Someone good needs to adapt Philip Jose Farmer's masterpiece. It would take at least 2 movies & probably 3 to do it justice.
Since everyone who ever lived (until 1983 if you go by the book as originally written) is on Riverworld, you can have all kinds of cameos (beyond the historical characters: Sir. Richard Burton, Alice Liddell, Sam Clemons, etc. who are main characters) of historical figures getting their commupence, etc.
Plus, it's a great story with good CGI possibilities. Lots of nudity too (in the early scenes & with characters who don't mind walking around naked).
Also there's at least one alien stuck there with the humans & you have neanderthals & gigantopithicus' as well.
What's not to like?
