Personal superman rankings (without ever having watched Smallville)

Rankings of the various men to play the big blue Boy Scout. I’ve only got a passing familiarity with Tom Welling, so sorry Tom Fans, he’s not here!

Tim burton’s Superman lives (1998)

My version consolidates the best parts of different scripts, casting choices and story elements from the development of the troubled film, as well as some of my own. A Kryptonian beast called doomsday is unleashed on superman, thanks to a clinical coluan alien called Brainiac. Brainiac teams with Lex Luthor to kill the man of steel, and he must be resurrected by Kryptonian forces..

News central

Basically what the onion would be if it was an “actually good” movie. A veteran news anchor finds himself covering ridiculous stories told as sketches with an all star cast.

Inspector Gadget movie reboot

John Q. Adams is a bumbling, ageing cop who gets signed up for an experimental program. He becomes inspector gadget and must foil the insidious MAD organisation.

Pop factor USA

Simply an American translation of the 2008 one off comedy special Britain’s got the pop factor, which spoofed Cowell produced Talent shows. This is if it was cast in 2008.

The little mermaid (2023) (my cast)

Simply an alternative cast (and maybe crew) for the Disney remake of the little Mermaid.

The son of God

An old fashioned biblical epic with an all star cast, about the life and death of Jesus Christ. Help from religious contributors (of which I am not) is appreciated.

Superman the new animated series

A new animated reboot of Superman , potentially starting a new animated universe of my own devising.Enemies include Lex Luthor, General Zod, Brainiac and livewire among others.

Dinosaurs

An original animated film idea. Think The Lion King with Dinosaurs. The proud king Razorback leaves a power vacuum after he dies (of natural causes) this time, but a usurper is suspected. Apart from the surface level similarities it is not a musical and focuses on the natural world. It also shares the mystical element.

Scooby Doo meets Batman (2002)

What if instead of a regular Scooby Doo movie, WB decided to make a belated crossover sequel to Batman and Robin. Sounds like a disaster!? Hopefully not so. Featuring an original story with two Villains (Scarecrow and Clayface).

Looney tunes: the movie

A hip, big budget reboot of Looney Tunes. In looney Tune land, the Looney Tunes are threatened by the insidious “Mr. Big”, a caricature of David Zaslav. Mr. Big has an evil plan to replace classic cartoons with cheap reality programming. Will he be stopped!

Torchwood; miracle day (2023)

Simply an alternate cast for Torchwood Miracle Day

The pink Panther (2025)

In this reboot of the Iconic comedy franchise, mooted to star Eddie Murphy in real life, inspector Jacques Clouseau is the most bumbling member the surete has ever had. However when the Pink Panther diamond is stolen by British Thief The Phantom, the Shah of Lugash puts Clouseau on the case. However, in a twist unique to this version (which is due to be a live action animated hybrid, Clouseau discovers the literal Pink Panther.

The undying world

An idea for a prestigious sci fi mini series (not particularly original mind you) about a world that cannot die. Scientists, government agents and world leaders are at the epicenter. The idea came from observing the little loved 4th series of Doctor Who spin-off Torchwood, which was called Miracle Day and dealt with a similar premise. My idea has the main character be a cia agent called David Manners.

The Windsors: the movie

In this big screen adaptation of the irreverent Channel 4 sitcom, Charles is finally King and Camilla plots to secure the destiny of the Parker Bowles Dynasty. Meanwhile, Prime minister Rishi Sunak confronts Charles over the coronation budget and Beatrice and Eugenie try to save their father from being deported to Turkey.

Down under: the men at work story

A hypothetical biopic of men at work (more “Rocketman” than “Bohemian Rhaspody”, focusing on the charismatic figures that made the Aussie group possible.

Johnny English: the last mission.

Ageing secret agent Johnny English is brought out of retirement for a final time to face Romain Sauvage, son of his first enemy Pascal Sauvage. He teams up with MI6 agent Felicity Caldwell and his old partner Bough to track him to his home in the south of France, where lies a stolen microchip. His plot is to blackmail the British royal family into installing him.

Doctor men: the animated series

A kid aimed animated series based on the line of popular mr men Doctor who books, harking back to iterations like the 1974 and 1996 series.

Robin hood: men of Sherwood

I saw a b movie called the king’s guard and realized it had the makings of a decent Robin Hood adaptation if executed rightly. Here’s one with an all star cast.

Who p-p-plugged Roger Rabbit

It’s impossible to do a sequel to Roger Rabbit without Bob Hoskins, so what about a reboot, based on Gary K.Wolf’s second book. Roger is cast as Rhett Butler in the classic Gone with the wind, but an evil twin may sabotage him.
