It would take an exceptional director.
Kaor, to Both!
And someone with deep pockets, able to provide the money needed for films about Nicholas van Rijn and Dominic Flandry. Preferably someone who's also a fan of Anderson's stories. Well, we can dream!

I left out that Kirk was an Admiral at the beginning of the first film before reverting to Captain.
A fair number of military people don't -want- promotion to general rank; too much paperwork, not enough hands-on field stuff.
Kaor, Mr. Stirling!
I can see why some Army/Navy officers don't want promotion to general/admiral. But somebody has to take care of the paper work and at least try to think of the Big Picture. And I'm inclined to think the best generals and admirals were those who had field or naval commands at the lower ranks.
