I put down ideas that currently have other 'media' in the works, rather than trying to resurrect a franchise
cold.
1. Blade Runner. Already has a great Adventure style game from 10 years or so back, plus the movie has a cult following. And anniversary editions and box sets of the DVD are in the works. Lends itself well to episodic format.
From
wikipedia; "After years of legal disputes, Warner Bros. announced in 2006 that it had finally secured full distribution rights to the film. They planned for three stages of releases for the film. First, a digitally remastered single-disc limited re-release of the 1992 Director's Cut was released on September 5, 2006 in the United States and on October 9, 2006 in Ireland and the UK. Second, Ridley Scott's new "Final Cut" of the film is scheduled for theatrical release in 2007. The third and final phase, a multi-disc box set including the two previously mentioned cuts, the U.S. and International cuts, and bonus features, is also scheduled for 2007. Warner Bros. has plans to release this box set not only on DVD, but also on the HD DVD and Blu-ray disc formats."
2. Dark Crystal. "Henson" has announced a new Manga-style comic set in the Dark Crystal universe, and there's a new Dark Crystal movie currently in production.
From
wikipedia; "A sequel, entitled Power of the Dark Crystal, is currently in (or about to begin) production for 2008. Genndy Tartakovsky is attached to direct. A detailed synopsis can be read at

A manga prequel, Legends of the Dark Crystal, is scheduled for publication by TokyoPop on November 13, 2007. The manga is written by Barbara Randall Kesel, with art by Max Kim. The story will be set hundreds of years before the story in The Dark Crystal, and before the Great Extermination."
