I tried but I still remember those movies.

But I thought that the four part comic written by Mark Ellis was great and would have love to have seen that turn into a tv movie. James West has to stop a secret group from killing President Grant at the 1876 Centennial Expositions and Loveless had a Robur type flighting machine.

There is a guide to the Wild Wild West that gives a plot synopsis for each episode. Buy that first, its a bit cheaper than the whole series.

In any case, this would be an 'aimed at export market' anime

There was a good Steampunk style anime series called Nadia of the Blue Water in which the title character join Captain Nemo and get involve with a battle over the Technological remains of Atlantis.
It was never pick up in the US as a series and instead was at first released as high price VHS release with one 30 minute episode per Tape.

Also there were production problems with series because the TV network in Japan decided that they wanted more episodes after the production of the series and resulted in the African Episodes in which the character run around Aftrica for a number of episodes but doing nothing that move the plot forward.

One possiblity for a Steampunk films is the Roleplaying Game Space 1889. In 2005, there were four audio drama produced. What if instead of producing a Audio drama, animated films were produced?

Absolutely loved Space: 1889 and there was also Castle Falkenstein which was a magic included steampunk RPG. There were quite a few steampunk rpgs, tho some where not set on Earth.

And is so badly done compared to the original series that it a insult.
How could a movie so badly treat the original material?
Watch the original series.

I remember Castle Falkenstien, and even read the two novel that were printed. A third on was suppose to be published but the author die before finishing the novel. The problem I have with Falkenstien is it seem more interested in the magic side than the Tech side.

P. S. The original "DUNE" - the David Lynch version - had quite a bit of Steampunk in it, especially the sequences on Geidi Prime.

What Steampunk Books should be made into Movies?
I was thinking The Difference Engine
Scott Westerfeld Leviathan
and Cheries Priest Boneshaker series

[Kalvan]

Well, we already had a steampunk TV Show. The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.

Not half bad.

[Smokey Jalapeño]

Does anyone think a couple of Johnny Depp's gadgets in Sleepy Hollow lent themselves to a steam punk vibe?

A tv series set after "War of the Worlds" novel not the radio show the 50's movie and most definately not the Tom Cruise hash up.

Retrofitting Martian tech with late 19th century steam/electrical power would handwave some of the more outlandish stuff.

Think Torchwood meets Downton Abbey the newly discovered heir to titled estate arrives from the colonies to take up the title as Britain and the Empire rebuilds after the Martian attack.

[ComradeHuxley]

There is also "The Amazing Screw on Head". An animated series that had potential but never got beyond the pilot episode.

By 1868, they are common place and Serenity would be a Zepplin in the wild west. Hey it's Hollywood, it doesn't have to be the best POD ever, just one that John Q. Audience would believe.

And make our heroes Slavocrat Sympathizers, Yay!

There is a good comic series called Scarlett Traces by Ian Edginton. It take place in a Britian after the Invasion where the martain Tech is being used by Human. The Tech need an oil from the Red Weed so they now have fields of red Weed growing in Britain. The first series ends with Earth space ship launching to Mars to attack the Martains.
There is a second series of comic but I have not read them yet.

Also there is a animated movie called War of the World Goliath that will be coming out. It take place in the early 20th century on a world were the Martian invaded and then attack a second time. Here is the Clip on Youtube
