Which Book Do You Think Should Be Made Into A Movie?

The book that I think should be made into a movie should be, Reliquary, the sequel to Relic, written by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. Relic itself was made into a movie, and I think they should make the sequel.

This is now open to which movie that you have recently seen been based off of a book.

Good choice. I my self think that John Greens Book "Looking for Alaska" should be made into a movie.

The Catcher in The Rye would make an amazing movie but unfortunately J. D. Salinger vowed to never sell the rights of his books to anyone in Hollywood again.

I'm still waiting for a proper WH40K movie to come out.

Anything from Dan Abnett's always good.

Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan.

Every Day by David Levithan, though that wouldn't work very well.

The Zero by Jess Walter. It's trippy and confusing enough to make a weird little indie, but dramatic enough to work as a standard movie.

And its depiction of a thinly veiled version of 9/11 would be Oscar bait.

Though to be fair a good deal of its charm was Walter's writing style, which I would like to incorporate parts of into my own. Also, random trivia: I obtained this book from an English teacher who had a bookshelf she needed to empty out, so she just let us grab books from it. I also took an anthology textbook and Slaughterhouse-Five. Good times...

The Infernal City/Lord of Souls. They could probably be made into one movie. I am a huge Elder Scrolls fan.

This.

Maybe Paper Towns as well.

Ever since I finished reading Manfred, by Lord Byron, right after watching Frozen, I've had the idea of Manfred: The Animated Disney Musical stuck in my head.

I'd like to see the Leviathan trilogy get made into films.

I've actually never read a John Green novel.
I'd love to see them re-make some, such as I Never Promised You A Rose Garden, To Kill A Mockingbird, and Lord Of The Flies. But you know what I'd love especially? Stephen King's Dark Tower series. I would just die.

Nope

What, can't you imagine "Old man! 't is not so difficult to die" as the refrain of a dramatic and catchy musical number, à la "Let it Go"?

I think the book The Roar by Emma Clayton should be made into a movie. The book is face-paced with tons of action packed sequences that always keep you wanting to read more.

Footfall. Because its the best Alien Invasion story ever written.

Isaac Asimov's Foundation series. I once heard that one of the big studios bought the screen rights at one point; I just want them to, you know, actually put those screen rights to some use.

By Talos, so much this.

Also Men At Arms by Terry Pratchett.

I'd like to see Roger Zelazny's Chronicles of Amber on screen - even if just to complain at all the stuff they left out.

Robert Holdstock's Mythago Wood, and the whole Lavondyss Cycle.

The oldest forest in Britain is much larger inside than it seems outside, and its denizens span all generations. There, creatures of myth are reborn as animated vegetation, but it their new form they can be lethal warriors, wolves, or dark elves.

Metro 2033 or 2034 by Dmitri Ghlukhovsky! It would be awsome!

by **GARRETTLANDIA** » Thu May 01, 2014 9:29 am

Wow, all really good choices. So far, David Leviathan and John Green are the favorite authors.

The book that I truly believe should be made into a movie is the first Rangers Apprentice book.

When I first read the four books of the Karazan Quartet I thought that a film should be made. I read them again a few years ago and this did not change my mind.

As I don't think this children's series is particularly well known (even in NZ) the central character is an orphan who is recruited along with some other twelve year olds to enter a game by its creator Q (the game now exists in the same sense that Narnia does). The aim is, initially, to save Q's young daughter with a potion in the game world (which they're not 100% sure even exists outside of the computer games). Naturally, things get a bit more complicated than this and that's where the other three books exist. I would change the ending slightly because I don't like it as much as I do the rest (even though it fits entirely with what is established earlier).

A more viable childhood adaptation would be a Redwall film.

I would also agree with the suggestion of a Men At Arms film. I've liked the television films/miniseries that I have seen of other Discworld books.
