Could they do the Harry Potter books? That would be great.

The Woman in White - Wilkie Collins. It’s never been adequately done. I’d say ‘The Day of the Triffids’ but it’s been ripped off so many times that people wouldn’t see it for the original work it was.

The Axis of Time series by John Birmingham would be awesome!

Swan Song

I would love to see “Old Mans War”.

How about the story of Cutter Labs in the 50’s killed over 8000 people with a batch of live polio. oops.

TIME AND AGAIN, by Jack Finney would make a great series. A movie wouldn't be able to cover enough of the story.

The Koran. I suggest Mikey Moore as producer with Alec Baldwin as Mad Mo.

Anything Lovecraft.

I’m surprised some enterprising group hasn’t started a hugh series out of his stories.

Only need one set for Arkham University.

I think the Greeks - probably Aristotle - settled this question 2500 years ago. IIRC, 36 basic plots, all of which are employed in Classical Greek Drama. Preserved to us through the efforts of anonymous Irish monks in cold cellaria in inhospitable climes throughout the Continent while the Huns and Goths raged and plundered through several bloody centuries.

Every author who has ever written in English owes a debt of gratitude to the Greeks and those who have built on their achievements.

Also, thank the Lord, we have Gyros!

There’s a couple I’d like.

The first is the Elric saga by English fantasy author Michael Moorcock. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, and it would be tough to do well, but I’d like to see it done. It would even have it’s own ready-made soundtrack. Hawkwind’s dedicated an entire album to the novels, and Moorcock co-write the BOC classics “Black Blade” and “Veterans of the Psychic Wars.”

The second would be an adaptation of a video game. Now, I know most video game movies suck, but with the right director, this one could be great. In the late 90s, there was a fantasy game called Planescape: Torment that had the most innovative and unusual concept/storyline I’ve in a game. Essentially, it is the story of an amnesiac man who cannot die (permanently, anyway) and has been going through a cycle of death and forgetful rebirth for centuries, if not millennia. As the story progresses, we discover both how and why he became immortal, and why the cycle of death and rebirth must stop. It’s surprisingly deep stuff, especially for a video game. A lot of philosophical issues of sin and redemption, and ultimate justice. Great game that could make a fantastic film, IMHO.
