I think that there should be a Nerdfighter challenge to create short films out of tfios. There's a lot of talent floating about in this community.

"That's an outlandishly broad audience to have to like your thing. Like, that's a huge audience to have to pay 10 or 11 dollars to see your thing." Context is everything. Also, I am apparently 10.

I think that the nerdfighter community should make the movie. John could be the director, and nerdfighters could volunteer as the actors. Wouldn't that be cool?

I agree with what you are saying about the movie having to have the same "Soul". Take Narnia and Lord of the Rings for example. Lord of the Rings was directed by some one who had a passion for the series and did extremely well winning 16 Academy awards while Narnia was directed by someone who only loved the plot. The first movie did extremely well while the second not as half as well because there are extra added things that did not go with meaning of the novel and the third was worse.

It's most likely neither a Mr. or Mrs. Mumple, but a Miss Mumple.

Get Micheal Bay to direct, and you got yourself a blockbuster

I think the Max Mayham books could fill the special effects quota. Focus the story around the books and stuff and have clips from them.

I want to be a rock star and title my debut album "My Apologies to Mister or Misses Mumple". Now i just need to find some musical talent.

@marisaissocoollike Glad I'm not the only one who noticed. I was like, "Hank's and my"!!!!!!!!!

it seems like you would be more down with the collaborative artistic process of moving making considering all the work you already do encouraging and participating in collaboration amongst talented people create awesome things. there is obviously more risk allowing other people to have that much control over your project but the reward is something so great you could have never accomplished it alone. quit subtly hating on movies....the dark knight is a very serious story really...

YOU SAID "HANK AND I'S"! GAHHHHHH NO.
