Top 8 Movies they should be making

8.  Spring Heeled Jack
Spring Heeled Jack would make the perfect horror movie. If you are unfamiliar with the character let me give you a brief description of the urban legend. Spring Heeled Jack is a creation of English folklore in the Victorian era he was noted for his startling jumps, which would make great jumpscares. Jack was described to have devilish features and look terrifying and frightful. He is also described to have large claws and fire ball like eyes. During his period of creation there were many books based on Jack and was very much in public interest. This may be reciprocated today if brought to the silver screen.




7. Metal Gear Solid
Metal Gear Solid is the highly popular and critically acclaimed stealth series from Hideo Kojima. I know that previous film videogame adaptations have not gone very well but that may be because gameplay is the main part of a videogame and this is not translated on to the silver screen. However with Metal Gear Solid the game is highly cinematic and has very long cutscenes and with the story being the main focus I believe this would do well on the big screen.

6. The Incredibles 2
Disney Pixars The Incredibles is one of the best movies made by the talented people at Pixar.  The film was funny, action packed and perfectly set up a sequel. It is also quite surprising that with Pixar insisting on doing a sequel to everyone of their films (Cars 2, Monsters University, Finding Dorey) they haven't made an Incredibles sequel. It would make big cash for Disney and may be as good if not better than the first one which would mean Pixar can get back on track after releases such as Brave and Cars 2.


5. Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs Crossover
You may not be aware that these two Quentin Tarantino directed classics are linked however there is one subtle link that could evolve into a full fledged film. You may have noticed that Mr Blonde played by Michael Madsen is called Vic Vega and John Travolta's character in Pulp Fiction is called Vincent Vega. Tarantino later confirmed that these two are in fact brothers. This is basically screaming for a film which would act as a prequel to these films exploring the adventures of these two brothers before they went there separate ways. However both the actors are too old now to make a believable prequel therefore some new actors must be found to play the roles, which may be problematic.

4. The Incredible Hulk standalone film
Some argue that in the recent Avengers film Mark Rufallo's Hulk was the best thing about it. Rufallo portrayed Hulk in a highly believable way adding subtle things like twitches that made the character seem alive. Although previous Hulk films have been underwhelming I believe that with the help of Rufallo I believe they can get it right this time. All you have to do is repeat scenes like this:




3. X-Men Origins: Deadpool

I'm not a fan of the X-Men films whatsoever and do not have that much of a knowledge of the comics either, however it there's anyone who deserves a movie in that universe it's this guy. I've been hearing countless reports on this film over the years and nothing has developed and I believe its time that they start making this film. With current public interest in the character at this moment in time I believe this is the perfect moment for the film to release. I think that the film should just erase the version seen in the underwhelming X-Men Origins: Wolverine and start afresh I'm sure people wouldn't mind.





2. Chronicles of Ancient Darkness
 Seeming it is the end of both the Twilight and Harry Potter film series Warner Bros. need another successful book series to make big bucks at the box office, just as the Hunger Games is doing. This I believe should be their next project. The Chronicles of Ancient Darkness is the highly popular book series by Michelle Paver. It tells the story of Torak a boy who can communicate with a wolf cub who has to stop the evil mages the Soul Eaters from destroying the whole of prehistoric Europe. This series has all the elements to make a box office hit.




1. Spider-Man/ X-Men/ Fantastic Four/ Avengers crossover
Despite The Avengers being a very good film you could not help but think how much better it would be with all the character of the Marvel universe such as the X-Men, The Fantastic Four and Spider-Man. With the guaranteed money flowing in for Disney due to the overwhelming success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Monsters University and Star Wars Episode 7 surely bringing lots of cash they could use some of the billions to buy back these characters.
