1. Fight Club- Nothing says violence like Jazz Hands. I’d like David Cook to be in it, just so I can see the shit beat out of him.
2. Superbad- But Micheal Cera and Jonah Hill have to star.
3. Battlestar Galactica- OK, so technically this is a TV show, but who cares? Can’t you just see it? Boomer singing to her other Cylon clones? Except in my head she’s singing “I Don’t Know How To Love Him” from Jesus Christ Superstar. Oooh, they could have a song and choreographed fight scene!
4. Dawn of the Dead- It could be like Thriller, only scarier! Or less scary, depending on what your take is on Michael Jackson.
5. Iron Man- OK, I admit that I’m throwing this in here because I couldn’t think of another movie. But the more I think about it, the more I like it. I mean, Gwenyth Paltrow already sang in that movie with Huey Lewis and Terrence Howard was in Hustle and Flow. As for Downey, I think he has the chops to sing. I mean if Johnny Depp can do it, why can’t he?

I’d like to add:
Less than Zero: 80’s soundtrack turned into Broadway smashes! Inna-Gadda-Da-Vidda! Casting coup: RDJ as Julian’s Dad, Jesse Metcalfe as Julian & High School Musical’s Zak & Vanessa as Clay & Blair!
Deathtrap the Musical: an even darker comic version with Clooney, DiCaprio, and Lohan taking on the Michael Caine, Christopher Reeves, Dyan Cannon classic!
Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors! With all the superhero powers goes these goofy theme songs clashing with Freddy’s singing banter as he goes for the jugular. Instant mash-up classics!
Menace to Society: the urban musical for the people! I envision a Baz Luhrmann/Romeo&Juliet-style complete with Shakespearean dialogue-gone-street!
dang.. someone hire me and we’ll make some $$$!
