I would love to see a movie or miniseries based on the “Bas-Lag” novels by China Mieville, which are “Perdido Street Station”, “The Scar”, and “Iron Council”

I think the best description of these books would be “Gritty Steampunk Fantasy” with a very generous dose of Weird. The writing is very descriptive, even when you really would rather not know about what’s being described.

Some things that are mentioned in these three books:

  • Mosquito people. The males are quiet and studious, the females are strong, dangerous, and driven mad by hunger
  • Punishment factories. Criminals are sentenced to “Remaking”. The Remade are people who have had either machinery or animal parts grafted onto them. Most Remakings are cruel and useless.
  • Smokestone. Rock that will change unpredictably into smoke - and back into stone.
  • Frog people who can make water hold a shape for a short time. A longshoreman’s strike in one of the books involved a bunch of these guys forming a large gap in a river.
  • Sentient steam powered constructs

*Drugs that let you experience other people’s dreams.

There is a lot I have to leave out due to spoilers, but it would be an awesome series.

This happened for me with wheel of Time. Be careful what you wish for.

I would watch a well made series based on the Parker novels by Richard Stark.

Bolo. They’d have to do it in the *Love, Death, and Robots" format, since they’re all short stories and no recurring characters, but it’d be great like that.

The Riftwar Cycle from Feist. Each series is a season. And even side-series, like The Empire trilogy.

It seemed like it was finally going to happen - someone even acquired the rights, after Feist knocked back offers over and over due to them not being a “good fit”.

But, a year later, it fell apart.

Nothing. I don’t trust them to not try and make their own “vision” and fuck it up.

PonyOfWar ,

I don’t really get that mentality. If the show is bad, the books are still just as good and you’ll have lost nothing except maybe some wasted time.

lightnsfw ,

If the show is bad my memories of that thing will be forever tainted. I’d rather they not be.

  • The Illuminae Files by Jay Kristoff and Aime Kaufman
  • Scythe trilogy by Neal Shusterman

Alastair Reynolds “Revelation Space” universe.

They’d only screw it up though.

CADmonkey ,

The visuals would be amazing. I’d also like to see a depiction of the scene in the beginning of “Revelation Space” where Ilia gets pushed into a kilometers-high elevator shaft, and she belatedly remembers that she can just stop the ship accelerating to save herself.

The name of the wind.

A Name of the Wind adaptation would either be incredible or fucking awful, no in between.

Tunnels hands down

CitizenKong ,

Mistborn by Brandan Sanderson.

Xyre ,

If done right, he could probably pull off the entire Cosmere.

K3zi4 ,

Give me animated cosmere over films any day, it’s so expansive and only growing. A well done animated series would be incredible and easy to maintain.

Algaroth ,

A game of thrones style epic based on the Battletech universe. It’s been around since the 80s and there is a ton of books and lore to build from.

deadh34d ,

Fuckin this. I’ve been dreaming of a Warrior trilogy adaptation for years.
