Re: You have $100 million to make a film about a historical event....
I realize this is biased by my heritage, but I would love to see some love for Swedish history. For such a small and peaceful (today) country Sweden has seen some amazing military and political action over the years.
Good sources for movies might include a story portraying the rise and rule of Gustav Vasa, the monarch mostly labeled as the founder of modern Sweden. Or the events of the illfated march of Karl XII against Russia; resulting in defeat and his death (a strategic blunder which was then repeated not twice in history by Napoleon and then Hitler). Alternatively I'd like to see a big-budget movie chronicling the legendary accomplishments of Simo Häyhä, the Finish sniper during World War II credited with over 500 confirmed kills. Swede
