Are there any books you would like to be made into a TV show or movie ? Me, I'd like to see... Cell-Stephen King Any older Kay Scarpetta books by Cornwell Any Brian Keene zombie series books..The Rising, City of the Dead or Dead Sea |

|

The Mediator series by Meg Cabot Water for Elephants |
|||
|
|||
The Dim Sum of All Things by Kim Wong Keltner Jemima J Stephanie Plum series (are they already doing it?) |
|||
|
|||
I would like to see The Black Tulip by Dumas done by the director of Atonement. I second Stephanie Plum...I wonder who they would get to play Stephanie? |
|||
|

I'd like to see a really well done miniseries of Devil in the White City, a movie of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (maybe directed by Guillermo del Toro) a movie of The Thirteenth Tale and a really well done, appropriately long miniseries of Harry Potter that actually includes some of the awesome detail. |
|||
|
|||
I'd like to see: The Brief History of the Dead Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close and Life of Pi I second the vote for Guillermo Del Toro directing -- I bet he could do Life of Pi.

I'm waiting on Brad Thor's books to hit the big screen. It's already in the works although I don't think Brad has mentioned which novel. Cormac McCarthy's 'The Road' will be out in theaters soon. That's going to be one disturbing movie to watch. Last Edited on: 10/20/08 10:15 PM ET - Total times edited: 1 |

The Enchanted series. |
|||
|
|||
Eric Flint's 1812 S M Stirling's Peshawar Lancers, Conquistador, the Dies the Fire Trilogy, and the Island in the Sea of Time series. They would all need to be miniseries Monica Dickens' Kate and Emma |
|||
|
|||
I think All About Evie could be done into a TV series. I'd watch it. |
|||
|
|||
I second the Brian Keene books...I love zombies. |
|||
|
|||
All of terry Pratchett's Discworld |
|||
|
|||
Sara- there's a movie of Cell coming in 2009, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0775440/ |

Shows how much I know about Stephen King...I thought you meant this movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0209958/ Anyway, I have been awaiting the Ender's Game movie for almost nine years now...I'd like to see that made. I also think most of Robert Heinlein's books would make good movies. The only one I know of, Puppet Masters, could have been worse and could have been better.

Great--I should wish for more stuff ! Thats awesome |
|||
|

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card The Dark Tower (whole series) by Stephen King
|
|||
|
|||
I think the President's Daughter books by Ellen Emerson White could make a really good TV show. |
|||
|
|||
Stephanie Plum series (are they already doing it?) It's supposedly been "in the works" for years now. There's a PBS thread discussing casting located here. :-) |
|||
|
|||
Outlander series by Gabaldon |
|||
|
|||
Matt C, I think RLH didn't want movies made. ANd they absolutely trashed Starship Troopers |
|||
|
|||
Several of the books I think would make good movies are already in the process of becoming them: Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman (set for 2009 right now, I think) Ranger's Apprentice Series by John Flanagan Song of Ice and Fire Series by George R.R. Martin (a script for an HBO pilot is written, but I don't think it has been finalized yet and it wouldn't be seen for a few more years) One book I would really like to see in film, was going to be a film but then it bottomed out is Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchet. I also agree with those who have said Ender's Game, but I wonder how they would find enough kids to play those serious roles. Maybe an animated movie would work better--as long as they did it proper, not Disney.

Water for Elephants is already going to be a movie! I'm pretty excited. I knew as I was first reading it that it would work great on film, it just seemed so cinematic, and lo and behold!

Matt C, I think RAH didn't want movies made. And they absolutely trashed Starship Troopers I almost forgot about Starship Troopers...that movie didn't have anything to do with the book, really. Puppet Masters wasn't that bad, though. |

I'd like to see Ted Dekker's Black, Red & White (3 books) made into films Also, Randy alcorn's Safely Home would be an awesome movie |
