Books you would like to see made into movies... - Page 8 - EvBoard

Definitely Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series! Even though they're fairly new books (the first one in the series came out last year), Sarah Ash's Tears of Artamon series would be a great choice. Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow. Hmm... I know there's more, I just can't think of them at the moment.

His Dark Materials by Phillip Pullman, that would pwn

Tiger Lily · 10-17-2004, 06:00 PM

yeh i agree, i think the "his dark materials" trilogy would make great films.

**fearlesst15** · 10-17-2004, 06:19 PM

as soon as the series is finished id say fearless by francine pascal. i remember they were going to make it a tv show on the wb but they didnt stay true to the book at all and rachel leigh cook was going to play gaia.... although 35 or 37 books worth of material would be too much for 1 movie they could tone it down and cut stuff out or make it a two part or 2 part movie. but thats never going to happen

The Rhapsody series by Elizabeth Haydon...if you get rid of the part where this woman has an orgasm in the bathtub, it's an awesome series

But Elizabeth Haydon is very poetic and artistic....It would be a great movie

Oh, I love Robert Jordan. Except I'd be pissed when characters were missing and such.

Here's info on Ender's Game...still in preproduction.

Anywho...how 'bout some Heinlein? To Sail Beyond the Sunset would be nice...or the one I can't remember right now...about the old guy who gets a brain transplant into a younger body...argh!

Oh, now I remember. I Will Fear No Evil was the name of it.

Id like to see ''Myst: The Book of Atrus'', or its sequels turned into a movie. The Myst series is not very popular, save its computer game counterpart, but i think it would be an awsome movie...

The Perks of Being a Wallflower by... *goes to look at book* Steven Chbosky (haha i knew his name was cool). Anyone else read it? I would imagine it to be a sort of drama/comedy. Since it is sort of a series of diary entries, it would probably be narrated.

Well, for starters I'd like it if somebody did Ella Enchanted properly

Terry Pratchett's books would be awesome, or maybe it'd be better to make like this discworld tv series, focus on each of the books for maybe like three or four eps... Then Jane Austen's Sanditon (well, somebody else finished it but it was still good). Then better adaptations of Jurassic Park and Lost World, those books are actually pretty good, you'd just need to add some emotion in them. Danger Girl the comic book might make a kick ass movie too. Then there's this book, I think it's called Lives of the Monster Dogs or something, it was cool but it might be kinda hard to make...

Discworld.. Anne Rice's Vamp Chronicles but done correctly.. Hobbit.. Silmarillion.. BATMAN: Nightfall (Don't make Bane such a pussy), Marvel's ONSLAUGHT - So many superhero cameos
