The Chronicles Of Thomas Covenant, The Unbeliever by Stephan Donaldson would be a great series to make into movies. But seeing as there's six books in total, maybe it would have to be two books per movie.

The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe should be out next year:

I heard of this a few years back, that they'd been wanting to make it but couldn't finance it until some rich guy who loved the series decided to donate a bunch of money.

I'd like to see any Jackie Collins book.....just not directed by Aaron Spelling. He directed Hollywood Wives and Lucky, and it appeared that he had never even read the book and that annoys me. The movie should closely follow the book!!!!

Probably a much more faithful version of a Anne Rice novel. Oh yes, Definately Pandora. And they can't screw it up, because I'll just kill them. I'd also like a good faithful adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera. (like that will ever happen).

Definitely, The Vampire Lestat. I love Anne Rice books. I think all the chronicles should be movies. Heehhehee. Well, they already have Interview with the Vampire and Queen of the Damned. I loved both.

I can't think anything else. Aaaacckk! *Goes blank*

Though people transforming into snakes & hawks is amazingly incredible to think of, when you think about how they would make it look in Hollywood - it would turn out to look like the Animorphs most likely. I don't wanna see that book ruined like that. Hopefully if it does get out, there's a phenomenal director out there that could make an amazing movie out of it.

Hell yes. I've recently become a fan of hers last summer because i'm a huge writer myself and when i found out that she got published when she was my age i had to read her stuff, and alas, vampires, what a coincidence that i just happen to love those! Not to mention she grew up right near my town and i know a few people who know her. But yeah, her books would make pretty cool movies, but something tells me when i try to picture them that they're better as books. *shrugs* I guess we'll never know for sure unless it happens.

Hmm...what else...everything i think of has been done...lol.
