Books That You Want To See Made Into Movies

[PlutoIsHades]

Marlfox I can kind of see.

 

Rakkety Tam would be a little more difficult I think because of the whole cannibalism thing... I'd still like to see it done, though. Rakkety Tam is a favorite of mine, too. (:

 

The first book, Redwall, would have to come first, though. There'd have to be a movie of the book that started it all if Redwall movies were going to be made. X3

Yeah, Redwall'd have to come first. On the other hand, what does it tell about Redwall that isn't explained in the other books?

 

Maybe instead of showing all the dead animals, they could just show Gulo eating a steak or something.

To tell you all the truth, I haven't really read any of the books you all want into a movie. I was scrolling throught the first page and saw someone say the hunger games... I believe that is comming out in theatres soon. Anywho, I would kinda like to see Erin Hunter's Warriors... Although, I keep thinking over this; They would have to have a lot of movies because there are six books in a series and already four series, almost finished with a fifth. They are very neat books and I would like to see what media producers do with it. I doubt they'd do it though, most people might think it is for little kids just because there are cats in it.

Gahh! Don't listen to me, all my step mom's fault! Anyways, that is what I think would be a pretty good movie.

i think Warriors would better be translated into just a regular TV series. live action would be a bit too unrealistic(funnily enough) i think, but if it were done with an anime style it might turn out alright

 

i'd like to see some more of Stephen King's book made into movies if they could be done well enough.. 'Needful Things' or the Dark Tower series

I think it'd just be first because it was what started the whole Redwall legacy. The first book, so the first movie. But that's just my thinking.

 

lol

 

Yeah, maybe just showing Gulo and his hoard after the fact. x3

I know they'd have to make a Redwall movie, and I mean the first one. IMO, I don't really like it compared to some of the other books, though.

 

They were able to make the animated series, so I know they would be able to make a movie. Except in the animated series, they gave some of the characters weird voices. So if they made Rakkety Tam into a movie, they'd probably bungle Tam and Doogy's accents.

[KrystalSharz]

I see some really great suggestions in here!

I would probably like to see Pern and Warriors made into movies, considering it is done correctly.

And I'd love to see the Ranger's Apprentice series made into movies.

Harry Potter! Lol, jk. I honestly don't know because besides Warriors, the only book I want them to make is the Hobbit and it's coming out in 2012/2013. (It's in two parts.)

A GOOD remake of Eragon would be great.

I liked Eragon, but then I read the books and the movie was almost nothing like the book. They should do a re-make, but I'll still like the current one.

TA DA! I know I'm excited!

 

EDIT: Oops! Looks like I was beat a few posts up.

Me too! Which is why this got me rather excited. Apparently a Ranger's Apprentice movie is indeed in the planning stages. People are discussing who they think would be good for what roles and such. (Personally I think Jeremy Irons or Viggo Mortensen would make a great Halt.)

Yeah, for me the first Redwall book is just so... Different... From the others. It bored me a little the first time I read it. I still gotta love it, though. lol

 

I haven't watched too much of the animated series. Only a few episodes, really.

I loved the animated series!

Redwall used to be my favourite book series ever. Then I realized that the plot is pretty much the same over and over again

Still a great series, though!

I love the Redwall series (I've been reading this books for over five years). x3

 

I can't say that the plot is really the same, it's more like the theme is repeated; good triumphs over evil. But that's just my thought. :3

[MEDUSA]

Meh... I think most movies based on books sucked epic-ly. They would KILL Redwall

That depends on who got it. If the right directors got it, and they got the right actors, the right writers, the right animators, etc...

 

But that's a lot to hope for, I guess.

[WindSerperior]

I'd like to see the first Warriors series turned into a TRADTIONAL animated movie. Though knowing the movie people, they'd probably screw up the story to fit the 2 hour time limit.

They were planning on making a movie, but with animation that's similar to the animation that was used in Narnia. I'm not sure if they still are.

I love the first Warriors series. I'd definitely gather up a group of friends and go see a Warriors movie, especially if it was about the first series.

 

I'd like to see them put the Icemark Chronicles into a movie series.

[Faoladh]

Oh goodness, all of these books I haven't read! I should definately look some of these up.

 

Had anyone else read The Underland Chronicles, by Suzzane Collins, the same author as The Hunger Games? I realize they're geared towards a younger audience, but I absolutely loved them. If they stick to the story, I think they would make wonderful movies. Just the right amount of action in them.

 

I would love to see The Giver, by Lois Lowry made into a movie as well! However, it does have some dark, and not exactly socially acceptable elements to it... so a movie is probably out of the question. :/

 

Oh! On a semi-related note, I wish they could make a good adaptation of the Animorph series, by K. A. Applegate. They came out with a few episodes on Nickelodeon many years ago, but they were, to put it nicely, not well made.

[shaun056]

After seeing how well A Game of Thrones done last year I think we'll begin to sea more and more books turned into long running tv shows as it would work better for the story.

Personally, I'd love to see The Wheel of Time, or the Sword of Shannara in this vien.

[Kiran]

Well, not so much that I want them to make movies of books, but I want people to make better movies from m=books. Like the Black Stallion. I love the books, the the movie was boring. I think they kind of killed it by using such a young actor. And Percy Jackson and the Olympians? They're amazing books, but the characters seem to old and the Lotus Casino was overkill. Although I'd love to see Warriors, just the first arch, though, made into a movie, if they did it right.

[Skypool]

I think the Gone Series, by Michael Grant, would make great movies!^^

[TheAntimonyElement]

Unf. The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander! (the series that "The Black Cauldron" was kind-of-sort-of-ish based on). The series is so phenomenal, it would make a spectacular set of movies.

[playswithfyre]

I don't know if this has been said, but Maximum Ride by James Patterson!! Also the Leviathan trilogy by Scott Westerfeld, and the Uglies series also by Scott Westerfeld.

[angelkay]

I don't know if this has been said, but Maximum Ride by James Patterson!! .

THIS, THIS, THIS!!

 

Also:

Divergent - Veronica Roth

Ethereal - Addison Moore

 

I'll add more later, I'm trying to remember the name of another book, and it's driving me insane!

[tyto_alba]

Divergent looks interesting. Any idea how many books with be in the series...?

 

(I don't like reading very long series' very much anymore.)

 

Edit:

 

herp-derp, looked at her website, answered my own question.

 

Looks like it'll be a trilogy, which is good. Trilogies are nice, unlike series' with a book count of over 9000.
