Re: Dream Combinations

I remember this thread being one of the very first posts I ever made in the criticker forums, back when I was young and green and knew nothing about film and thought that just because I had heard of Studio Ghibli before my other friends, it made me some sort of expert Film buff. :oops: It''s kind of embarrassing looking at back at my old posts. But I wanted to revive this thread for one reason:

You know what my ultimate fantasy film would be? A big-budget feature-length Musical adaptation of Janelle Monae's Metropolis series, directed by Ava DuVernay, and obviously starring Monae in the lead role. I've been a fan of Monae since her ArchAndroid album in 2011, and have always thought it would make a great film, but now that Monae's become a big-name award-winning actor in her own right, it would probably be a lot easier to convince producers to finance such a film. In fact, Monae has been open from the beginning about wanting to eventually adapt her albums into a film, and a large part of me suspects that the only reason why she got into acting in the first place, was so that she could one day make a Metropolis film a reality. A dystopic, funktacular afro-futurist reality.

Anyways for an example what the film would probably look like check out her music video for "Many Moons":
