Not really an original idea but how about this? Movies like Independence Day and War of the Worlds are based on the re-used extraterrestrial aliens wanting to displace the entire human species. Been there. Done that. How about a reversal? Sure, Avatar had humans killing indigenous super tall blue (and nearly nude) people but they would have left the native population alone if their existence did not interfere with their mining operations (nothing spells lack of compassion like g-r-e-e-d).
How about a movie where humans are carrying out planet-wide genocide, and winning without any real opposition from the native alien population, for the simple reason of taking sole possession of their world? There was a good but simple animated movie called Battle For Terra where humans left a dying Earth for a new world. Humans, making the voyage in slowly malfunctioning spaceships, found the world inhabited and the military decided it was an Us or Them scenario.
The natives lived in an atmosphere almost devoid of oxygen. Humans had technology that could produce oxygen on a global scale. The military attempted to use the technology and would have wiped out everybody on the planet if not for the combined efforts of an empathic male human and a curious female native teaming up (this was a PG movie for anyone getting the wrong idea
). Let the proposed movie be devoid of any empathic humans and let the worldwide survival of the fittest ensue! ~insert loud diabolical laughter here~

Garlin looks more the part but I think Goodman could pull off Weinstein's mannerisms better.For some reason I've had Garlin in my head since this stuff started unfolding.

Yeah and I like Jeff Garlin tbh, rather not for selfish reasons. Goodman would fit the bill to a tee from past roles I've seen him play; O Brother Where art Thou comes to mind.

Would love to see a reboot of Oliver Twist where he becomes politically radicalized as an orphan and conspires to overthrow the capitalist order symbolized by his maternal grandfather who tries to "save" him and turn him into a proper bourgeois gent. Dickens meets Engels, Marx, Lenin. Add some Urukai as the monstrous henchman of capital who must be dispatched by the droves before finally confronting the alien, known only as "the invisible hand, " who is the one actually responsible for the secret enslavement of humanity. Hollywood action and music served with a social conscience.

I'd like to see a remake of The Outsiders. It was a great book and a cheesy movie but had a cool story line. Obviously it wouldn't be the Greasers vs. Socs anymore, but I could see the story fitting with several different social classes. There still has to be a Ponyboy and Sodapop Curtis though just because they're fun to say.

DO starship troopers as the novel actually was.
Actually just about any great novel as it actually was intended. So very few ever come close to not only the quality but the intent of the book.
