What book series would you like to see made into a movie trilogy or a show with multiple seasons?
I’ve often wanted a movie/series based on the Dragonlance books or the Dark Elf trilogy. What would you all like to see done if you had the ability to do it?
The visuals would be amazing. I’d also like to see a depiction of the scene in the beginning of “Revelation Space” where Ilia gets pushed into a kilometers-high elevator shaft, and she belatedly remembers that she can just stop the ship accelerating to save herself.
It seemed like it was finally going to happen - someone even acquired the rights, after Feist knocked back offers over and over due to them not being a “good fit”.
Bolo. They’d have to do it in the *Love, Death, and Robots" format, since they’re all short stories and no recurring characters, but it’d be great like that.
I would love to see a movie or miniseries based on the “Bas-Lag” novels by China Mieville, which are “Perdido Street Station”, “The Scar”, and “Iron Council”
I think the best description of these books would be “Gritty Steampunk Fantasy” with a very generous dose of Weird. The writing is very descriptive, even when you really would rather not know about what’s being described.
Some things that are mentioned in these three books:
Mosquito people. The males are quiet and studious, the females are strong, dangerous, and driven mad by hunger
Punishment factories. Criminals are sentenced to “Remaking”. The Remade are people who have had either machinery or animal parts grafted onto them. Most Remakings are cruel and useless.
Smokestone. Rock that will change unpredictably into smoke - and back into stone.
Frog people who can make water hold a shape for a short time. A longshoreman’s strike in one of the books involved a bunch of these guys forming a large gap in a river.
Sentient steam powered constructs
*Drugs that let you experience other people’s dreams.
There is a lot I have to leave out due to spoilers, but it would be an awesome series.
The Vorkosigan saga. This would also go well with the Star Trek/Wars fanbases. More political than Brainship series. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorkosigan_Saga
The Dragearan books about Vlad Taltos by Steven Brust. Especially the first few. High fantasy mystery novels. This would be an easy sell, IMO. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Brust#Vlad_Taltos
This made me realize I haven’t read any new books in a while.
