Idea for Live Action SR Parts 1 and 2!

Director: Alfonso Cuaron

Why: Did and excellent job with Children Of Men, particularly the one shot sequences and extreme sense of realism that was put into it. Really sucked you in and made it feel as if something like that could happen in real life.

Now people imagine if this guy did the same thing with a live action version of the Second Renaissance Parts 1 and 2.

* It would look great to see what the world looked like (live action) before Operation Dark Storm took its toll on the planet

*One shot sequences for the war sequences = win. Would look like a gem if filmed right

* CGI would be the only issue. Hopefully Cuaron could get ILM on board.

Anyone else with me on this? I really can't think of any other directior best suited. Steven Spielberg but he would never make it dark enough.

I think he would do a fantastic job of combining realism with this story. He is great at what he does.

Interesting choice. The only other director I can think of would be Paul Greengrass.

Thanks for the replies! I know it will probably never happen but heres hoping anyway!

I have been thought about the same. If it's done with class, style, good taste and specially with "talent", that could result on a terrific prequel or prequels.
Besides Cuarón (which would be a wonderful choice) two names more comes to my mind: Andrew Niccol (Gattaca) and Alex Proyas (Dark City, I Robot).

Some names to avoid: McG, Roland Emmerich, Tony Scott, Stephen Sommers and in particular Michael Bay and Uwe Boll.

I think Neill Blomkemp for sure after seeing District 9. But the film is good enough in its animatrix form...we dont need a live action film.
