Movies I'd Like to see Made #1: Harding

At the end of each year (well, 2012 and 2010) I write about my favorite movies of the year. I like every movie on those lists, and am looking forward to what's coming in 2013. However, I have a list of movie ideas that have yet to be brought forth by any studio, either major or independent, which I will be revealing to you, dear readers, over the next few weeks. I doubt these ideas will see the bright lights of the studio, as they are far too busy creating more sequels to comic book movies. Feel free to use any of these ideas, or hire me to write the script. Either way is good.

Harding

Have you seen the box office receipts for Lincoln? That's a lot of money for a historical film. Of course, now that we've seen a film starring our greatest President, it's appropriate we get one about one of our worst. Yes, folks, it's time for a picture about Warren G. Harding, the George W. Bush of his time. Relive the glory days of the Teapot Dome scandal, and then lament as President Harding succumbs to congestive heart failure. What's more, it sets up a potential sequel with the swearing in of that talkative fellow Calvin Coolidge. If you really work at it, you can throw Herbert Hoover in for a trilogy, kind of as The Hobbit to the Depression and World War Two's Lord of the Rings.
