As it says in the title, what's the one licensed property you hope becomes a videogame? And who's the developer you want to make it? I have two:
Seven Samurai by KOEI Tecmo - I imagine this adaptation of Akira Kurosawa's legendary film to be a third person hack n' slash game much in the vein KOEI's Dynasty Warriors series. Except there won't be an endless stream of enemies flooding the screen, but as in the film, just 40 bandits to kill. And with that combat is much more difficult, with a melee system more akin to Ubisoft's From Honor. Add to that you have to command a group of farmers you've organized into a militia to defend their village, which is a large open area that you have to defend just like in the film. With that comes building defenses such as walls, flooded moats and others using what limited resources you have. There would also be limited RTS controls much like the Kingdom Under Fire games to command so strategy is key. Plan poorly and it's permadeath for each one of the samurai just like in the film.
Captain Alatriste by Rockstar Games - From cowboys to swashbucklers, this adaptation of the Arturo Perez Reverte novels wouldn't be much of a stretch for Rockstar, as it deals with a morally grey antihero in a setting ripe with intrigue and violence. They can make 17th century Madrid an open world full of unsavoury tasks for the title character to undertake. While he does this he encounters various characters like a typical Rockstar title ranging from lowly cutthroats, scheming nobles, and worst of all, fanatics of the Spanish Inquisition. Rockstar would have to change their focus from shooting to melee combat though, but I think they could pull it off.
