Movies about gay cowboys and transsexuals will not make you a lot of money. Hollywood is so stupid.
Here's a movie that will make $300M - a young high school graduate rejects his liberal parents and joins the ROTC in college. He eventually fights in Iraq and becomes a hero. All the time, his parents reject him. But, when he finally becomes a national hero, his parents seize the spotlight and claim now they supported him all along. Upon finally reuniting with his parents, his spits on their shoes and says, "I love my country more than I love you." Final line in the movie.
People will be wrapped around the corner to see it.
The ONLY movie about trans-sexuals worth watching is the Rocky Horror Picture Show. . .and that's only because of the audience par-tic-i. . . . . (wait for it. . . ). . . pation. . .

Here's another suggestion: How about a movie about the Crusades in which the Christians are the good guys. And another: A movie about hunting terrorists in which the terrorists are villains, not soulful victims who have no other means of self-expression.
Then make it. Raise the money yourself if you're so convinced. You've got battle scenes and probably a largish cast, so about $30 million or so should get you there. Hire a screenwriter and give him the outline to work from. Hire actors--there are plenty of them out there and they'll work cheap. Hire a director. Hire a crew. Buy film stock. Rent a camera and lights. Make the movie.
People seem to think that Hollywood has some kind of monopoly on making movies. They don't.
