If you had an unlimited budget and could make one movie, what would it be? Who would direct, star, etc?
:shifty:
Michael Bay directs. Mel stars as Charles XII in "Rysskampen".
"You may take our finns, but you will never take our kingdooooooooooooom"
It would be the Honor Harrington series, or the Mote in God's Eye.
I will leave it to the people more conversant in current movie stars to cast the flicks.

Never read the Honor Harrington series.
Alan Turing: The Hormone Years. James Cameron directs Megan Fox (as Turing) and Edward Norton (as the man he loved) in a tight psychological drama that will have you question what you thought you knew about life, love, and what it means to be human.

Or what?
Heck, I'd direct and star in it myself.
Not sure what it would be, but I'd probably write the screenplay, too.
It would be hardcore porn movie with convincing storyline and top Hollywood stars.
A film set in a science fictiony alternate world war one with sky dreadnoughts blasting the poo out of each other.
A film guaranteed to make lots of moolah. I'm a hypothetical sellout.

Better be "The Mote in God's Eye"; the opening specifies you can only make one movie. I'd watch a movie based on "Mote" anyway.
Myself? I'd be tempted by the idea of making an "as historically accurate as possible" film about Caesar's conquest of Gaul and all the political shenanigans going on back in Rome during that decade. The concluding scene, of course, would be Caesar standing on the banks of the Rubicon watching the first Legionary step onto the bridge. Haven't decided whether or not to go with the classic "The Die is Cast" (Latin) or reword it slightly (as one eyewitness actually says he quoted in Greek at this point, not Latin.)
The film would need to be at least four or five hours long, of course...but so what? Battles, Politics, Romance, Betrayal, Murder - I think it'd be great.
Killer Klowns from Outer Space II
Harald Hardrada's Saga.
Just for kicks, I'd let a friend of mine direct, and it would star Jean Claude van Damme as young Harald and Bruce Willis as old Harald.
Harold Godwinson would be played by Mel Gibson. I'd make sure to give Idris Elba a part too. Maybe as St. Olav.
Shake that Bear II starring Jessica Alba and me in my 'acting' debut.
No idea. What I do know is I'd get to do HOTT female casting.

Most definitely.
A film about the Battle of Kursk. No love interest. Just tanks blowing up.
Church of Fudge 3-D

If it's a porno, I'd consider it.
But I'd rather make
Older Women, Younger Women Vol. 45 starring Sharon Stone and Scarlet Johanssen.
I think I would want to do a biopic about George Washington or Thomas Jefferson (or maybe one about both), but I would want it to be as objective as possible... which of course means it could never be made. :)

Well, since my Option A has already been chosen, I guess I'd say either a Godzilla project or a Legion of Super-Heroes movie. I have an unlimited budget, you said, right? Like, a billion dollars? I have no idea who would star in either. With a billion dollars, I'm not sure I'd need anybody.
