24. That one awesome movie idea that still hasn’t been done yet

I wanna see a Transmetropolitan adaptation. Considering the material some things would need to be parred back, but that's mainly in regards to some background visuals. The story itself would hold up even in a modern setting. My fear would be that they fuck with the story like they did with Kick Ass, changing the whole tone and point.

I've tried thinking of who might be a good cast choice, but it's really hard to say. I don't wanna just choose some high profile bald guy, but I can't think of anyone who'd be able to play Spider's crazed and verbose persona (*edit* actually, shaved and slim him down, Robert Downey Jr would probably be pretty decent). Channon would (and probably should when you think about it) be played by a tall model; who exactly I couldn't guess, probably some flavor of the week. Yelena would be played by Helena Bonham Carter; please, like that was ever in doubt.

*EDIT*

I saw that [personal profile] limiinal too listed this as her choice. I, independantly, also come to this conclusion. What this means is obvious; Hollywood is an idiot.

Yeah, I think Robert Downey Jr. could really bring that frantic energy. I do wonder what a younger Jeremy Irons would have done with the role, though.
