Rjoyadet Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 List some books you have read that you would like to see made into film. When I say film I do not mean a live action theatrical release. It could be a mini-series, web series, animated series, t.v. show or direct to dvd release. They also do not have to be SF, it could be any genre Rocket Ship Galileo- No real reason other than the fact that I want to see more adventure in the tradition of Iron Sky. Direct to dvd release At the Back of the North Wind - One of the most underrated Victorian fantasy writers. Anyone who reads the work of George Macdonald can see how he influenced Narnia, Middle Earth, and Madeline L'engles universe. So far the best adaptation is an audio drama by Focus on the Family (Yes that Focus on the Family). So I would like to see how another company would interpret it. I am thinking a mini-series by A&E.

Molly Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 American Gods is my number one, as an HBO series. I think Anansi Boys would actually work better though. "The Night Circus" by Erin Morgenstern would be a great movie done in the style of Baz Lurhman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 I wouldn't mind a decent adaptation of The Dresden Files. HBO if they go series or as a R-rated summer film. Honestly, there are more novels I hope never get an adaptation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Know Who Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 These might be better served through HBO or Masterpiece, but: -The Lonesome Dove tetralogy, by Larry McMurtry- All four have been on the small screen and the Lonesome Dove miniseries even had Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones as the two main characters (along with other big names like Danny Glover, Chris Cooper, Steve Buscemi, and Diane Lane), but I'd like to see it done today with a +$100 million budget for each film. -His Dark Materials- Without blunting the critique of religion, if possible. ...o, wait--did you just mean science-fiction books?

Rjoyadet Posted April 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 No, not at all. I was trying to say any genre. Not just SF and fantasy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjoyadet Posted June 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 One book series I would like to see only one movie adaptation would be the Stainless Steel Rat series. All the books I have read seem to be the same. Jimi DiGriz is the greatest criminal in the galaxy. During a heist or a con he finds an example of corruption, his conscience gets the best of him and he becomes a Robin Hood figure being someone who fights for the oppressed. I would like to see it as a anime, but that may be because they already have him in the form of Lupin the 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
