Re: WHAT BOOKS OR SERIES WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE MADE INTO A MOVIE?

I totally agree....Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunters would be awesome on HBO as well as JR Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood!!!

I would love to see some of my favorite books made into movies. Several choices would be Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich, Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series by Laurell Hamilton, Rachel Morgan series by Kim Harrison, amd Fever Series by MK Moning.

These would all be great ones.

What do you think?

 


I would love to see gena showalters alien huntress series made into a movie.  I think she mixes fantasy, sci fi and mythology very well into a powerful series.

i agree that Lords of the Underworld would be a great series to make into a movie, but I think even better would be The Black Dagger Brotherhood By JR Ward.  BDB is my favorite series thus far.

     I know it's been picked up for a movie but,Vampire Academy would be pretty neat.

I'm sorry if someone said this already, but The Giver would be an amazing film I think.  It would be really cool to see the color phase in and I'm sure everyone who read this book had quite the visualization of the apple turning red as the two boys tossed it back and forth.  It could be stunning cinematography.  Of course, I want to see it made into a movie because it was a great story as well, but the visual possibilities are especially exciting. 

 

 

The Giver

The other book I would love to see visually adapted is Julie of the Wolves (I am also dying to see it on the Nook soon too, but that's another story for another board :smileyvery-happy:).  I think it could be amazing and filming on location would give it the beautiful backdrop it deserves.  Then, adding in wolves would be the tricky part.  Perhaps they could do CGI or superimpose the girl actress into real scenes with wolf packs.  I know there are a lot of half-breed wolf-dogs that could look like real wolves and are tame so maybe that could be a solution too.  However, whatever they did, I think it would be hard to go wrong with this sort of film.  It is a classic story of survival, hope, ingenuity and unusual animal bonding.  Similar to many greats of the past, but very unique in some ways too, this tale would be beautiful on the big screen.

Re: WHAT BOOKS OR SERIES WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE MADE INTO A MOVIE?

After Midnight (book 1) and The Vampire Who Loved Me (book 2) by Teresa Medeiros would make a great period piece vamp movie.  I would pick Lara Adrians Midnight Breed series for a showtime or HBO series. I enjoyed Laras take on how "The Breed" came to be of this earth. I enjoyed J. R. Wards BDB series as much as the rest of the vamp community. However, in Laras Midnight Breed series the writing and the plot are so much better. Its addicting and I'm sure I would tune in to see any similar plot on screen.

Re: WHAT BOOKS OR SERIES WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE MADE INTO A MOVIE?

I think that a Tv series might be better. It would be way too hard to make even a trilogy out of them all! But if you are a producer imagine knowing that there are so many seasons already thought of for you. And imagine every week getting to see all those lovely men trying to make you happy!

I agree, they would be awesome. Another thought- a series on Showtime?

How about the Night Huntress series? I think that would look great on the big screen and they couldn't screw it up too bad.

Re: WHAT BOOKS OR SERIES WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE MADE INTO A MOVIE?

I saw the title to this post and immediately thought, "The Stephanie Plum books!" 

 

Of course, that was the very first post. I LOVE those books! I can just see grandma Mazer shooting the chicken dinner, the fiascos at the funeral home...

 

Anyway, then I guess if I have to pick something else, it'd be Dean Koontz's Frankenstein series.

I didn't see it mentioned, although I may have missed the post but I would love to see the Terry Brooks "Magic Kingdom For Sale: Sold" series made into movies or a mini-series.  The books are fantastic.  :smileyhappy:

 

OOPS, wrong genre. Sorry.

Re: WHAT BOOKS OR SERIES WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE MADE INTO A MOVIE?

I'm still waiting on the verdict for Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game to be turned into a movie... One of my all time favorite series so if they do make into a movie it better be phenomenal!

Re: WHAT BOOKS OR SERIES WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE MADE INTO A MOVIE?

I think that the Rachel Morgan series would make a great HBO or Showtime series. And someone like Robert Rodriguez or Frank Miller should be in charge.  IDK why, that's just what I see......

 

I don't think a lot of the series mentioned (including Rachel) would make good movies, too much stuff would get cut.
