What book would you like to see made into a movie?

[crissie_95]

The Alienist definately, that would make a great film (haven't read the other one yet)

 

[Wandi]

David Feintuch's hope series; MiRABhipmans Hope is like a cross between Hornblower and Starship troopers

I'd really love to see Steve Alten's 'Meg' series made into a Trilogy released in the same year. They would make great actions flicks and if done by the right people *Spielberg* it could easily blow away Jaws.

I'd cast Pat Moritia as Masoa Tanaka just because of the Myagi memories.
Not too sure who I'd cast as Jonas Taylor. It need to be someone who can look to be in their late 30s early 40s in the first film and then be in their late 50s early 60s for the final film.

Read The Angel of Darkness ASAP, if you can find a copy: once you meet Libby Hatch you'll never feel safe again.

 

[Lovely Bride]

I didn't know 'The Lovely Bones' was being made into a film. Will be very interested in how they approach that - it was a fantastic book, but don't know how they will cover the stuff that goes on in the afterlife.

James Herberts - The Fog would be a good one or Clive Barkers Imajica or the Necroscope series by Brian Lumley

 

[jalg_gali]

good thread! welwynrose i agree - the fog by james herbert would be awesome.
also
Prey - Michael Crichton
The Partner - John Grisham
Odd Thomas - Dean Koontz

 

[MaMaBean]

Oh no!!! Sacrilege!!!

'Chuck Palanuick's - Survivour' is the only one I can think off hand...

 

[enfriendemy]

Dune by Frank Herbert - I know it's been done, but it neeRAB to be done properly!

Dark Tower by Stephen King - he has said it will never become a film unless they can guarantee to do it properly, so fingers crossed someone decides to throw a few million at it!

Watch the Dune TV series. I think Frank Herbert's writing is difficult to make into a film.... Its too massive in its scale... and no one is going to sink

 

[Gaga_Gurl]

Must admit that i always am seriously disappointed when i've read the book and then seen the film version after. They never do the books any justice for me sadly...

 

[chickennugget128]

I know what you mean but it does work sometimes, for me, personally LOTR is better than the book.

The Godfather is too.

Captain Corelli was the biggest on screen disappointment for me

 

[Zenkodiak]

Don't know how they'll pull it off but it's being directed by Peter "Lord of the rings" Jackson and is due in 2007

 

[cute b]

"Super-Cannes" by J G Ballard.

I can see Tom Cruise in the lead role and I'd like to see someone like David Fincher directing.

 

[liz v]

i think this has been done, but 1984 by George Orwell

The Da Vinci Code

The Wind Singer Trilogy

 

[firewhisky61]

I've just bought the tv series actually, but haven't got round to watching it yet! Is Children of Dune any good?

I know it's not hugely popular, but with the renewed interest in epics thanks to LOTR you'd think it would have crossed some movie moguls mind to redo Dune.

Lord of the Rings

 

[Abbigoose]

1984 has been filmed twice: an ok version in 1984 with John Hurt and a version in 1956 with Edmond O'Brien, which was apparently such a travesty that Orwell's estate managed to get it withdrawn/suppressed.
The 1956 version used to be on tv quite frequently but since the ban I doubt anyone's seen it in ages.

 

[nhlstar95]

Stephen King's 'Gerald's Game'. It really made me poo myself. QUOTE]

I agree that this book would make a great movie. It was so scary because it was one SK's few books that COULD COME TRUE!!!. Not really about spooks or anything supernatural.

Here's hoping.
