I’d love the Wayfarer’s series to be a collection of short TV shows. They could do like 6 hour long episodes per book. It would great

Its not a series, just a standalone book but I would love to see a stop motion movie of the magnum opus. It’s a book that was written by the makers of a stop motion short called the maker. I would love to see what they could do with a proper budget

dewritoninja ,

youtu.be/YDXOioU_OKM?feature=shared here’s the short that inspired the book

The Commonwealth Saga (Pandora’s Star and Judas Unchained) by Peter F. Hamilton would make a great serialized TV drama.

    I absolutely hated the Thomas Covenant novels. I hated the character, and I hated the plot devices. But I read them at a point in my life before I learned that you could put down books you didn’t like; that you didn’t have to finish something you started.

    However: I do think they’d make a great miniseries. His internal, eternally whining self-pity would be minimized, making the character less loathsome. I mean, we’re supposed to hate the character, but Donaldson sandblasted that soup cracker, leaving a hollow characature it was impossible to sympathize with on any level. In the media format translation process of distilling to imagery, Covenant might, like the anti-heros on The Boys, become less repellant. And the premise is interesting. It’s become a trite trope, but it was more novel when it was introduced, and I think it’d fit the TV format well. I’d watch it.

    Me too - I was so glad when I finished the first book, knowing I would never have to read another line of his whining, snivelling, excuse for a protagonist ever again.

    Or just everything around Agent Pendergast

    I really don’t know about this one. I love the books, and with their success they’ve genome a bit more compatible with a screen adaptation, but a lot of it, and especially the first one, is a lot of internal monologue. In addition, the space physics and combat are amazing, but don’t translate into visuals easily either. Like I said, love the story, and pains me to say it. Some stories are just not made for the screen, and I think this is one.

    The Malazan Book of the Fallen, by Steven Erikson.

    GONE, really enjoyed that as a kid and when they then started making hunger game movies and everyone seemed to be following the formula I think it would’ve worked a treat around that time. It’s not that similar to those however it’s more supernatural mystery lord of the flies, but it would’ve felt like it belonged alongside the lines of hunger games and maze runner.

    On another note the Jack Tanner books, especially Odin Mission would make great films or short series per book. Really enjoyed the pseudo retelling of world war 2 with bits of fiction mixed in.

    Not a book, but I would love to see a cinematic adaptation of “East of West”. The universe is beautifully drawn.

    Angry ghosts

    Ender’s Game as season 1, and then Speaker For the Dead as seasons 2-3 (with a reworked ending rather than drawing from Xenocide).

    demodawg ,

    Dungeon Crawler Carl.

    The Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zealazny is ripe for CGI heavy HBO treatment. I think it would be very well received at this day and age.
