I’d fund A quality Fantasy MMO rpg so it wouldn’t ever have micro transactions and would also scrub all guides about it from the internet in an attempt to bring back community based progression instead of ‘why no meta bro?’
Neuromancer, with out updating it for technology. I want that phone bank scene.
Stargate SG-1.
Not Atlantis, with their star trek uniforms. Not Universe with their angst and jeans.
Hard, military professionals jaunting through wormholes into alien words they don’t comprehend and won’t really try to, fucking up local politics and delicate galactic power balances alike in their incessant hunt for really big fucking guns, and Baal clones.
Came here to say something similar.
A Stargate spin-off with a premise that leans away from Earth being so extremely overpowered like they were by the end of the show. Focus on feet-on-the-ground missions and exploration. Less space battles (but not none), more mysterious alien worlds.
A live-action or animated adaptation of Worm.
Pump as much money as humanly possible into the JWQS / Clear and Muddy Loss of Love animation they’re currently making.
Straight up entirely remake Borderlands 3.
A Pokemon game like Colosseum & XD, but only going up to Gen 4, I don’t really like the direction the designs went after that.
Fund a proper Pacific Rim sequel.
A high budget Bionicle game would be neat.
And, provided I can pay money for a licence or just buy the original IPs, I’d have my favorite fanfics turned into animated shows as well.

A sequel to Ex Machina - Ava’s experiences in the real world. Caleb has managed to escape, and he’s tracking her.
The Expanse
Just 3 more seasons to go
The last few books were amazing.
And the conclusion, the ending… chefs kiss. I loved it.
Would love to see them finish it and stay as close to the books as possible. I think they already deviated quite a bit though.
I’d want to do a series of shows based on the chapters from World War Z
Yeah, I never really got the hate the movie got until I read the book, just seemed like a generic but passable zombie action movie.
Why even buy the rights to the novel if you’re only going to use the title?
it spent way too long in development hell and yeah, the final product is… almost unrelated to the source. shame.
A series could do each chapter justice.
A reboot of Firefly ans Farscape.
Ringworld and its sequels The Ringworld Engineers, Ringworld’s Children, and the Ringworld Throne, with some less-dated attitudes. I mean I’m not totally opposed to rishathra as a concept, but just a few tweaks here and there to catch up with modern attitudes.
If money really wasn’t an issue, the entire “Known Space” series. A chance for some really good CGI with Pierson’s Puppeteers, Kzin, and all the specialised post-human races living on the Ringworld. And Thrint, Slavers, Outsiders, and so on.
Then there’s the first-contact “The Mote in God’s Eye” and its sequel “The Mote in Murchison’s Eye” AKA “The Gripping Hand”. Another opportunity for some interesting three-armed CGI aliens.
Oh, and “Footfall” - an alien invasion story. These aliens look somewhat like baby elephants 😲
Oh, and “Footfall” - an alien invasion story. These aliens look somewhat like baby elephants 😲
aliens come to earth and we all collectively geek out over the next moo deng
I’d buy controlling share of all three companies that own Pokemon and change absolutely nothing except fund Game Freak to hire more software talent and give them enough time for an actual development cycle worth a damn.
Yes PLEASE
THE DARKNESS 3
Blueballed for 15 years.
I would acquire the rights to Tales From The Afternow by Sean Kennedy(The Fucking Man!)
Make a proper hbo quality(westworld level of production) out of it.
Then pay the author to write something that could be turned into a trilogy based on it, but set a thousand years forward.
And create a video game series using the main charqcters various life extensions set between the original series and the new trililogy, where hes on the same space ship but its like the outerlimits and you never know if the next episode is a continuation or a different era because the ship, much like in red dwarf, is essentially an immortal unchanging character
Live action/CGI gargoyles trilogy. Period piece (1991 New York) The vibe should be TMNT secret of the ooze. Silver Fox Johnathan Frakes plays the big bad, but not his original role, I’ll get a writer’s room to figure out his actual link to the situation, revealed at the end of the first movie.
Could end up crossing over with a live action CGI version of the current TMNT mutant mayhem situation, I’m open to it. Maybe The Last Ronan storyline is involved.
I’d buy Magic The Gathering and just make it less greedy
