Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Which books would make great movies or tv series's .... I have always wanted to see an epic telling of "War of the worlds" staying true to the book, set in 1800's England etc. Also the sequel to it which was also good although a recent addition but carrying on in the timeline of 1800's with same main character etc but some additions like Churchill and Sherlock Holmes no less! Also "A Brave new world" would make a great movie imo, i can imagine it would be epic if done right. A few others are "The city and the stars" and "Rendezvous with Rama" by Arthur C Clarke. Another book/movie maybe spread over 2/3 is "Shantaram".... that is an epic tale waiting to be made into a movie for sure! Maybe even "Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance" would make a great movie also! So many possiblities with that and it could make an epic tv series for sure! Anyway just my thoughts and tbh i am amazed Shantaram and zen haven't been done already tbh - ESP given that hollyweird are stuck for ideas and obsessed with remaking stuff instead of making NEW blockbusters? At the very least hollywood, make a TRUE to book version of War of the Worlds and its sequel ffs - sick of modern interpretations etc, yeah tom cruise one wasnt bad imo but do the PROPER ONE - please ^^ written in 1897 and is BADASS if you have never read it!

"M for mischeif" sounds good.... just reminded me of a book called "The faraway tree" by Enid blyton - thanks for that!, you just gave me some sweet childhood memories i had totally forgotten about at least 40 yrs ago I will add both to the list, c'mon hollywood, give us some old classic magical tales in movies!! |

Interestingly "rendezvous with Rama" has already been selected for a movie and no other than Morgan Freeman wants this movie made and the lead role - " Freeman reaffirmed, " We ARE going to make that movie." In response to a plea to "make that come out sooner rather than later", Freeman reiterated that difficulty in authoring a high quality script is the primary barrier for the film, stating "... the only task you have that's really really hard in making movies, harder than getting money, is getting a script ... a good script". he better crack on imo [ link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73630762 She was an awesome author for sure my friend - which books in particular? Mills and boon? were they a romance novel publisher? May be some good stuff in there also esp with some artistic licence. |

WOW so i just found that Sam Mendes - "American Beauty, Road to Perdition, Skyfall" is doing the movie adaptation of the Faraway tree serires by Enid Blyton. I guess these will be the next few yrs versions of harry potter etc and classic kids books so should be awesome! I will thoroughly enjoy watching these gems from my bookworm childhood with my daughter Thanks GAWD for sending me off on that memory and the resulting movies to look forward too Last Edited by curry nosher on 08/03/2017 06:15 AM |

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. Shoot, I'd be happy with any of Heinlein's novels being made. Starship Troopers doesn't count. And I think that Earth Abides would be a great movie if done right. |

My autobiography and the lost symbol by Dan brown. I know they didn't make the movies in chronological order but it seems odd they skipped that one, maybe because it was set in Washington?
