If directing doesn't work out, then I want to be a porno director. Movies that don't require plot outside of the typical "Pizza delivery Man" or "TV repair man" plots. I bet those guys are rolling in dough, among other things.
Uh, I was just joking about the porn director thing.
Funny thing is I've always wanted to make a Western. Unfortunately, some would say the genre is pretty much dead, if not damn close to it. The last interesting ones in the past few years have been Tombstone, Wyatt Earp, Unforgiven, and Dances With Wolves (if you want to call that a Western). Then there was American Outlaws which doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath.
Westerns are one of my favorite genres, with films like The Searchers, Red River, True Grit, Winchester '71, The Man Who Shot Libery Valence, Shane. There's something mythological and grand about those films, which I think accounts for their timeless appeal. No wonder Star Wars is called the "Western in outer space." It does have the same mythological pull as westerns.
It would also be great to also do the "Epic to end all epics." It sweeps the Oscars and knocks Titanic out of the #1 spot. And it's so magnificent and groundbreaking people immediately about forget all previous films. "Gone with the Who?" Hell yeah.
