Posters for Presidential Action Movies We’d Like To See

February 20, 2012 Posted in Entertainment, Movies, Pics, WTF

Last week we told you about the first trailer for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. In that article, we also mentioned our Tumblr post about FDR American Badass – which is most likely a joke, but we’d like it to be real. Those two ideas prompted us to wonder if maybe this were the new cinematic trend. One year it’s superheroes, next year it’s fairy tales, maybe this is the year of Presidential action stars? Since, today’s President’s Day, we’re giving away four GOLDEN concepts for action movies featuring our greatest Commanders-in-Chief to Hollywood (since they can’t think for themselves). We even created posters for ‘em. You’re welcome, moviemakers. Check ‘em out and let us know your ideas in the comments.

President: Andrew Jackson
Title: The Nullification of Old Hickory
Tagline: Bank on this duel going into overtime.
Premise: The Bourne Identity meets Shooter meets Unforgiven. The Tennessean has seen his fair share of duels over the years and he’s won ‘em all. But, he’s not getting any younger and his enemies are growing. With the aid of an unlikely Indian sidekick, he must out-shoot an up-and-coming mystery mercernary with ominous ties to the national bank.

President: James K. Polk
Title: The Dark Horse Agenda
Tagline: He came from nowhere to conquer everything.
Premise: V for Vendetta meets The Lone Ranger meets Driver. After flying under the radar for most of his life, Polk’s meteoric rise to prominence have cause many to take notice and a litany of questions to come his way. He’ll answer them all one by one as soon as he’s done crossing killer cupachabras off his list.

President: Theodore Roosevelt
Title: Colonel Cowboy, The Bull Moose
Tagline: Trusts aren’t the only things he busts.
Premise: Braveheart meets Die Hard meets Taken. This man’s man does it all with a grunt and a grin – so when a mild mannered environmentalist turns into a madman, he sets out to protect his domain from genetically-engineered beasts.

President: Harry S. Truman
Title: Hellgiver
Tagline: If you can’t stand the heat, get your ass out of the country.
Premise: The Dark Knight meets Hancock meets Watchmen in this dark tale about a man faced with an impossible decision, who meets his challenges head on with a no holds barred attitude that sullies him in the eyes of the public but perseveres for the greater good.
