Wheel of Time! (by Robert Jordan)

If this movie were to preserve all the intricacies and subplots from the books it would be by far the most monumental movie ever made.. Working out some numbers based on LotR, you get: hundreds of actors, thousands of speaking roles, dozens of hours long, billions of $$ to make, decades to film and edit, and being so huge, it would be incredibly hard not to end up with a truly bad result.
But, if it can be done, and is done with quality.. it would be awesome.

Then again, I'm a hopeless WoT fan....

I personally think Born Confused (by Tanuja Desai Hidier ) should be made into a movie. It's such a brilliant story, and could be done really well.

Definitely agree with that! I adore the Bloody Jack series - and, I'm a huge lover of anything to do with that time period and pirates and what have you, so I would definitely adore a movie regarding pirates.

I also agree that Artemis Fowl would make an excellent movie, and the same with Tamora Pierce's books. Thief Lord, yes, I agree with that too! *laughs* I just keep on seeing the books I would love as movies...

The Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud's pretty good too, though I don't know how well it would translate on screen... I'm glad Eragon is being made into a movie; I just hope they do it well! His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman are wonderful, too.

Hmmm...

Books which I'd like to see as movies:

The Darren Shan Legacy by Darren Shan
Simply amazing! It would probably be 12A to 15, but if it had the proper crew & cast - simply amazing!

Lord Loss by Darren Shan
Another one of Darren Shan's masterpieces! :)

The Twits by Roul Daul
It would be a great comdey for small children!

The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents by Terry Prachett
*sniff* I cried when Maurice supposedly died :P
Anyway, I'd love to see how they would do Maurice - and the mice of course! Or the rats :blink: *forgets if they were mice or rats*

Wow! All of those would be real good, specially darren shan. But I don't think that [rachets eccentric charm would be caught well in a movie, I think it would ruin it a bit. BUt even so, I would like to see Wee Free Men as a movie.

Definitely agree with all of you on The Hobbit, and I think it would be best of Peter Jackson did it, since he's obviously concerned about keeping as much of the material in the books as possible in a film.

Stephen King's The Dark Tower series absolutely screams to be made into a series of movies, if any of you have read it, and I think Viggo would make the perfect Roland.

R.A. Salvatore's Dark Elf Trilogy and Icewind Dale trilogy. It always seemed to me that the Icewind Dale trilogy could be a post-LOTR continuation of sorts. I know the dark elves look far different from the way Tolkien imagined them, but it would still be cool!

Edgar Rice Burroughs' Mars series, though it has something like fifteen to twenty books, would be a good movie series to make.

A movie version of T.H. White's The Once and Future King (Marion Zimmer Bradley's The Mists of Avalon was basically a flipside of this from the women's point of view) would be great!

I definitely agree that Mists of Avalon should be remade...I'm sorry, but Anjelica Huston does NOT belong in that movie.

You know, I had a lot of suggestions while I was reading this thread, and now I can't think of a single one....um....I also agree about A Great and Terrible Beauty and Rebel Angels, and about the Lemony Snicket series.

1984 by Orwell would be good...It would show what our govts could be like in the future.

It already has been... Three times. A new version is due in 2007. :)

The Sea of Trolls by Nancy Farmer, Cell by Stephen King (In production! YAY!), The Eagle of the Ninth series by Rosemary Sutcliff, Tad Williams' Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn trilogy, King of Shadows by Susan Cooper remake Ray Bradbury's Farenheit 451... and so many more.

The Bartimaeus Trilogy, and His Dark Materials are absolutely amazing books, but I think that it would be impossible to do them justice on screen.
