Here at Screen Rant we're trying to play a bit of Nostradamus. We started by trying to predict the next big Upcoming Hollywood Movie Fads, then followed that up a few months later with some Ridiculous Toy-Based Movie Ideas and then, most recently, gave some examples of Ridiculous (but Possible) Upcoming Video Game Movies.

It would seem that Hollywood hasn't exactly been listening to our suggestions because not only did we fail to predict a Mafia Wars movie based off the popular Facebook app but the only item from the list that even got a fake trailer was our Oregon Trail idea (and they didn't even mention J.J. Abrams). But we're not going to let that deter us from continuing to try and stay one step ahead of the Hollywood Think Tank.

It appears that Hollywood is now looking to websites for inspiration. The Social Network, which is the supposed true (but not that true) story behind the beginnings of Facebook, is slated to arrive this Fall with some big time names behind it. Add the fact that Google now has a film treatment in the pipeline and you end up with what could be the beginnings a disturbing website-movie trend...

So with that in mind, here's a list of 10 websites that could be next for a big screen adaptation ranging from the absurd, yet plausible, to "come on, man, seriously?" Take a look and see if your favorite website made the list.

MySpace

Website movies My Space poster

(Drama) - MySpace is a compelling drama inspired by, and based on, the mostly true story of the time when the once social networking giant controlled the internet world. Based on a screenplay by Danny Boyle (127 Hours) and directed by Darren Aronofsky (The Black Swan), the story follows co-founders Chris DeWolfe, Josh Berman and Tom Anderson as well as the mismanagement that allowed the dominant website to slip into 2nd place (and further) - by assuming they would always be king of the social network mountain.

MySpace the movie will open shortly before The Social Network (the movie about Facebook) but viewers will be allowed to switch theaters during the middle of MySpace to watch The Social Network instead.

All sorts of weird and strange objects have also been up for bid, ranging from human kidneys to a young girl’s virginity. But what most people don't know is that a demonic cult puts the very souls of people up for auction, with all the winning bids going to B.L. Subub - who always collects in person.

Trouble ensues when Elaine, a casual bidder, accidentally stumbles into the private auction and unwittingly outbids B.L. Now he wants what should rightfully be his. Can she pay the devil his due or will she end up losing her soul in the process?

People of Walmart

(PBS Documentary) - Documentary filmmaker Ken Burns has given the world several award-winning documentary series, offering insight and history behind a number of topics including: Baseball, Jazz Music, and National Parks. This time, he grabs his camera and heads to the number one retail store in the world to showcase the People of Wal-Mart. Inner cities, suburban communities, the hills of West Virginia, the flat prairies of the Midwest, and the sun-kissed coasts of California are just some of the locations Burns takes his audience to give voice to the shoppers of Wal-Mart in order to let them share their stories - through the way they dress.

Families, old guys, celebrities and mulleted-highway truckers are just some of the people that can be found behind the doors of any Wal-Mart in the USA. Some people wear a little (when they should wear a lot); other people are obviously color-blind, but all of them are unique. Through his lens, Burns turns Wal-Mart into a veritable Disneyland filled with colorful characters.

The story continues when Burns takes his camera outside for an even more intimate look at the colorful characters of Wal-Mart - through the vehicles they drive. Begging the question: What do your wheels say about you?

These are the websites that could be worth a hefty batch of gold in Hollywood. I'm sure I've completely missed the boat with one or another, and Hollywood will one-up me again - making a movie based on some piece of obscure HTML code or, quite possibly, something related to PayPal, Yahoo or CraigsList. Who knows at this point?

What website do you think will be the next up for the Hollywood studios?
