And give it time! I don't want a do-over of a failed movie just a couple years later. The Ghost in the Shell movie was a disappointment, but don't just keep plugging away at it until something works.

They did a sort of do-over for Suicide Squad relatively quickly and that was for the best.

Or roll with some story driven videogames. TONS of content compatible with the big screen, provided they put someone who actually knows the franchise in charge.

Mass Effect comes to mind.

Or a SW film focused on Revan or Kreia.

They already fucked up Halo with the TV series, but an unrelated movie could be good.

Half Life... jfc, Half Life 3 as a movie would be simultaneously such a slap in the dick and absolutely hilarious for not giving us a game. Definitely cinematic potential.

Elder Scrolls or Enderal.

Deus Ex.

Pooooossibly Legacy of Kain - admittedly hard to see them getting that one right as a movie, but it's a take on vampirism that I don't think anything comparable has made it onto the big screen. If it went well, it'd be a nice redemption after all the Twilight BS.

This has the potential to become a very long list, but that's the point: there is some KICK ASS content that the big screen hasn't ever touched, so rather than remaking old flops, bring on some adaptations!

Note: Without ruining the story in the process

A few months ago, I got the idea of looking for scripts of some movies I watched, liked the concept or some part of it, but disliked the overall execution, and doing a revamp of it. I have no idea of where to post my scripts, or if anyone would be interested in reading them, but your meme made me rethink and reconsider this idea. Thank you.
