If YOU Could Make A Movie...

[DevilMan]

Okay, a big question, if YOU could make a movie, what would it be? Assuming that it's a horror movie, that is.

Me, if only I had the cash to make the movie... I'd buy the rights from creator GO NAGAI to make a "live-action" CGI enhanced (ala LORD OF THE RINGS) epic retelling of the Japanese anti-hero DEVILMAN. It would certainly break every taboo, offend every viewer, and stimulate all the right glands throughout the human body. It would grab you, slap you across the face, and make you remember it forever. And boy-o-boy, I've seen enough "soul shocking" in the Asian Cinema that I could come up with some great stuff, believe you me.

I've even got the cast all picked out for it too. So don't laugh too much. I have a vision for these people and given the right script and direction, they would excel as these characters. But for what it's worth, this cast listing doesn't necessarily represent my particular favorite actors.

AKIRA FUDO (DEVILMAN): played by DAVID BOREANAZ (Yup, the same fella from the BUFFY spin-off series ANGEL). A perfect choice as the reluctant "hero" human possessed by a Demon bent on destruction. I'd definitely need the serious brooding ANGEL-type character that he's done before in the early seasons and NOT that silly, jokester ANGEL that popped up in some of the later seasons of the show. I just don't know if he'd be willing to do some of the things that I'd need him to do in my movie, ya know. Of course, as DEVILMAN, he'd be in heavy costume and make-up with CGI bat wings and a pointed tail.

RYO ASUKA (SATAN): played by LEONARDO DICAPRIO (I know, I know), maybe not the TITANIC "Love Me" LEO, but check out his new look in GANGS OF NEW YORK. And I thought he did a good job as a bad guy in THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK movie. He can still stay "Pretty" but with alittle size to him, I think he'd work great as the human possessed by SATAN but again, would he be willing to do the insanely preverse things that I'd require him to do as the character of the ultimate bad guy? Not to mention, the heavy make-up that would be needed as he's a fallen angel and angels have both sexes.

MIKI MAKAMURA (Akira's would-be human girlfriend): played by the drop dead gorgeous elf-like Japanese porn actress AIKA MIURA (a personal pick myself because nudity is a must and since she's not afraid to snatch off her clothes and get down and dirty, she'd have NO problems with what I needed to have happen to her. And you can only guess what kinds of things those might be.

SILENE (aka THE DEATH BIRD, Hell's assassin and DEVILMAN's former lover): this one is hard to cast since she would have to be nude during her entire screen time. Sporting white hair (in both places I might add) and with feathery CGI wings and talon clawed hands and feet, I guess I'd pick WWE DIVA actress VICTORIA (sorry, I don't know her "real" name). She's got the looks and the body for it, no doubt. But if it didn't work out with the nudity issue, I'd pick actress NATASHA HENSTRIDGE (she shed her clothes in SPECIES quite often so it shouldn't come as a shock for her but she'd need to work out some because she'd be required to go toe-to-toe with DEVILMAN in hand-to-hand combat. Another pick might be KARI WUHRER from SLIDERS and ANACONDA. Again, she'd need to work out too and she's been known to run in the buff on screen as well.

XENON (SATAN's right hand man): played by the thug-like RON PEARLMAN (he's really getting some spotlight as an actor for BLADE 2, STAR TREK NEMESIS and the upcoming HELLBOY so being a demonic thug shouldn't be hard for him to pull off. He's gotta be big, bad, mean, and ready to take orders from none other than SATAN himself. He too would be covered in heavy costume and make-up similar to DARKNESS from the movie LEGEND.

So, for a basic start, that would be my cast of major characters. There's others but they come and go and their appearances wouldn't be long at all. A few extra Demons and a couple of other humans are all that's left really. But the big thing, would these people play these kinds of roles in this kind of movie? It would have to be rated "X" for violence and explicit sexual scenes but not to the point of porn-style sex. You know, the ratings older horror films like ZOMBIE and DAWN OF THE DEAD used to get.

Of course, if they didn't want to do it, I'd go with a straight Asian cast made up of Japanese and Chinese actors which I'll list at a later time.

Anyway, that's MY movie. What would YOU do?

Oh, almost forgot, another movie concept I'd LOVE to do would be BATTLE ROYALE ZERO which would take place two or three "GAMES" before the first movie ever happened. I'll give up the details later.

I would pay to see your "DEVILMAN" movie. I've got the re-release of the first 2 animes ( are there anymore? ) on order right now.

There's a lot of movies I'd like to make , I have a few screenplays I've sketched out but if I was to adapt a property it would be K.W. Jeter's DR. ADDER. Second choice would be William Gibson's NEUROMANCER.

Here's a brief piece on DR. ADDER of you're not familer with it:

L.A.
The Unholy Trinity of modern science fiction was the SoCal college chumfest of Tim Powers, James Blaylock, and K.W. Jeter. Sitting around in a bar when they should have been hitting the books, they bounced story ideas off each other that included what would become the core of the steampunk movement, Powers' The Anubis Gates and Blaylock's Homunculus, and a peculiar and violent opus by Jeter called Dr. Adder. This book languished in manuscript for seven years, considered to be unpublishable even in France where, as Phil Dick points out, you can pretty much publish anything. Dick read Dr. Adder in 1972 and it blew his head off. He sought out Jeter and befriended him, championing the book as best he could. Even so, it would not see print until 1984, when even the goons in the Baloney Factory of the sci fi publishing industry could smell a change in the wind.
Dr. Adder is a psychosexual nightmare in a ruined future Los Angeles, taking place in the thin Interface between the destroyed Rattown of downtown and the sinister power yuppies of Orange County. The action is the delivery of a mysterious Object by a Traveler who previously worked in a Phoenix mutant giant chicken factory. The recipient is one Dr. Adder, pervert surgeon to the lowlife underclass of the Interface, a free-fire, free sex zone where the schizo sides of this Brave New society meet. The Object is a Flash Glove, a mythic CIA execution weapon used to terrorize the rebels in a Midwest guerrilla war, a psychically powered robotic/AI karate prosthetic.
A game is afoot, as the Glove is part of a setup to do in Dr. Adder and wipe out the perversion of the Interface. What the righteous plotters fail to see is that the Interface, though odious, is the safety valve that keeps the lid on the Rats of Rattown and the zombies of Orange County. The fight for the Interface will be war, a drugged, apocalyptic war for what passes for freedom in a world twisted into the horror it has become.
A fascinating afterword by Dick puts this amazing book into perspective. He points out that this is the next logical step from Ellison's Dangerous Visions stories in the genesis of the modern science fiction tale, a story too dangerous for Harlan that is a bridge to the Sterling/Gibson axis of the mid-1980's. Dick sees the touchstone of this book (and, by extension, the cyberpunk books that followed it) is not really science fiction in the traditional sense. It is rather social criticism of contemporary society using sci fi conventions, and, as such, is truly dangerous and over-the-top stuff. Jeter tears the veil off of the sexual hypocrisy of the good ol' American Way, a savaging that contributed to Dr. Adder's longtime unpublishability as much as the near-pornographic material which fills its pages.
Dr. Adder is a tough and totally uncompromising dissection of the mores of our world, masquerading as future history. And it is an interesting benchmark of how difficult it can be to publish such scary speculation, even as late as the 1980's. Dr. Adder still mangages to shock, even as it informs.

Well, I can definitely say that you've both peaked my interest. I'm not a huge fan of anime (Am I the only one who didn't get the big deal about SPIRITED AWAY?). I often find many of them repetitive or too reliant on a broad humor I just don't get. But DEVILMAN sounds fantastic. I understand it has a long history - and hey, nudity is always welcome! :woot: It sounds like this is one of those anime titles I will have to investigate. And I would pay good money for the live-action film.

Likewise, DR.ADDER sounds like a book I should seek out immediately. Most sci-fi I have read sounds better in premise than execution. There are exceptions of course, among them the works of Heinlein, Gibson and Frank Herbert's DUNE series. But for the most part, they sound fascinating on the back book jacket and not so much when you crack it open. I will still seek this out as it sounds very interesting.

For me, I have a stack of films about yay high. One I kept tinkering with was a dark sci-fi epic called FALLEN ANGELS but I haven't touched it in years as I realized it was getting more derivative. Now, I have my eye on a big horror epic - one that will redefine many of the boundaries within the genre and various sub-genres. Don't want to say too much as that has caused me to abandon dozens of projects halfway through. Hopefully, I will do a little more tinkering with it - who knows?

Oh, and adaptations? Well, I did write one for the novel SLEEPEASY.

I've got the re-release of the first 2 animes ( are there anymore? ) on order right now.
I've got the following in my DVD collection:

1. DEVILMAN The Complete 1970's Television Series: It comes in a 4-disc boxset. It's a Chinese import release and the English subs are sometimes in that horrible "broken English" style. But it is the ONLY way to get the original classic series with English subs anywhere.

2. DEVILMAN the OVA Collection: This is probably what you were talking about. The first OVA (Original Video Animation meaning "straight to video") is titled GENESIS and the second is titled SILENE THE DEMON BIRD. Up until the AMON movie, these were my favorite DEVILMAN anime.

3. AMON THE DARKER SIDE OF DEVILMAN the motion picture: Quite simply the greatest DEVILMAN anime ever created. I can't do it justice with a few words here so I'll get a review together for you to read. It's just awesome!

4. DEVILMAN LADY (aka DEVIL LADY) the Complete Television Series: It's a sort of spinoff series featuring a chick in the role of DEVILMAN. She heads up an origanization that hunts and kills demons. DEVILMAN doesn't show up in the anime but he's present in the original Japanese manga.

5. MAO DANTE (aka KING OF DEVIL DANTE) the OVA series: This ISN'T DEVILMAN but it's the original concept behind the character (which predates DEVILMAN) where a human merges with a demon spirit to fight off other fiends bent on destroying mankind. It's 13 episodes on 3-discs but it's only available as a Chinese import with those bad subs again.

The only other thing I know of in DEVILMAN anime is a short comedy featuring DEVILMAN as a SD ("Super Deformed", the big head little body style) character fighting another GO NAGAI creation, MAZINGER, one the 70's SHOGUN WARRIOR robots.

-Steve

[DevilMan]

Okay, after some thought, here's the Asian cast for my live action DEVILMAN movie:

1. ANDO MASANOBU (from BATTLE ROYALE and RED SHADOW) as the lead role of DEVILMAN.

2. ANDY LAU (from FULLTIME KILLER, THE DUEL, and RUNNING OUT OF TIME) would be pretty good as SATAN.

3. AIKA MIURA would most certainly reprise her spot as DEVILMAN's doomed girlfriend MIKI again.

4. The role of SATAN's number one henchman XENON would go to either RIKI TAKEUCHI (from many TAKASHI MIIKE flicks like FUDOH and the DEAD OR ALIVE series) or SIMON YAM (from DR. LAMB and FULL CONTACT) or even ANTHONY WONG (from EBOLA SYNDROME, TWINS EFFECT, and THE UNTOLD STORY).

5. Again, a tough choice but either ELLEN CHAN (from ETERNAL EVIL OF ASIA) or MICHELLE REIS (from EVERY DOG HAS HIS DATE, WICKED CITY, and CITY OF LOST SOULS) would play the role of DEVILMAN's toughest foe and former lover, SILENE, the Devil Bird.

[DevilMan]

Okay, for my BATTLE ROYALE ZERO film, as I said, it would take place several games before the first movie we've already seen. It would start on a Saturday morning when the class selected meets at the school auditorium for their graduation ceremony preparations that would normally take place later that week. As they would enter, they notice that they were the ONLY class there in attendance, and not with the 5 or 6 classes that were scheduled to also attend. They know something's wrong now. A single person would be standing at the far end of the building on the speaking platform. He would announce himself and tell them to sit down. Suddenly government soldiers would pour in the side doors surrounding the class and force the students to take their seats by class number and put on the collars that are already in their chairs. He would then start to explain that they were the lucky class selected for that year's BATTLE ROYALE. As expected, a little chaos ensues with a student or two dying before they're finally loaded aboard an army bus and driven to a park.

I'd like to put this BR game in a large fenced in or walled up "park" type of place instead of an island, kinda like Central Park in New York. I'd like to have regular 40-something students and it would be thoroughly enjoyable to come up with niffty ways for them to kill each other off. I want to throw in a few class surprises like a pair of American "foreign exchange" students, a handicapped girl, and two sisters or brothers who will eventually turn on each other. There will also be two students who dropped out of school early because they had a "bad" feeling that their class might get selected that year. Of course, the government would round them up and they would be brought into the auditorium against their will to play the "game". Well, one would be brought in, all beat up and bloody, and the other would come wheeled in, dead inside a body bag for everyone to see. Of course, the teacher would have something snappy to say to the class like "Ah, and I bet you all thought that you'd never see your former classmates, the dropouts again. Skipping class is no excuse. Education is a priviledge, you rascals you, and it's a gift I most enjoy giving to the younger generation. Now take your seat, young man and we'll get back to today's important lesson. Remember, teacher always knows best."

A neat idea would be that the students could make their way to the edge of the park which would be fenced in or something. Of course, if they tried to cut their way outta the fence or something similar, they would find out that anything outside of the park boundary is a "danger zone" and their collar would explode. Also, they could, in theory, fire a weapon to the outside of the fence and hit innocent people who might be too close for their own good. It's just something to give it a different twist, ya know.

As for the actors I'd pick for the main characters, I have no idea. I do know I'd like to get some of the cast from the Japanese action / horror movie, ANOTHER HEAVEN. Their names are YUKIKO OKAMOTO (she'd play the evil chick of my film), TAKASHI KASHIWABARA (as possibly the main star), and MIWAKO ICHIKAWA (a sweet girl that dies most horribly).

So, what do ya think?

I am into horror movie and I've seen over 100, but if I had to make one, it owuld go a little something like this...

In the forests of New England, an isolated farm yard is being covered in snow. A drunken single mother rages into the house where her two children, Andy, and Marilyn are sleeping in bed. Not being able to take the stress, she grabs a thick, ice cold chain, and wraps it around Andy's neck. He wakes up for a second, but is already dead.
After telling the police that he died in his sleep, the mother stands, nine years later, above her sons grave in the forest across the road from the farm. Tears fill in her eyes, but not because of her loss of her son, but because the grave is empty. Andy has escaped and he is out to kill her for the sake of revenge...

Does that mean he dug his way out as an undead monster (or a zombie)? Or did he actually die before?

**Bumped Up For More Responses!**

[JohnShaft]

VERY interesting thread guys.

OK first of all the Anime.
I haven't watched any for a good few years. We used to have a weekly Anime slot on mainstream TV over here in the UK. I enjoyed the hell out of it then, and I'm sure I would now. I do like the genre, at times a lot.

I've seen DEVILMAN a couple of times and really enjoyed it. Steve, maybe you can help me out. Which one would I have seen amongst your list if it was the main DEVILMAN Anime Movie?

I can also recall a longish running series LEGEND OF THE FOUR KINGS. I really looked forward to watching that every week. I found that very imaginative, which is what I like best about good Anime.

I guess it's accurate to say that there's only certain *types* I like.
The super big eyes, crappy animation, and totally American voices really turns me off it in a big way. What do I like? Great animation, Japanese or at least non-standard American voice overs (who can genuinely voice act). I like darker Anime. The less it would seem to appeal to a kids Pokemon audience the better for me.

I've seen the usual 'big stuff', AKIRA, GHOST IN THE SHELL, etc.

Steve, as the Anime man, is there anything you could recommend to suit my tastes in the genre?

[MANGLER]

I'd do one on a psycho. Not a guy in a mask but just a guy who's really evil and keeps it a secret.

Kinda like Falling Down; a normal guy goes thru a lotta shit and ends up goin nuts. But nobody would know about it cuz he has a perfect image for himself. Maybe a businessman, or some other guy wit a family and a normal job.

not a full fledged slasher/gore piece, but a psychological horror movie. One that gets people thinkin about people who look perfectly normal and what they're really like behind closed doors.

[Splat]

If I was to do a movie I would make a slasher with full nudity, real sex scenes and make the kills as gory as possible. In the same quality as perhaps 'Gutterballs', but obviously not set in this scenerio.

[TheLurkingFear]

If I could make a movie, I would make a soft-core porno - Hey, no hang on a minute, that's what Ghostman would make.:teeth:

I'd make something like Let the Right One In, something with substance, striking and original, thought provoking and dark, scary and subtle...

I wish!:lol:

Something like the Evil Dead would be awesome, a film on shoe-string budget that still managed to raise it's demonic head above most other films of it's type in terms of originality and flair.....:)

[KennyThaKilla]

Softcore? I think you're miscalculating Ghostman's perviness there. :teeth:

[TheLurkingFear]

Haha, yeah, and I bet he'd be one of these maverick directors that if things weren't going to plan he would threaten the crew with a shotgun (although I think Ghostman had a veritable arsenal of weaponry judging by some of his posts) a la William Friedkin.:lol:

[Francesco Dellamorte]

As I doubt making my first horror movie I would have the kind of budget I would want to make the ultimate end of days zombie apocalypse epic, I would probably go for an intense pyschological horror, punctuated with bouts of extreme violence.
Due to budget constraints it would be one location, only 2 actors (the kidnapper & victim) & would explore the pyschological relationship between aggressor & victim, bringing in an element of Stockholm Syndrome.& Hybristophillia.

Well with those types of movies it is normally the bad guy & the innocent victim. I think it would be interesting if the victim was just as, if not more fucked up than the villian. The pyschological interplay between the two would then have a real edge.

I came across the word Hybristophillia in a book about serial murders, I had to look it up as well :) Interesting condition.

Haha, I genuinely had no idea what it meant. It would be a very Hitchcockian movie. Music?

[Francesco Dellamorte]

Haha, I genuinely had no idea what it meant. It would be a very Hitchcockian movie. Music?

The score for the movie wouldn't be music as such. More sparse, dissonant, jarring tones & heavy metallic sounding percussion, similar to what Goblin used for the track Witch from the Suspiria soundtrack. I would want to score to add a claustrophobic air of unease & dread to the images.

A lot of the Velvet Acid Christ I've been listening to incredibly cinematic. I always thought Dead Can Dance (specifically Within the Realm... album) would be perfect for a dark and moody occult movie. I even wrote part of a script and could just imagine where certain music would go!:lol:

Velvet Acid Christ's music is very cinematic. I don't really know Dead Can Dance well enough to comment. I think the soundtracks for occult movies are very generic these days, either a Tubilar Bells rip off or a brooding religious choir sound akin to The Omen theme. It would be nice to hear someting different.

True. To be honest, my script was pretty fucking generic, one of the reasons I abandoned it. :lol:That DCD album is just so haunting, very Howard Shore is parts, which is what makes me think movie when I listen.

I wouldn't dismiss your script as being generic, even some of the most original stories are in some respect a re-working of an older idea. Take Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club, brilliantly original novel, yet it is pretty much a re-working of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde. Why not rework it & see what happens?
I will look at getting that DCD album, sounds really good.

Yeah it was alright idea, echoes of a lot of other things in there, but what can you do. The real problem I had was plot, and I couldn't write decent dialogue if you put gun to my head. :lol:

Haha, yes indeed.

The Manhatten 13th is the only one that stands out in my memory, mainly because of the setting. In terms of those films, a real departure from the ho-hum camp Crystal bollocks.:teeth:
(Until Jason went into space, of course, but that's things just getting deperately silly).
Surely still one of the worst films committed to celluloid though.:blink:

lol oh well cruise ship it is then :teeth: but i think i will give that movie a watch lol

[aceofspades]

already have ;)

[3rdDoctor]

I'd use monsters not commonly seen in horror movies. Kappa (Japanese water goblin), basilisks, yara-ma-ya-ho (Australian tree dwelling monster), yeti (giant upright apes, brown in colour not white) but most of all dragons. They are the most ancient, powerful and widespred of monsters but seldom turn up in horror movies.
I'd set it in a rural area of the UK (going for a Whicker Man vibe) and it would be based around a dragon worship cult and an ancient dragon, a creature of god-like power, awakening from a thousand year hybernation cycle. Basicaly Whicker Man meets Q the Winged Serpent by way of Dr Who and Godzilla.

[Splat]

[thawker]

I have made a movie, just for a college class of course. It was a thriller type movie with some genuinely scary moments.

Horror movies would be so much fun to make. Something like Drag Me To Hell.
