The Film: Peter Jackson’s mammoth fantasy trilogy that did full, unexpected justice to Tolkien’s classic books.
The Spin-off: Tolkien sketched out a huge world and mythology to prop up the headline stories of Middle-earth, and there’s more than enough here for a series. The final part of The Silmarillion provides the basis for an era-spanning history covering everything from the origins of Sauron to his re-emergence between The Hobbit and the central trilogy. Yes please.
The Cast: There’s some latitude here as Tolkien has offered only a sketch of these events. We’d have the now older and wiser Stuart Townsend – famously ditched as Aaragorn the day before filming on Jackon’s films – back to play ring-blunderer Isildur, and Kevin McKidd as anyone at all because he’s amazing, especially with a sword.

I could have picked 27 movies out of a hat and made the same argument.

The Burbs! It could feature Ricky Butler, Art Weingartner, Ray Peterson and Mark Rummsfield, being hired to investigate missing persons and strange goings on in middle class American suburbia! It would have to keep it's 80's setting too. Ray - Jon Cryer, Art - Matt LeBlanc (with a bit of weight on), Rummsfield - Bruce Campbell, Ricky Butler - Corey Feldman again.

I think maybe Underworld would do well on the small screen. The batle between the Vampires and Lycons might be good (saying that theres a lot of shows with vamps in them) all jumping on the Twilight bandwagon of Success.
