That reminds me, I'd really like to control the His Dark Materials trilogy.  The main goal would be to make the third movie better than the third book.

Your first goal would be to make the first movie better than the last version.

How could it not be?

Bond.  Almost 50 years old and still going.  I'd like to see what Michael Mann would do with it.  Chiwetel Ejiofor could star.

A Michael Mann Bond film would be amazing.  I would also like to take over Bond and give Johnnie To a chance to put his spin on it...

Yes! Some love for the Bond franchise. I'd cheat with all the lawsuits and even bring SPECTER back for a few films. Ejiofor would be an interesting choice, but I'd let Craig finish his contract first though. Of course people would be wondering how come Bond is suddenly black. But we could say, just like every time a non-fan questions the logic in the franchise: 'Hey, it's a Bond movie!'

I dig the Johnnie To idea.
