Frezik Basically Outdated Stereo Equiptment	Posted - 2007.12.26 22:40:00 - [31] Originally by: Zaerlorth Maelkor The sci fi series by Isaac Asimov. Forgot what it's called. Foundation? Empire? Robots (already did this one, poorly)? Foundation has too large a scope for a movie, IMHO (which is the same problem with Frank Herbert's Dune). Haven't read Empire yet. Picking another Robot story and starting a script from scratch with a writer who actually knows about the original story ("I, Robot" was built from an existing script before the title was optioned) might work.
Toby jr	Posted - 2007.12.26 23:01:00 - [32] Originally by: Zaerlorth Maelkor The sci fi series by Isaac Asimov. Forgot what it's called. And the Sword of Truth series already being made into a series i think on the sci-fi channel. to be honst they couldnt make it into a movie without taking a lot of the book out. also making it into a miniseries on a local cable station and not on HBO or some premium channel they will have to dull down or leave out some important parts. example kahlan riding naked on a horse with thousands of naked men into battle i dont think will make it onto a local cable station in the western world. Quote: Sam Raimi, best known as the director of the hugely successful SPIDER-MAN and SPIDER-MAN II films, and his producing partner Joshua Donen, have optioned film rights for Terry GoodkindÆs enormously popular bestselling SWORD OF TRUTH adventure series, published by Tor Books. Linkage ___ How can it be wrong to use my victims as fuel when, it feels so right.
Rawr Cristina Caldari Cult of Rawr	Posted - 2007.12.26 23:24:00 - [33] Half Life... ...but only if Gordon is still mute, which would make it extremely hard to pull off
Danton Marcellus Nebula Rasa Holdings	Posted - 2007.12.27 01:06:00 - [34] Originally by: Sereifex Daku I wanna see a warhammer 40k film. Completely computer animated the whole way throug, of course. Close enough. Should/would/could have, HAVE you chav! Also Known As
Sister Impotentata Elite Angels Of Death	Posted - 2007.12.27 01:23:00 - [35] Originally by: Frezik Foundation is just too slow for a movie, As they say, FIXED. Robot, done properly, is just too smart for a Hollywood audience. Robot should be an exploration in logic. ----- TANSTAAFL Originally by: Psycho John Petrucci If there's any point where you feel it's too difficult, then just stop. Because you just, you don't have it, you're just not good.
Sniper Wolf18	Posted - 2007.12.27 02:49:00 - [36] Metal Gear Solid, the movie, though with that said, the games themselves are practically movies, and i honestly dont know how theyre going to put the suspense and storyline with a movie, but the movie DEFINITELY has to be CGI the whole way through. On the subject of artemis fowl the movie, i dont know how theyre going to make a good movie out of that book, NOTHING could compare to the book itsself, as the book was totally pwn in the first place!
Ademaro Imre Caldari Eye of God	Posted - 2007.12.27 03:40:00 - [37] Rogue Warrior, from the book.
Gamer4liff Caldari Metalworks THE INTERSTELLAR FOUNDRY	Posted - 2007.12.27 03:41:00 - [38] Manos: hands of fate 2
Ademaro Imre Caldari Eye of God	Posted - 2007.12.27 03:43:00 - [39] Originally by: Gamer4liff Manos: hands of fate 2 That should be a sequel, the sequel being Mystery Science Theatre 3000: Manos Hand of Fate 2
Don ZOLA Caldari Omniscient Order	Posted - 2007.12.27 10:58:00 - [40] movie that most definately needs to be made is "Jenna does ZOLA" with both me and her in lead acts (Jenna Jameson and myself :) the book is not existing yet, and i think profanity filter would filter out short scenario which i would give you here. to cut the long story short, my current fiancee would be with us in movie aswell and in the end i would marry one of them but we (all 3) would live together happily after that... it would be action movie ofc, really lots of action :D
Meiyang Lee Gallente Azteca Transportation Unlimited Gunboat Diplomacy	Posted - 2007.12.27 11:26:00 - [41] Edited by: Meiyang Lee on 27/12/2007 11:27:07 i'd love to see a series of movies done for the ColdFire Trilogy by C.S. Friedman. Dark story, great characters, amazing setting. Now all it needs is a director capable of doing the books justice.
Arcticblue2 Gallente Nordic Freelancers inc	Posted - 2007.12.27 16:44:00 - [42] I would love to see a movie of Tom Clancy's "Dept of honor" and "Executive orders" ... I remember I did read Executive orders and loved it, did not realise it at first that it was the second book and that you really should read Dept of honor first Anyway two great books that I would love to see in a movie or mini-series. ---------------------------------------------- "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things." 1 cor.
AncientGuardian Gallente Intaki Liberation Front	Posted - 2007.12.27 19:56:00 - [43] Eon it was one the best (older) scifi books i have read. the sequel to it was nice too Quote: 'Last night I played a blank tape at full blast. The mime next door went nuts' Quote: If I ever saw an amputee getting hanged, I would start yelling out letters.
Rhatar Khurin Minmatar Sten Industries	Posted - 2007.12.27 20:43:00 - [44] Hostel: The musical _
Xauxau Caldari	Posted - 2007.12.27 22:00:00 - [45] From Games: Knights of the Old Republic Baldur's Gate Mass Effect Morrowind and/or Oblivion From Books: Master of Rome and/or The Grass Crown by by Colleen McCullough Island in the Sea of Time by S.Stirling Children of Hurin by you know who Pushing Ice, Chasm City, or just about any other novel by Alastair Reynolds And, especially for us immortal-via-cloning pod pilots, Altered Carbon, and every other "Takashi Kovacs" novel by Richard Morgan. The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Heinlein. All the above are excellent reads, BTW. From Comics: "Captain America" but would require a great, not merely good, script. For that matter "Captain Britain" under the same circumstances. "Supreme Power" by J. Michael Straczynski From TV: Samurai Jack Jack deserves to get home. Less excellent stuff that would probably make OK films: All the "Dune" prequel novels by Brian Herbert & Paul Anderson. Laughable as literature when compared to Frank Herbert's original Dune Trilogy, but read like decent Hollywood scripts. "Futurama" "Boondocks" "Venture Brothers" Old Man's War by Scalzi Stuff that should not be (not have been) made into a movie, but probably will be someday (again): "Green Lantern" Anything with the word "Ender" or "Hegemon" in the title. ANYTHING ever written by Aasimov Stranger in a Strange Land by Heinlein Any book with a title that contains a pun involving the word "Myth" Any book by Ayn Rand "Guns of the South" By H. Turtledove or any of its bastard progeny. Stories butchered by Hollywood, that damn well deserve to be done right: Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein.
Vladimir Ilych Gradient Electus Matari	Posted - 2007.12.27 22:10:00 - [46] Neuromancer Count Zero Mona Lisa Overdrive
Tarquin Tarquinius Gallente Escorts of Eve	Posted - 2007.12.28 00:22:00 - [47] Originally by: Xauxau Master of Rome and/or The Grass Crown by by Colleen McCullough I just picked up the seventh installment in that series. Some of the best novels I've ever read in that series. If they started with the Grass Crown it could work, since most people don't know the story of Sulla and Marius that well. It would work better as a series though. (a prequal to HBO's Rome) ------ Any factual errors or mistakes in spelling and grammar should be attributed solely to me and not my nation of origin.
Sister Impotentata Elite Angels Of Death	Posted - 2007.12.28 00:31:00 - [48] Originally by: Xauxau The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Heinlein. I would love to see Mistress as a movie. Even more I would like to be involved in production, so they don't screw it up. Mistress has just enough action, just enough science, and just enough smut. The computer "issues" are outdated, but easily translatable. This is Heinlein's best work. But every time I've reread it since 9/11 I can't help but see the "terrorist" parallels. Admittedly there are differences between modern "terrorism" and the Loonie action, but exploring the concepts would be what makes Mistress an excellent film. Originally by: Xauxau Stranger in a Strange Land by Heinlein Much as I'd like to see it, it just couldn't be done. There's too much awkward sensuality to appeal to the modern moviegoer. The Fosterites are very much alive (and in power!) here and it just wouldn't work. Shame. Originally by: Xauxau Any book by Ayn Rand No. Please no. Rand takes all the good points of Heinlein and makes them bitter and dispalatable. I almost wish I were back in high school, so I could write a paper about how Rand is the prototypical emo ***. Originally by:** Xauxau Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein. Yes, please yes. It's not an action story. It's nationalistic propaganda, with some utopian philosophical examinations thrown in. We need more of this, if only to be able to recognize same in our enemies. ----- TANSTAAFL My Daddy was a prominent Cap man, my Momma's in the Naval Reserve, when I was young I carried a gun, I wonder how your engines feel!
Surfin's PlunderBunny Minmatar mUfFiN fAcToRy	Posted - 2007.12.28 00:56:00 - [49] Hello Kitty Island Adventure the movie! Originally by: Tarminic Okay, that's it. You are on the KOS list, and you better pray that I don't have access to a locater agent.
Phillis Stein Caldari Serenity Prime	Posted - 2007.12.28 01:28:00 - [50] Surprised no ones mentioned Moorcocks, Elric series, The Sword Chronicles or any of the Eternal Champion books. http://www.pixelopia.co.uk/files/signature.jpg
Raoul Endymion Gallente x13	Posted - 2007.12.28 01:55:00 - [51] William Gibson's Sprawl series (Neuromancer, Mona Lisa Overdrive, Count Zero) Dan Simmons Hyperion Isaac Asimov's Foundation /raoul x13 Website ~ x13 Killboard ~ x13 Recruitment
Nachshon Caldari Gradient Electus Matari	Posted - 2007.12.28 03:40:00 - [52] Michael McCollum's Antares novels (Antares Dawn, Antares Passage, Antares Victory). I do see four potential obstacles: 1. How exactly to explain foldpoints? Probably could be done by modifying the first scene, but the concept is both unusual and essential. 2. First two novels contain one combat scene each (though the second one could easily include a flashback). Third one contains multiple battle scenes, but marketing the first two might be a problem. 3. Space combat in the Antares books is very realistic. Lasers are not visible, distances are vast, and ships travel at appropriate velocities. The sole battle scene in the first book is split into three waves. Each wave is actually firing for about 40 seconds. It could be done, but it would be difficult. 4. The Ryall aliens aren't humanoids. They're like six-legged centauroids. However, some Ryall are major characters (especially Varlan), and their emotions are similar to ours. Their minds work differently, but not that differently. Bringing the Ryall to life will be difficult. Also, has anybody besides myself read these books? ____________________________________ Caldari by birth, Minmatar by citizenship. The True Meaning of Freedom

DgO4 Infinitus Odium The Church.	Posted - 2007.12.28 12:17:00 - [57] Originally by: Sereifex Daku I wanna see a warhammer 40k film. Completely computer animated the whole way throug, of course. YES! We are the pilgrims, Master, We will always go a little farther.....
torswin Silver Snake Enterprise SMASH Alliance	Posted - 2007.12.28 12:25:00 - [58] The Great Adventures of Captain Obvious Famous quotes: Water is wet! -Captain Obvious on water “Someone will breathe today” ~ Captain Obvious on the future “The next US President will be an adult.” ~ Captain Obvious on the future --- Unless explicitly stated, this post does not represent my alliance, corporation, my own, or any other living organism's view.
Gneeznow Minmatar North Eastern Swat Pandemic Legion	Posted - 2007.12.28 20:48:00 - [59] UFO: Enemy Unknown, would make a great series, like the band of brothers series, 10 parts each an hour long or something, would make a cool series i think if it were done by that guy who did sin city or something, done in a dark bleak way like frank miller's movies.
Zyck Gallente KDS Knights Of the Southerncross	Posted - 2007.12.28 21:16:00 - [60] Originally by: Sereifex Daku I wanna see a warhammer 40k film. Completely computer animated the whole way throug, of course. This would make my life.
