What directors would you like to see doing an animated film?

The Common Room Other Animation
#1

Have you ever seen a director’s work, and thought about the possibility of him/her directing an animated production?

I have, and I have a name for you: Quentin Tarantino.

I think this would be positively brilliant. I’m becoming a fan of his really fast; just bought Inglourious Basterds on Blu-ray. I’ve been wanting to own a copy ever since seeing it in the theater. It’s a brilliant film.

Next on my list is Pulp Fiction.

Anyway, back to business.

Is there a director that you’d like to see direct an animated film? Sound off here.

I liked the animated segment in Kill Bill Vol. 1, and I also would enjoy a full-length animated flick from QT. Also, I think a Tim Burton one would be interesting (a traditional one).

#3

Christopher Nolan. I could see him doing some kickass work in the animation world.

#4

Ditto. :stuck_out_tongue:

  • Sam Raimi (animated WarCraft!)
  • Mark Steven Johnson (really like Ghost Rider)
  • Peter Jackson (he said that he is interested in directing a sequel to the upcoming Tintin movie.)
  • Ang Lee (I think he is capable of directing anything) :unamused:

You took mine <____<

But, the other one I was going to suggest is Gary Marshall. Georgia Rule is pure genius.

#6

I’m mainly thinking of his recent short, I’m Here, when I say this, but I think it would be cool to see Spike Jonze experiment with animation.

#7

An animated Spike Jonze film would be interesting. We already know that he can pull off family films really well.

#8

James Cameron. It would be interesting for him to do something different from Titanic and Avatar.

Maybe Avatar: The Animated Film.

#9

Haha, I was about to write JC when I saw your post, gleefan1! At least it better not be Avatar: The Animated Series! :smiley:

I’d like to see Guillermo del Toro direct an animated horror movie a la Coraline. And Michael Mann do an animated crime thriller! Maybe Peter Jackson or Neill Blomkamp do a fantasy epic? With animation, the sky’s the limit, I guess. :slight_smile:

#10

Spike Jonze and Guillermo del Toro are both very, very interesting choices. I vote for them as well.

#11

I would like to see Jason Reitman write animated movie script. I know you said direct, but I can’t think of anybody. But I’ve always thought about how I think it would be cool to see a movie with Jason as the writer of the script.

#12

Terry Gilliam. He always seems very limited by technology (and budget) constraints.

#13

I agree on this one! That would be really interesting.
