Rate this idea for an epic film.

[LightSpectra]

A dramatization of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, dealing with the motivations of the Black Hand, the power of fervent nationalism, the moral dilemma of a senile emperor having to choose between war and decay.

Starring Shaquille O'Neal as Gavrilo Princip.

Eh? Eh?

 

[Godwynn]

Sounds like a terrible idea for a movie, and a terrible idea for a thread.

 

[LightSpectra]

Alas... one of these days, I'll have an unequivocally brilliant idea. You'll see!

 

[Perfection]

I would gladly pay 10 dollars of my hard-earned money to watch said film.

I can't wait until that day comes, because right now I would rather jab myself with an HIV positive needle than to see any of your ideas become reality.

Could you be Franz Ferdinand, and instead of you stabbing yourself, it's Shaq stabbing you?

Work with me, here...

I don't know if Shaquille O'Neal would be the best choice. Irish people don't really look like Serbs.

So it is also an Alt-History movie with Princip stabbing Franz Ferdinand?

It could be, is all I'm saying.

 

[Godwynn]

It could be, is all I'm saying.

If you are going for Alt-History, at least go all the way.

Have Franz Ferdinand (me) jump out of the car and strangle Princip (Shaquille O'Neal) with his bare hands.

 

[REDY]

Another provocation of Serbs? Not good idea, we need moderate them with some propaganda movie, preferably make Magnificent seven fighting againist albanian bandits

 

[Truronian]

Could Franz Ferdinand the Archduke be played by Franz Ferdinand the band? I would pay to see them die.

 

[Racsoviale]

and perhaps Princip could be controling one of these

only warhammer 40k nerds will get this one

Yes, another "Americans steal European history in order to mutilate it" film is what we need

The moral dilemma is soooooooooooooooo... I don't know the right English word, so I'll use graphic depiction: Completely unrelated to history.

A movie about the assasination could be good though, if it was done properly (without all the crap Americans add to their films).

 

[Gecko1]

Only if directed by Michael Bay.

 

[aelf]

No, he must get Zack Snyder to direct. His style suits the OP.

why don't they make more history relevent films? I'd love to see the battle of grunwald on my 49" tv! Or how about a movie about some sort of greek battle? Or some sort of Roman-Celtic battle? How about the battle of Leipzig?
