Scifi/Fantasy Book You'd like to be turned into a movie

The problem with putting a story into a different media has always been the compatability. Some stories in books just can't be interpreted as movies. I think that the best way is for the author to be on the set. Obviously, this can't always happen. Anyone who has seen a book based on a movie or a movie based on a book, will know what I mean.

I would love to see The Diary of Conrad Stargard done as a series of movies.

Also Hammer's Slammers by David Drake

Anything by david gemmell, preferably First Chronicles of druss the legend or Midnight Falcon. Brian Lumleys Necroscope and Orson Scott Card's Homecomig series. Can I just say that the Ender's Game film isn't going to be able to adequately reproduce the book and because of this I think they shouldn't do it. The book is way too good to be spoiled by a duff movie.

Issac Asimov --- > Foundation series, The first book isn't that
good, but the rest are great!

Issac Asimov ---> Space ranger series. I've only read two, and
don't know how many there are, but they deal
with solving crimes so it might appeal to a wider
audience.

Arthur C.Clarke-> Rama series, need I say more?!?

Arthur C.Clarke-> I would also like to see the rest of the space
odysey books turned into films after the
success of 2001 and 2010.

 

3001 would be the coolest movie, who needs 2063?

 

what did 3001 have that 2063 didn't?

The sum is always better than its parts. Surely we should make a movie out of the whole series?

2063 never stuck with me like 3001 did. That's just my opinion, though.

 

well...

Ender's Game would be really sweet, but I think I'd be too protective of the story to actually advocate the making of a movie...

Divergence would be cool. And I agree that Neuromancer would be perfect for film.

 

John Norman's "Gor" stories. It shows the proper relationship between men and women.

 

This would make a good movie

"The Vang : The Military Form" its an old book, probably out of print. But the omniparasites in the book, make Aliens look like creampuffs.

 

Ender's Game!!!

The only problem with Ender's Game would be the Peter and Valentine plan, because it'll be boring, watching 2 kids sit in front of the computer. But I really want to see the battles in zero-gravity! That would be so awesome!

Or, stuff by Isaac Asimov! But again, it would be a talking film mostly...Especially the Foundation Series. And they've already put one of Asimov's books into the theatres: The Bicentennial Man, with Robin Williams.

OH OH! I've got it! Nightfall would make a great movie, and it's by Isaac Asimov! Except, they should use people, not aliens, so it'd be more believable.

 

Ender's Game would need SO many child actors. Can you imagine the horror or that many children with important lines and characters? Goo.

But man, zero-gravity battles (if done right which I'm also skeptical about) would be sweet.

 

I got one for ya! how about "Everything you ever wanted to know about Sex but were afraid to ask"! he he he....Thats a fantasy book.

 

Is it fantasy because you'll never get any?

 

Ouch, Deena. I think you may be the most hurtful, immature person to ever post on SciForums.

Let's get hitched.

 

Armor would be a good one.

 

Yes! The horror of child actors! Including the fact that Ender was 6 (?) at the time of recruitment.

Like in Star Wars: Episode 1...did they use horse tranquilizers on that kid or what? I'm a fan of Star Wars, but jeez!

Talk about expressionless; a gravestone would have been a soccer riot and a barrel of monkeys compared to him.

I'm sceptical about the null-grav scenes too...wires would ruin it, and The Vomit Comet might not work so well with young children...

They'd probably be able to build the set in space by the time they start production. In an article Card said that it would be a good deal of time before they make a movie but they're definitely going to do it. Eventually. Sooner or later.
