  • How about the Mona Lisa so we can find out what she’s smiling about once and for all?

  • I think Tragic Prelude, a mural in the Kansas State Capitol, by John Steuart Curry would make a GREAT animated film!

  • Dan Eldon’s “Murder By The Mob” was painted when he was only nineteen, and eerily foreshadows his death by a mass mob just three years later. A film on Eldon’s incredible, albeit short, life would likely mirror the political tones of something like Waltz With Bashir or Persepolis.

  • I think I would like to see Andrew Wyeth’s “Christina’s World”, because it is an accurate depiction of a person who is reaching for something she will never get. I think that could be said for the rest of us,

  • Maybe Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s ‘Le Déjeuner des Canotiers’ because wouldn’t it be nice to be at that lovely lunch.

  • Edvard Munch’s “The Scream” would make a fantastic De Palma suspense/thriller film… but I would say he’s already done it and its a masterpiece in and of itself.
