They should get David Milch and Co to do Bravestar as an unofficial continuation of Deadwood.

Robotech/Macross would probably be easy to adapt. Military themed, giant aliens, strong character list, giant mechs .... they'd fuck it up.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was originally a comic book before it became a cartoon, and the 1990 movie is closer in tone to the comic than the cartoon. The sequel was more like the cartoon.

It would also do huge money in Japan. I think there are tangled rights issues, since Voltron was a hacked-up version of a Japanese show.

Not sure when it came out but in the mid 90s Inspector Gadget had a son that had a show called Gadget Kid or Gadget Boy. Only saw like 2 eps, not very good.

Another Masters of the Universe is actually in the pipeline. Jeff Wadlow (Kick Ass 2) was hired to write last week.

Screw the "Justice League" movie, I want "Super Friends!" That truly is a great solo super hero.
