work with the new technology in a way that couldn’t have been forseen.
Steven Spielberg directing a Jewish porno with Seth Rogen as the milkman and E.T as peeping tom getting a hard-on as he watches. Sarah Silverman plays the lead actress who after blowing Seth, discovers E.T through the door knob hole. She dismisses Seth for inefficacy, welcomes E.T in and rides him, with Spielberg shrieking “La Heim, La Heim!” all through the intergalactic debauch. Epic, no?
Werner Herzog’s Bad Lieutenant remake starring Nick Cage. It’s all in my head.

PARADISE LOST
(soon at your local theater)
Béla Tarr adapts Marcel Proust´s novel In Search of Lost Times as a 25-hours black and white film
A Tarkovsky adaptation of the Philip K. Dick novel Ubik.
“Béla Tarr adapts Marcel Proust´s novel In Search of Lost Times as a 25-hours black and white film”
make it 50 ;)
You´re right, he will need 5 hours just for the intro showing young Marcel lying in his bed, so 50 hours should be adequate.
HAHA @ bela tarr comments
All projects canceled of Antonioni.
“La Ciurma”, in Miami. Almost the entire movie in the middle of the ocean.
And this project in Russia, (well, Soviet Union in that time): a science fiction film.
Terrence Malicks – Captain America. Hey it could happen…
Hey, don’t belittle Malick.
William Gibson’s Neuromancer/Count Zero/Mona Lisa Overdrive form the basis of a trilogy by James Cameron.
Abel Ferrara- The life of Enrico Malatesta, Italian anarchist (1853-1932).
Steven Soderbergh’s swan song—Ocean’s 47 starring the Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Shia LaBeouf, and Megan Fox.
Wait, scratch that… This movie will actually be made.
I second KJ’s choice of Gibson’s Neuromancer
Bergmans ‘Animal House’ and Harold Ramis’ ‘Salo’.
Dante’s Inferno directed by Peter Greenaway.
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle directed by Wong Kar-wai.
Moby Dick directed by Orson Welles.
Pussy, King of the Pirates directed by Lars Von Trier.
Charles Stross Novel Accelerando by Terry Gilliam
Neuromancer by Chris Cunningham?
i second @deckard dante´s inferno
Wim Wender’s “The Sound & The Fury”
Greenaway worked on an Infero movie for television: A TV Dante.
*_Inferno_. Yes, it’s late.
hey Deckard,Greenaway and Akerman working on a Divine Comedy epic together!!!
wouldn’t that be awesome? :D
Hmm, a talking head version of Inferno (with the kind of experimentation of Pillow Book possibly?) … doesn’t sound promising, but I’ll see if I can find a copy somewhere. Who’s Tom Phillipps by the way? Perhaps I’m mistaken, I was envisioning the Greenaway of The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover/Drowning by Numbers/A Zed and Two Noughts …
Yes…… Greenaway!!!!! His Prospero’s Books is one of the best Shakespeare adaptations ever!
Oh yes, Dimitris, that would.
I liked Prospero’s Books as well. I’m not a huge fan of Shakespeare’s The Tempest (gasp!), but watching Greenaway’s adaptation (not only because I’m obviously a fan, but because he just somehow made it interesting to me) of it certainly elevated my opinion of the play and made me reconsider my evaluation of it.
