hmm,
there's plenty i'd like to see re-done correctly.

like i am legend, good god that sucked and missed that point of the book.

cormac mccarthy's the road would be a pretty awesome film i think.
maybe life of pi too.

Mortal Engines.
Now that would be epic, if done by someone good.

bookas which are made into movies always seem to miss the point of the book or they do it well but forget all the characters story

like the earthsea mini series
the said his use name was ged and his true name was sparrowhawk when it was other way round

omegaman was based on the book too,
the book's called i am legend and is by richard matherson.
you should really check it out if you're interested, a true classic.

tad williams does fantasy doesn't he?, i'm actually suprised more of that stuff hasn't been picked up since lord of the rings.
david eddings stuff like belgarath the sorcerer or the rift war trilogy by ...eh i can't remember,
are prime for a good fantasy movie.

i'd like to see the forever war actually, that'd be some incredible sci-fi

Omega man, and i am legend are both adapted from the same book (called "I am legend" )

David Eddings Doesn't have jack on Tad Williams.

i've never read any tad williams,
i avoid most fantasy stuff, since to be fair its mostly s**te, but some gets recommended to me and it can be great stuff,
i'll check out tad williams, any book in particular?

dune really deserves a good film made, the old one has a pretty huge cult following though, i don't see it.

hmm,
orson scott card, enders game would make an awesome film.

yeah read Memory Sorrow and thorn, Tail Chaser's Song, or if you like a more sci fi approach read the Otherland series.


I didn't even think of ender's game that book has to be in my all time top 20. Never read about a harder 5 year old in my life.

i loved those books, too, the sequel, speaker for the dead is a really good book, there's a bunch of others but i havn't read them yet.
oh except the one that tells bean's story, .

its interesting, it runs concurrently with enders game but from his point of view.

i guess i'd be worried it'd be made into too much of a kids film, since the main characters are like age 5 to 13.

ahh yeah but that 5 year old kicks someone to death, twice! Plus I mean you feel for Ender when you read the book, not to mention his older brother...

I read Speaker for the Dead, didn't know they made a book from Bean's point of view, is it lame?
