That, sir, would be one kick ass trilogy.
I'll stop taking things off-topic now.

I heard he was working on one at the time of his death. Remaking Commando,
Predator and Terminator as a triptych exploring the themes of love, loss and
redemption.
Sorry.

I'd kind of like to see a Kieslowski attempt at Commando, though. That'd be

The "anime" tag only does a disservice to the directors you mention if the
word is interpreted in its Western common parlance. "Anime" really value
neutral, however, it has come to mean a variety of things to a variety of
people. A feature length film is a feature length film, animated or not.
Gatekeepers (critics, web masters ;)) are able, or should be, to make
distinctions between sen to chihiro and Pokemon as well as they are able to
make distinctions between Trois Coleurs and Commando.
