If you had a billion dollars to spend at your discretion for a movie budget, what kind of movie would you make?

4/14/2011 8:07:39 AM

ib "epic porn"

4/14/2011 8:09:57 AM

i'd make a $1 movie and keep the rest for myself

4/14/2011 8:10:00 AM

a 3D movie

4/14/2011 8:10:04 AM

something to repair the image of Indiana Jones, starting of by showing that the last movie was a nightmare in Indiana's head

4/14/2011 8:12:49 AM

another blair witch sequel

All billion must be spent on the movie. You get to keep the profits though.

4/14/2011 8:25:31 AM

good chance you won't see any profit then

4/14/2011 8:32:47 AM

The Bible.

Not because I believe in that shit, but because a zillion people would watch it.

4/14/2011 8:42:48 AM

Just answer the question.


Like paying all a-list actors and actresses to do a hardcore porno. Like Britney Spears eating out Jennifer Aniston. Or Samuel L Jackson hatefucking Angelina Jolie and creampie-ing her asshole. Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt DPing Natalie Portman.


Or like getting Peter Jackson to do the Dark Tower series.

Or something.

4/14/2011 8:45:02 AM

first, i would pay off Nick Cage's IRS debt, that alone would make going to the movies a better thing.

Then I would make Ocean's 153, with every single big name actor except nick cage and samuel l jackson

in this movie, they would rob all the casinos in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, all the Indian Casinos, the riverboats, and The Star City Hotel and Casino in Sydney all in one night (which is kind of tricky, considering its not night at the same time in Sydney

and at some point in the movie, a phone booth comes out of the sky, Keanu Reeves comes out, says something funny, then leaves with his phone booth

Mel Gibson and Charlie Sheen team up and rage fight, destroying the Hard Rock Hotel chain

Justin Timberlake makes a cameo as the elevator operator at every elevator scene, no matter what city it is in

4/14/2011 8:45:48 AM

^^ Dark Tower idea es muy bueno.

4/14/2011 8:51:03 AM

The Qur'an

Not because I don't believe in that shit, but because a zillion people would watch it.

4/14/2011 8:52:43 AM

I'll tell you what I'd do man, two chicks at the same time, man.

4/14/2011 8:53:30 AM

I'd make Wipe Out the movie, starring Nicolas Cage

Wipe Out: Motivated

4/14/2011 8:53:33 AM

I would cast myself as the main character of a documentary about me living like a rockstar for a year. Whatever money isnt used fulfilling my fantasies can be used for marketing - and to pay me for my services

4/14/2011 8:58:01 AM

I'd make a low budget movie in a third world county, drag the filiming out over several years "use" the entire population as extras, and use as much of the $1billion to feed the locals, who are extras, and get clothing for them to serve as wardrobe for this awesome movie.

fuck hollywood would be the theme.

4/14/2011 9:38:10 AM

reality movie starring me spend that billion dollars!

4/14/2011 9:42:21 AM

I'd make a movie about a world where global warming has gone wild and melted the ice caps, thereby raising the sea level enough to cover all known land. I'd also throw a twist in it about people evolving gills and whatnot.

Why the hell hasn't someone made a movie that follows the bible yet?

that is definitely going to be a blockbuster, especially bc by it's nature it will be controversial

4/14/2011 10:03:58 AM

i'd make some bollywood shit, because literally billions of people would watch it.

4/14/2011 10:30:34 AM

There is a billion dollar movie coming out

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1855401/

4/14/2011 10:33:02 AM

hire michael bay to make a movie about the earth's population growing so large that it throws off the orbit of all the planets in our solar system and we all crash into the sun like GRAHHHHH BLAAAASSSSHHHHHHHHH KRRRSSSSSHH

4/14/2011 10:35:35 AM

I'd film a movie where we start jumping and then along with it go "ooooooooooooo" and get louder like "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH" and then switch to "PACK! PACK! PACK! PACK! OOOOOO PACK! PACK! PACK! PACK! OOOOOOOOOOOO! POWER PACK! POWER PACK! BACK THE PACK!" and then play a loud rockin rap song or somethin. i think it would get things crazy.

"eality movie starring me spend that billion dollars! "

I was thinking that or a documentary that cost me a bout 800,000,000 bucks in man hours, and the rest in marketing

4/14/2011 11:11:33 AM

hey marketting could be something i spend that money on

4/14/2011 11:14:09 AM

At first I was going to say that no matter what I'd hire James Cameron to direct. That's the only way I could even come close to seeing any profit.

But then I saw Traun's idea. Yep, that's what I'd do.

4/14/2011 11:18:06 AM

I can't decide:

1. Science up some way to gene-therapy the whole original cast of Star Wars back to their younger selves and make a film out of Heir to the Empire (to be followed by the rest of Timothy Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy).

2. Using same gene therapy, make a TNG/Star Trek (Abrams) crossover with both crews fighting The Borg for 3 hours.

3:

"Or like getting Peter Jackson to do the Dark Tower series"

This, but co-directed by Abrams and written by Richard Moore and David Lynch.

4/14/2011 11:22:06 AM

let Michael Bay blow up whatever he wants

4/14/2011 11:35:08 AM

Pron with the worlds largest orgy. You could hire a few million people with that kinda cash

4/14/2011 12:33:45 PM

If you tried hard enough, you could probably find a few million people that would do it for free.

4/14/2011 12:36:45 PM

That's a lot of money. Maybe a documentary where every copy ever created , including the master copies of the Star Wars prequels are tracked down and destroyed.

4/14/2011 12:43:48 PM

There are several options

• Batman vs. Superman


• The Wolf Web: Howlin' at the Moon


• A 3D live action remake of Fern Gully*


• I'd Buy Your Love 1,000 Times, starring the BareNaked Ladies


• Back to the Future, with actual time traveling


• The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: The Ultimate Movie, licensing alone would cost half your budget


• Backdoor Sluts 9

4/14/2011 12:46:48 PM

4/14/2011 1:22:16 PM

Citizen Kane 2: Back to Xanadu, starring 25-year-old Orson Welles and with a cameo by God.

[Edited on April 14, 2011 at 1:34 PM. Reason : .]

4/14/2011 1:33:30 PM

it would be about this guy who is living a normal life until one day he gets asked to take one of two pills. then when he takes the one pill he finds out that reality is a lot shittier than the life he has been living and now he can jump over alleys and stuff from really high up buildings.

it would be good i think

4/14/2011 1:41:30 PM

You should get Will Smith as the lead.

4/14/2011 1:42:41 PM

An adaptation of "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz"

4/14/2011 1:51:55 PM

I'd make a visual autobiography about my life, beginning now and ending when I die. The premise is how someone could spend $1,000,000,000 over a lifetime, the interesting things they see, the power they get from money, the privileges, and pussy.

4/14/2011 1:52:03 PM

I would have Michael Bay direct a remake of The Room still starring tommy wiseau

I'm listening...

4/14/2011 1:56:43 PM

Remake all 3 star wars prequels and make them right.


Try to burn all george lucas' prequels and erase them from existence.

4/14/2011 1:57:18 PM

I would buy a boy scout troop, have them stranded on an island, and then let the situation turn into a real life Lord of the Flies.

My first thought was "Dame Judi Dench porn"

4/14/2011 3:22:40 PM

An epic about the bible that spans across 10 movies. You know those Christians got $$$ to spend.

4/14/2011 3:54:30 PM

metal gear solid saga
OR
I'd stage a movie or events of a movie in real life such that it looked like some epic story line was actually happening. all filming would be done underwraps. this would get authentic news media and such involved.

4/14/2011 5:27:52 PM

I'd make the longest movie ever at 88 hours in length. It will be called:

Kevin Costner Reads The Bible

4/14/2011 5:32:19 PM

I would find a charismatic but impoverished minor league baseball pitcher and offer him a choice: either take $10 million up front, or spend $200 million in 30 days to inherit the full billion. Then film the hijinks that ensue.

4/14/2011 5:39:02 PM

Willem Dafoe should read the Bible

not Kevin Costner
