I would go for either Brian Singer (the Usual Suspects, X-man 1 and 2) or Terry Gilliam - reckon both those guys would give an interesting rendering of TFs in their movies!! lol

How about Tim Burton?

No way. We don't want no story in the TF movie.

has anyone considered:

 

Robert Altman? (he could tell the story of G1, BW, BM, AND Armadaverse all in the same 4 hour epic)

or

Tsui Hark (sp?)

That's a joke, right?

It's really too bad that Alfred Hitchcock is gone ...

who theh ell is the second guy you listed, hunter?

think of the Chinese (not hong kong) equivilent to Spielberg.  Feel good actiony films.

 

and yes LMH - Altman was a joke.

but i thought most of this thread was a joke anyway. so i am having fun with it.

 

EDIT:

IMDB'D
