I agree. Saying "what fan films would you make" and "what movies would you make" is different.
I got my script returned, stamped with a Star Trek logo and 'recieved on date', as well as a 'rejection' letter on Star Trek Letter head paper - I still have them. My 1st version was for Next Gen. - that's what the returned script & 'no thank you' letter were for. When DS9 came out, I realized the basic story could be adapted to that set of characters & setting much better, so I re-wrote it just for me & friends to enjoy.
Is was worth a try - had fun doing it.

Does it have to be a fan-film?
If I had multi-millions I'd gladly fund getting The Sarah Connor Chronicles, or Firefly back in production.

I would do the Silmarillion. And remake Knight Rider the right way.

I'm sold on the Firefly idea. I'd spend it working with Nathan Fillion and Joss Whedon to restart Firefly. Albeit, I don't think it is an amazing, just incredible show, but I think it is a good show that should have gone for more than one season and deserves to.
I want to do a Star Trek that's more alien oriented. Like having Earth be destroyed and the number of humans in the federation drop dramatically. Since everyone preaches how Star Trek is a human adventure, might as well give it something that doesn't heavily rely on saving Earth.
Plus, I want to continue the story of the prime universe. Yeah, rebooting to the original characters was genius in the matters of what will make it sell, but I don't care. 40 years of Star Trek lore is too precious and too important to be simply tossed away. Every writer, actor, producer, director and fan who ever helped tell a story deserves better. I'm not scared of canon or history.

I will admit, I actually came up with an idea for a story continuation for Knight Rider myself not too long ago. And as crazy as it sounds, I actually predicted the use of a modern Mustang for KITT (but in the story, I have the original KITT personality and voice and a 2005 Ford Mustang GT belonging to Michael Knight's son named Sean, and had all of KITT's original features). But I didn't go anywhere with it as a treatment though.
The only other idea I had that was fan film related, as I've told Dietrich, was a Star Trek story that explained the branching off between the normal Trek universe and the infamous Mirror Universe. Basically, it involved a young man from the past who is accidentally sent forward in time to end up in the future we know as the Mirror Universe, where he discovers that things are the way they are due to his writing (the idea was inspired by a "what if" I thought about: What if a writer from the past ended up in a future where things are extremely bad and it was inspired by his work? Would he still write it or would he not write at all?). But the story was rather big, and included the use of Empress Hoshi Sato as the main antagonist of the story (set after the events of "Age of the Empress" from the Glass Empires Mirror Universe book). And the Defiant would have been used in a critical situation.

You just pretty much described my philosophy of filmmaking: story first, style second. And if I use special effects, I'm going to go old-school up to the point where there is something I can't pull off with old-school then I would use CG (and with moderation).

I'd contact Edward James Olmos and fund this BSG sequel story he wanted to do. I think it may have even tied into Blade Runner. It would either be the greatest thing ever or madness on a level never conceived by sane men. Either would be a sound investment.
Some sort of sequel to Caprica, just to wrap up the loose ends. I mainly would love to see who struck the first blow, man or machine and would caused it.
Steampunk Tron, 80% of the budget would be spent on acquiring the drugs needed to fully imagine it so it can be written.
Another is an original film I'd love to make. The plot revolves around a summer camp and more Neverending Story references than the actual Neverending Story.
The final is my dream project. I promote a family friendly movie, full of silly kids stuff. The MPAA would see this and give it a "G". But each print would be swapped out for the goriest, most terrifying, most gruesome film ever shot. I'd be the greatest prank ever, but I'd probably go to jail for several things. I do think it would be a cult hit though.

A Maschinen Krieger film. Both James Cameron and Ridley Scott liked the designs of Kow Yokoyama and wanted to know more, but since there really was never any story line, they never pursued it. I'd hire a good writer and make a character-driven story that was set on Earth in 2887, with all those MaK machines doing battle.

Well, for original films, here's a few I would possibly do for my first story:
1. Human Collision - An African-American junkyard owner fixes up a 1971 Plymouth Road Runner, which may or may not be alive through supernatural means, in order to run down a crooked Sheriff's deputy who killed his parents when he was younger.
2. Trigger - A teenage assassin suffers a teenage identity crisis and a guilty conscious while in the middle of a conflict with a high school gang.
3. Reality's Dream - Two friends begin to lose touch with each other when one begins a relationship with a mysterious woman and the other begins to suffer hallucinations which may be more than just hallucinations.
