Here's one to start the topic off; Boxer Rebellion
Man would that make an excellent epic movie, the chinese are bound to hate it though since they get to play the indians.

I have always loved the scifi book "Enders Game".
But I assume there are a few problems that can ruin the movie. Find a kid that can play Ender convincing + Ender do kill other kids in the book, and if any USA company got the task, I think they would remove that part due to their mssed up "moral" rules. I hope a UK company could take the task, since I honestly think UK actors are much better than the crap hollywood spew out. |

I'd like to see a treatment of Ringworld, but they'll screw it up. I have yet to see an artist's conception that had proper scale/perspective. I did see once some pics from a guy who had rendered it to scale (ten or fifteen years ago, with similarly aged graphics), and the results were surprisingly underwhelming. ----- TANSTAAFL

Ringworl definetly. And the Man-Kzin wars would be great as well. Foundation series would also be great but I doubt it would be made today considering there isn't any action in the books. Although I am sure they will add action sequences just like they did to "I, Robot"

Discworld... not produced by hollywood "let's remove this "death" character from Mort. people dont want to see that in a film" execs with no clue.
HP Lovecraft's "the Call of Cthulhu" and "The Haunter of the Dark" as good quality films.
Charlie Stross' "Atrocity Archives" and "JENNIFER MORGUE" (capslock for book title) would be superb, but I suspect would need a stunning scriptwriter to convey the textual humour.
I'd still like to see a modern film about motorsport, in the vein of of John Frankenheimer's 1966 "Grand Prix", as a petrolhead... possibly a biopic of Senna, or the tragic 1994 season.

They've been talking about this for YEARS. Every time they get close, it just falls through. I really hope they do do it, as it's one of my favorite books, but I doubt we'll see it done, if even to the quality of the book(s).

I think any of Bernard Conrwell's books would make great movies. The Gallow's Theif, Redcoat, Warlord Chronicles, Saxon Stories, or The Grail Quest series. All were awsome.
Steven Pressfields latest book, The Afghan Campaign was really good too.
As for non-historical stuff, Hugh Lauries book The Gun Seller was awsome. I also would like to see a Colony Wars movie series. ------ Any factual errors or mistakes in spelling and grammar should be attributed solely to me and not my nation of origin. |

I'm really disappointed he's writing the screenplay... likely going to be full of the horrific Christian propaganda he drowned almost all of his following books in, I think that period of time in his life when he wrote the base to that series was a general fluke. It's depressing thinking about some of the garbage he's written since then. --------

I've always thought some of the Eve short stories would make good 30 minute episodes.
Foundation would be terrible to make into a film. None of the characters stick around, and there's not much that happens that would keep anyone but a hard sci-fi fan interested. Maybe a series of 6 1-hour features would do the trick (each book has 2 main stories).
The rest of the stuff, I haven't read so I can't really comment on it, but I do have one more suggestion: Deus Ex! How AWESOME would it be to see that made into a film (with some fairly major bits changed obviously)?  --------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm hoping for the "A song of Ice and Fire" series to be made into a movie, but that's probably a bit farfetched because of the length of it all and the amount of political intrigue... it's confusing enough when you can read it and see the characters' thoughts, I can't see how it would be conveyed on screen. Though my film buff/fresh out of film school director wanabee cousin has heard that HBO is working on a series based on the books... after watching Rome, I think it could work. Maybe it's the only way it could work. ------ It's a basic truth of the human condition that everybody lies. The only variable is about what. |

'48 by James Herbert is the only book I've ever read that's movie worthy to be honest.
It'd make an awesome movie, but the setting alone would be a big trouble to pull off.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 *****.

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.

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.

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.

Originally by: Xauxau 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.
I wonder if that's what they were going for. They're certainly smaller in scope than the Dune books.

Anything with the word "Ender" or "Hegemon" in the title.
I think we both know that they'd only screw it up.

ANYTHING ever written by Aasimov
Asimov thinks too big for movies, IMHO.
Quote:
Any book by Ayn Rand
Lucus did one, but he called it "THX-1138".
Honestly, I think this whole thread is really "list of books I wish were movies, but we all know Hollywood would screw it up if they tried".

If it is it's because you made it that. I don't think there's any way to botch a movie about the Boxer Rebellion other than casting Jackie Chan and Pauly Shore as a dynamic duo, singlehandedly putting it down history revisionista style a la U-571.

commonwealth saga by Hamilton. would take expertise and editing, but could be done as a quadrilogie. one would have to very careful and crative about making the primes, but the rest is very possible.

Originally by: Frezik Gundam Seed movie that's good enough to forgive the atrocity that went down with Destiny. Given that the new Seed movie is already way past its original due date, I don't have high hopes.
You sir now have a high amount of my respect. To be honest, I would be interested in them doing a good live action one of this - I have some hope that the remake of Neon Genesis will both make sense and be as awesome as the original is supposed to be.

Holy crap. The Hobbit. Someone needs to do better than the animated musical.
LOTR is serious business. A lot of the cheeky, non-canon dialogue from Gimli in the PJ treatment would fit better in The Hobbit. I'd like to see it done without any regard for the PJ treatment. ----- TANSTAAFL

Not gonna lie, I thought 300 was a lot of fun to watch. Cool action scenes are 4tw in my opinion. Similarly, I think if they did "ASSASSIN'S CREED" the movie, it could be pretty sweet due to the amazing amount of dynamic fight scenes that could be made with it...
Then again... hitman sucked... so...uhh

Given he's an albino, people will see anemic, sociopath that's guided by external forces and accept no personal responsibilites, at least that was my take on the guy. Given these emo traits do we really want to see this made into a movie and have to suffer the red eye fad in its wake?

I know that but how accessible is that movie to someone wanting to see it today? Also I dare guess it was never an epic movie or it would be common knowledge, time to improve on the telling of one of the least heard of major events that shaped the world.
