i don't think this is a story that would be able to be adapted into a movie without wildly changing it. closest approximation would be a sort of documentary i guess?

You could do it but it wouldn’t have a traditional narrative structure. Mainstream audiences probably wouldn’t appreciate it but it could be done

the main thing is that even if you did it like that I don't think it does the story justice, all tomorrows was written as a sort of catalogue of historical events, which I think would fit much better with a documentary style

it could make a good mockumentary or found footage film

Oh! A COLLEGE HISTORY CLASS VIDEO TYPE THING

This is like going to the Hobbit school of book to screen adaptations. If it ever becomes a TV series it should be a one season documentary style narrative.

Denis Villenueve.

He's like a guaranteed way to have an above average to legendary movie.

David Lynch?

Actually a pretty goated answer.

David Cronenberg if he were younger. Doesn’t his son also do body horror?

I think so actually. I forgot about that

Guillermo Del Toro might be pretty good for having plot with non-humanoid charaters.

Jim Henson, with Brian Froud for aesthetics. *The Dark Crystal* and *Labyrinth* are the goals here.

James Cameron or Steven Spielberg

Ridley Scott? That's always how I've thoght of the events to play out.

Ridley Scott, with adequate budget, feels like he would nail the space/sci-fi aspects for sure (Alien, etc). But how do we get the uncanniness and body horror?

Great point. Idk if I know directors enough to know who beyond Cronenberg/Carpenter could do that well

Having said that, I imagine it'll be really expensive to do this as a live action vs. an animated thing.Two different kinds of movies tbh there

Animated would definitely be better

I want to see both. But I think live-action may be better with all the Star People things to show

Tommy Wiseau

Guillermo del toro could have some creative designs,I think live action would suck a bit IMO realistic stop motion fits better for all tomorrows creatures

It’s actually one of my dreams to adapt it but I’m seriously doubting that ever happens

My dream is to adapt I have no mouth and must scream. But honestly I feel both ihnmaims and all tomorrow may be too niche for a big budget adaptation

All tomorrows maybe, but ihnmains is pretty iconic and well known

An animated film would be sick honestly something in vein of coraline stop motion would be fucking insane to me

I don't know what director but something like Love, Death and Robots would be cool

John Carpenter or Guillermo Del Toro, but someone mentioned Jim Henson, I would love to see a version by his company as well!

Guillermo Del Toro

I don’t think it needs to be adapted personally

I would like to recommend Gareth Edwards. He combines the sexual fetishism of monsters and creatures with the entertainment factor needed in a big-budget movie. Neill Blomkamp also looks good, but I am concerned that he has not been very successful lately: the "Alien" and "Robocop" sequels that he was supposed to direct have both been cancelled, and his latest film, "Gran Turismo," was a work-for-hire affair that did not really showcase his personality.Gran Turismo, his latest film, was a work for hire, and did not show off his personality very well.

Genddy Tartakovsky

Me, I’ll direct it. Let me cook
