Who would be the ideal filmmakers to make the different EU books?

I know there won't be movies, but it's cool to think -- if GL and John Williams decided not to be involved in the making, which directors and composers would be ideal for which EU novels?

 

Tarantino would be interesting, but unsure if he could pull it off, so I'd say Woo. The visual effect in his films is beautiful

 

That's rough, I don't really see directors with the kind of ambition that Lucas or Speilberg had these days.

Perhaps M. Night Shyamalan. He's good at exploring characterization and he already captured the essence of the comic book form in "Unbreakable."

"The Professional" leads me to think that Luc Besson would work wonders with a Boba Fett type character.

 

I'd say John McTiernan or Luc Besson for the Wraith books.

James Cameron for Star by Star (for obvious reasons).

Ridley Scott for VP and DT

Michael Bay for Rogue books

Paul Verhoeven for BFC

 

Tarentino directin a SW movie... heheheh.

Lando: Mmmm... this is some damn good caf. I would've been happy with some freeze dried Taster's Choice, but he springs this serious gourmet $#!* on us.

Karrde: Don't tell me how [censored]ing good my caf is. I know how good it is cuz I'm the one who bought it. When Shara (sp? his new body guard) buys caf, she buys $#!*. I buy the gourmet expensive kind because when I drink caf, I want to taste it.

etc...

Woo uses too much [censored]ing slow-motion.

 

he uses it to full effect





Jacen: Well you gotta have an opinion, I..*BANG*

Jaina: What was that?

Jacen: Ahh [censored]

Jaina: What?

Jacen: I just shot Anakin in the face

 

Kyp: Okay, let's go over this one more time. Mr. Horn?

Jacen: He keeps the transport parked outside the Vong Barracks.

Kyp: You?

Jacen: I stand outside the main enterance and keep a watch out. If any reinforcements come, I signal you.

Kyp: Mr. Katarn and Mr. Rhysode?

Jacen: They're crowd control. They take out whatever Vong necessary and subdue the rest.

Kyp: Myself and Mr. Solusar?

Jacen: You go after the stolen weapons. We're there for those weapons only. So no alarms should go off.

Kyp: That Twi'lek's [censored]?

Jacen: Right here on my [censored].

 

"Where did you get that swoop?"
"It's a speeder bike, honey."
"well, where did you get tha speeder bike?"
"I stole it from an Imp."
"What's an 'Imp'?"
"The Imp's dead honey. Imps dead.

 

Kyp: You kill anybody?

Dorsk 82: A few Stormtroopers.

Kyp: No real people?

Dorsk 82: Just Stormtroopers.





Booster: Now let me ask you a question, Corran. When you drove in here, did you notice a sign out in front that said, "Dead Imperial storage"?

Corran: Booster...

Booster: Answer the question! Did you see a sign out in front of my house that said "Dead Imperial storage"?

Corran: Naw man, I didn't.

Booster: You know why you didn't see that sign?

Corran: Why?

Booster: 'Cause storin' dead Imperials ain't my Sithin' business!

 

Steven Spielberg could do the NJO books, so could Peter Jackson, Chris Columbus, the Wachowski brothers, and Sam Riami.
Imagine a Kevin Smith Star Wars movie, now that would be interesting (if you've seen Jay and Silen Bob Strike Back, you know what I'm talking about ).

 

Ted, the Jedi: I haven't got a problem. I've got [censored] problems! Plural. Care to here? Well, most recently there's this big Hutt gangsta dude stickin' his finger in my chest. There's his hooligan guards shootin' their blasters at me. There's ships blazin' a fire. There's the putrid rotting corpse of a dead Zeltron stuck in the bulkheads. There's a big kriffin' amphistaff from Yoda knows where stuck in my leg infecting me with Yoda knows what. Finally, there's me, Walkin' out the temple, right kriffin' now.

 

Hey if you guys head over to MSN right now you can chat it up with Michael Mann!! Look for it in the news part of the home page.

 

The Coen Brothers would make a sweet SW movie...I can imagine them tackling the oddball lowlife like Zuckuss or 4-LOM.

 

who did MI2? something Chow? Something Fat? He'd kick arse!

 

John Woo.

 

nooo, John Woo. Chow Yun Fat is a common lead in Woo films, such as Hard Boiled, A Better Tommorow and The Killer

 

Two words: Peter Jackson.

He could film all of the EU at once, too.

 

I sure hope none of these ideas ever come to fruition.

 

Kevin Smith directs The Courtship of Princess Leia. Instead of Han using the sleep gun to kidnap Leia, he just gets her REALLY high!

 

Honestly though, I would never even consider 90% of the mentioned directors as making any of the books into films without completely transforming them to fit their own styles. Tarantino, the Wachowski brothers and Woo are great, but I would absolutely hate it if they tried to make a SW film. I'd say the best guy mentioned is Peter Jackson.

 

Before A Better Tommorow, Woo directed comedies.
