17. Harlan Ellison's original script for "I, Robot" :)
(Kephra, don't you mean "HG2tG"?)

I'd love to see a mini- or anthology series made from Cordwainer Smith's Instrumentality stories. As a chronological episodic television show, it would kick ass and take names.

Douglas Coupland's _Girlfriend In A Coma_ would be a great movie, and so would Stephen King's Dark Tower series, except I think it'd have to be done as a series of movies, instead of just one.

I'd love to see another revival of The Twilight Zone. Proposed episodes would be:

"The Last Demon," Isaac Bashevis Singer
"1408," Stephen King
"John Jones' Dollar," Harry Stephens Keeler, albeit updated and slightly rewritten from its (original?) publication date in 1955...
"Nackles," Donald E. Westlake/Harlan Ellison (script)
"Polly Plus," Randall Garrett
"Souls," Joanna Russ (this would also make a great movie)
"Rivering," Elizabeth Engstrom
"Roimata," Daphne DeJong
"Maneki Neko," Bruce Sterling

I also want to get my screenplay produced (it's dark fantasy) -- it's called "A Dark Dream Upon Her Head." :) My friend the screenwriter who read the first draft said he hoped I'd remember him in my Oscar acceptance speech... :evilgrin:
