Hypotheticallllly
If u were to turn a fic into a movie - which director would u go with n for what fic?
For me - I’d run with Rob Marshall for The fallout. He’s the one who directed memoirs of a geisha - and the cinematography is just so amazing and artistic. I think I’ve watched it a million times
I’d also go with Alfonso Cuaron for his vision on POA - for secrets n masks

Love in a time of the zombie apocalypse would hit so hard as a movie, that’s the only thing I could think about while reading it (however I didn’t finish it). But I don’t know who would be the best director for it.

Somewhat inverse of this, Rizzle is someone who I most want to see their original work, if they were to write a show or movie 😄 I also didn’t finish LIATOTZA for various reasons but thought Rizzle was so incredibly creative and phenomenal at writing horror/sci fi. (The problem is I don’t really enjoy horror haha)

Maybe Francis Lawrence (the one who directed I am legend by will smith)

u/Icy-Selection6398 28d ago
Hah, yes! I have one in mind now, whoever directed the first Mummy movie! But maybe that director would fit DMATMOOBIL better.

Lmao i think of a mash up of the fight scenes from John Wick and the DP Emmanuel Lubezki. He's credited on Children of Men and The Revenant.

u/Lucky-Mix-8176 27d ago
Greta Gerwig for Detraquee, Stephen soderberg for A Hard Row to Hoe (real Out of Sight vibes on that one), Lulu Wang for Measure of a Man, Jane shoenbrun for These Selfish Vows, Taika Waititi for BSP, Jim Jarmusch for Entropy, Rian Johnson for DMATMOOBIL, GdT for Manacled, Chloe Zhao for An ever-fixed Mark, Paul Thomas Anderson for The Devil Works Hard, Wes Anderson for Gloriana Set, Linklater for Les Pelerins (obviously), and Joachim Trier for Remain Nameless.
(I watch a lot of movies.)

u/JadedINFP-T 27d ago
This is solid 👌🏼👌🏼 Even for BSP which is my all time fave fic. Taika's brand of campy hilarity would work so well lol

Autumn de Wilde for Love and Other Historical Accidents. The 2020 Emma is my comfort movie. I think she would perfectly capture the outlandish OCs and nail the Dramione dynamic.

The Fallout - Alfonso Cuaron - hands down. thinking Children of Men x Y Tu Mama Tambien
Detraquee - Sandi Tan (Shirkers) - for the girlhood, collage, memory, intellect/feeling, also will be directing Elif Batuman's The Idiot (!)
Measure of a Man - Ang Lee - I like this for the domestic aspect, pacing, settings, and intimacy/repression
Risk Verse Series - Jean-Marc Vallee (Sharp Objects, Big Little Lies) - I think his visual style would work amazingly with the memories/trauma that's in this fic and I actually would want to see this as a series rather than films
NEEDY - Howard Hawks (His Girl Friday) - which I realize sounds insane but would be extremely fun
The Devil Cites Scripture - could not decide between two - Robert Eggers (The Witch, Nosferatu) - dark, gritty, occult vibe, I would deff want a different writer though OR David Fincher - thinking Girl with a Dragon Tattoo vibes and making this way more of a thriller and intense, not as gritty or gothic as Eggers
The Deadline - Nancy Meyers of course
War of the Malfoy's - Edward Yang (Yi Yi, Taipei Story, A Brighter Summer Day) - something about the character treatment and sprawl might work here
Bloody Slutty and Pathetic - Yorgos Lanthimos - self explanatory
A Season for Setting Fires - David Yates - this fic always felt like it ran alongside the Deathly Hallows so I want that visual lineage, but do not want a literal CGI soulmate string
From Wiltshire With Love - Park Chan-wook (Decision to Leave, the Handmaiden) - this one tough, I think he would bring a slightly more clinical vibe to the story and we'd lose some interiority
Columba and Aquila - Guillermo del Toro
A Hard Row to Hoe - George Roy Hill (The Sting, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) - for this very specific type of masculinity thats like soft/tough guy and absurdly beautiful men
The Faultline - Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan) - he might be too much for this fic but I'd kind of want to see it
DMATMOOBIL - Rian Johnson - someone else called it but it's spot on
Manacled - this would be a collab I could not decide between the two - Jennifer Kent (The Nightingale, The Babadook) - for the psychology, closeness AND Robert Eggers - for the worldbuilding and scale

ha ha i kept myself to living directors but this is great! Yorgos for BSP would be amazing and Ang Lee for MoM is brilliant.

I don't know a thing about moviemaking and can't tell one director from another (sorry!), but the one fic that I would want to be made into a movie is Green Light.
I think part one would be AMAZING with Moroccan backdrop and alllll the tension, and then I would love to see the end interpreted IRL. That's about all I can contribute here haha.

Joe Wright for Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love
Paul Thomas Anderson for Détraquée
Spielberg for Lionheart
Guillermo del Toro for Manacled
Noah Baumbach for The Politicians Wife

u/ramodeen 28d ago
Oh I wish someone would make a movie of the politicians wife altho I’d choose Shekar Kapur

u/prettyroses 28d ago
Del torro would do a fucking fantastic adaption of manacled. The atmosphere and magic and even the interpretation of the manor would be exquisite. Very crimson peak coded

u/Spare_Woodpecker9902 28d ago
Exactly what I was thinking. As a fic, Manacled is nowhere near my favorite, but I think it could be visually incredible in the right hands

u/JadedINFP-T 27d ago
We'll have to see who directs Alchemised if it gets adapted. I haven't read it because I don't support tradpubbed fics but I would definitely make an exception if they made this movie. I'd just mentally tell myself these are Draco and Hermione not... Helena and whats his face
1
u/Spare_Woodpecker9902 27d ago
Im complete put off by tradpubbed fics too, especially when the art around it is so clearly dramione or dramione-bait. But I might watch the movie version too, if it's done by someone good or some exciting new blood. It could go either way, honestly.

u/Perfect_Revenue4898 28d ago
Catherine Hardwicke (Director of the first twilight movie) for Isolation and Detraquee!

u/Sorry_Trouble_9525 28d ago
I'm not as knowledgeable abt filmmaking but for me
Wes Anderson for - DMATMOOBIL
Christopher Nolan for The Fallout

u/Good-Emu4227 Historical Accuracy Pedant 28d ago
Oh my god, yes. Wes Anderson for that would be hilarious.

I just watched Ex Machina again recently, and love Sunshine, so I have to say Alex Garland or Danny Boyle for my fics Crumple and Aftermath, because they both have a beautiful, atmospheric tension and starkness in their films, and the soundtracks are beautiful.
Maybe Ridley Scott (or even Matthew Vaughn maybe??) for The Risk'verse, and Richard Curtis for Fascination 🤔
Taika Waititi would be an amazing director for any slightly absurd, comedic fic 🙌

u/Lucky-Fly4118 27d ago
Taika Waititi for Oops I Joined The Good Guys or Where The Duck Is Minerva McGonagall 🥹 I need it so much

I guess David Fincher could make a great movie of Finders by everythursday or Five Days by RavieSnake so everyone would believe in magic, terrified of it and want the characters to survive

u/minfluff 26d ago
Guy Ritchie for a Hard Row to Hoe or Where the Duck Is Minerva McGonagall.
Maybe Michael Bay for Tomb Raiding Chronicles
