What I’m asking for specifically is what event rather horrific or terrific or someone’s life rather horrific or terrific should be told. Like for example. It was a biography about Sixto Rodriguez, a musician who had no idea that his music was loved by millions. I think that aside from the biography about him, his story would make an excellent movie.

So now im asking you! What story NEEDS to be told?

I can’t believe the movie the Black Count based on the life of Alexandre Dumas’ father,  has still not been made. I read the book and thought this would make such a good movie.

It’s a unique situation and his story has been overlooked.

A film adaption of the Vanity Fair article The Golden Suicides, about two young artists and the events that lead up to their deaths. A fantastic read that have potential to become quite a remarkable adaptation.

I don’t know if this doesn’t count, as it’s fictional and has been adapted before, but The Count of Monte Cristo. There isn’t a definitive, epic version like there is for Gone With the Wind, The Godfather, The Lord of the Rings, etc.

I want a disaster epic depicting 9/11. Don’t focus on the terrorists. Just focus on the people whose lives were lost on that fateful day. Make it big budget. Ensemble cast. Award-winning cinematography, film editing, sound, etc.

I said what i said.

Buddy, I understand where you are coming from but you worded it very wrong with the “badass cinematography” part. Nothing was badass about 9/11 but i understand where you want a tragic and very real feeling movie about the horrific event.

Awww ok. I apologize for wording it wrong. I mean we have movies about great real-life tragedies all the time. I don’t expect this movie to come out anytime soon (maybe another 10 years), but it is a story that will be a hit if done right.

It’s just all of the 9/11 movies I have seen either weren’t big enough or didn’t focus on the tragedy itself.

Anyway, yeah. That’s my opinion.

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood made me want a historically accurate version of the Manson family and the murders. As horrible as it was I think it’s a story that needs to be told. I was shocked how many people my age don’t know much about it

OUATIH used Sharon Tate and the Manson family as mere backdrops in service of a bigger story. But you’re right, it is a story worth telling, especially after the horrible Haunting of Sharon Tate movie

Why can’t we just get a legitimate Sharon Tate biopic instead?
One that focuses on her life and career and who she was beyond her tragic murder because her story has never really been told 🙁
