Red Sonja? Blarf. There are other great action novels that could be made into movies but Hollywood has taken recycling way too far.

I’d rather see a movie/miniseries on Miles Vorkosigan, Honor Harrington and Kris Longknife.

I found this website about a week ago and it lists a ton of movies in production. I can't believe some of the movies they are trying to remake.

The Birds, Friday the 13th, Creepshow, TRON, Footloose, Revenge of the Nerds, Rosemary's Baby. Not to mention all the TV shows they are making into movies, A-Team, Dallas, Good Times, Smurfs. It's like they just gave up trying to think of new ideas.

Oh heavens, don’t let Hollywood within 10 light years of Vorkosigan! They’d make Miles six feet tall and give him a romantic limp. 10 to 1 they’d ditch Quinn, shack him up with Bel, and we’d be lucky if it was less than 90% action sequences.

Honor Harrington, on the other hand, just might survive intact. I’d actually like to see that....
