i wouldn't say no to that, but if we're dreaming, denis villeneuve please
Word!! Right? But I don't know, Denis' stuff is gorgeous and amazing, but a bit too stark sometimes. I'm an unabashed fan of that 70's
Métal hurlant aesthetic, highly stylized like "
Mandy", or the "
Color Out of Space". I'm such a sucker for the fearless artistic diversity of some of the earliest Dark Horse stuff.
The powers that be need to stop banking of massively funded tentpoles and meet somewhere beautifully half way in between the bank-breaking budgets of Hollywood style blockbusters and the modestly funded fan films that came out of the 40th Anniversary shorts. Do a series of Fox Searchlight style artsy takes that explore bold and different visions on indie film production budgets flush in the kind of diversity of storytelling that Dark Horse embraced. You might get some duds, but you're bound to get some absolute gems as well.
If y'all haven't checked it out, take a peek at
Blood Engines, I've only seen one ep so far, but it's the perfect vibe for that 70's Space Truckin' junkie in your family. Straight up Classic Heavy Metal style. Less on the Jean-Pierre Jeunet, and more on the
300 or
Fury Road style side.
