Answer 2

Sure. Although now it's over 600 million dollars. If a squirrel is willing to lay down some cash for some tickets, then the squirrel should have an equal shot at the jackpot. Fair is fair.

Answer 3

I would make a movie based on "Magic the gathering" a card game from wizards. It would more than likely be based on the Ravnica city of guilds block that incorporates old fantasy with science fiction to create a world of wizards and robots so to speak. I would focus on the Guildmages as central characters battling for power in the city of Ravnica. I would like to only produce it though and have Peter Jackson direct. If not MTG, then perhaps The Legend of Zelda movie would be my next choice.

Answer 4

I guess I'd turn one of the novels I've written into a movie. In it, I am now a PI in San Francisco's Chinatown. One of my lovers who works at a nightclub is given a 1933 Deusenberg "SJ Speedster" by a drunken customer who is wealthy, for such a car is worth five million or so. She has problems with the car, so I take it for a test drive. I find myself in 1933 when the car was new. Construction of the golden Gate Bridge had just begun. Prohibition was ending. Japan was menacing China, and that had repercussions in Chinatown. I could fill the streets with 1933 cars and dress the stars in 1933 clothing I designed. I wrote an illustrated history of clothing.

Answer 6

For me, something fantasy or sci-fi with plenty of action. Based on a story I am writing now.

You have a good concept, just try to make the ending worth sticking around to see. If the story is too predictable in the fact that 'he's never gonna make it' it may not do as well. My advice. Take it or leave it.

Answer 7

A political thriller pitting the minds of a "Terrorist" leader against a freshly recruited CIA analyst. The movie reflects both points of view, and how actions can be deemed heroic or hostile, depending on the POV and culture, and how if one is understanding and openminded, then they can have more of an influence on another.

Answer 8

I like your story a lot, go ahead & write the book. I am a voratious
reader and it sounds like a winner to me.
I would make a really good movie about time travel. Not like
Back to the future, but a real more home life with all the twist &
turns.
