Books that you would like to see made into a film?

Shantaram

Dark Tower series.

I've been looking forward to this for years. You know about the saga, right? Johnny Depp with the film rights; Mira Nair signed on as director and ready to start production; the Hollywood writers' strike; filming canceled; everyone wondering since then whether it will get made......

A book called Deciet it was a great experience reading it. But I've got my own books I wrote and I would love to see them made. But isn't that all our intentions?

Yeah, Mira Nair of the Salaam Bombay fame. Supposedly the movie is allready in production.
Deepa Mehta would have been a better choice for director. Johnny Depp can be anyone but personaly I would have preffered to see someone more Anglo looking in the role.
Among other things that makes this book a great read is the Aussie bandit's cultural clash and assimilation into Indian society. Johnny Depp can pass off as Indian, but that's not the point.

Anything by Yasmine Gailnorn. Mostly the Indigo Court series.

Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan

Think LOTR type film

I would also like to see them finish the Left Behind series but have a real budget

Wow and 10 years later and we got the Chronicles of Narnia and The Hobbit

I wanna see a big budget Animorphs film. Loved the books when I was young and with the flood of young adult books being made into movies, I think it would do well.

No way! I love that movie. It's hilariously stupid!

Those movies could be amazing with a real budget! I would really like to see that as well, just reboot the whole thing.

I think No Lesser Plea could make a great movie, but I worry that they would cut too much out for the adaptation.

In the 10 Ring: Gunslinger45's reviews

Necroscope series by Brian Lumley. There was talk of Glenn Hetrick writing and directing a movie adaptation, but whether that comes off remains to be seen.

Id like to see every single Discworld Novel made into a film series, that would be glorious

Many years ago, I read a book called THE FRONTRUNNER, which was about a gay high school track coach who falls in love with one of the runners on his team. There was brief talk that it was going to be made into a film for awhile and that Paul Newman had been approached to play the coach, but the film never came to fruition. It was a wonderful book and I still think it would be a great movie.

I agree this would be exciting. I am pleased that Ernest Clines Ready Player One has just been purchased by Warner Bros. Though the book makes references to many films from the past which are not owned by WB e.g WarGames and some others.

So sadly they will be making lots off changes and will probally destroy it.

Ready Player One is a Film/Game nerds wet dream.

I'd also like to see a lot more Cthulhu Mythos-related stuff... not just Lovecraft's stories. There have been quite a few other authors who have contributed stories to the Mythos.
