which books should be made into movies, who would star in it, and who should be the director?

very good question indeed....Hmm well I am into history books and always wanted a epic about alexander the great...which I hear theres two in the works(yay!!)
maybe a modren version of Animal Farm by George Orwell which animal animations like that was in babe...I think that could be chilling...

I need to think more about this...Hmmmm

wow, what a coincidence! we just finished reading animal farm in lit! yes, a new version would do. did you hear that colin farrell is playing alexander the great? i was hoping that leo dicaprio or someone else would play him.

leo was scripted for the other version which would come out a year later than the one with colin farrell.(is he still?) I dont care for colin ferrel in the part but he may surprise especially since its got a 130million dollar budget and oliver stone directing(they say he's been planning this for 8years!) so Ill keep my fingers crossed! 😄

they are going to make two versions?! what's the point in that?!

to see which makes more money 😉

i have a feeling that the leo version would do better. whose the director for it?

baz luhrmann (moulin rouge)and he also wants nicole kidman back this movie as well

glory! god no! moulin rouge was whacked and i don't nicole would fit the movie.

me either...and Angelina Jolie is going to be in oliver stones..ekk!!

oliver stones? what's that about?

I guess she is going to be Alexanders mom..or somethin..not sure
(oliver stones alexander the great)

alex's mom...oliver's stone? are those two different stories? i'm confused.

oliver stone is directing the 'Alexander the great movie'due next year. Angelina Jolie is suppose to play his mother.

she can't pass as roman. what poor taste in casting!

well as the mother of Alexander, Olympias,She has universally been condemned as an evil, scheming, murderous witch. The only good words ever written about her are that she was beautiful and she loved her son. so maybe Angelina Jolie might not be to bad 😈 I really would have rather seen someone else though...

i learned alot about alex last year in hist, don't know much of the mom.

have you read lois duncan's ransom and is there a movie of it yet? i read it back in eigth grade for a book report. not bad.

no I havent read any of her books sadly...as far as I know they havent made that book into movie yet. hmm they have made 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' a move and 'Killing Mr. Griffin' is a NBC Movie.

the book that mirrored her daughters murder is 'Don’t Look Behind You'.
that I might read cause thats a chilly coincidence

who was in "killing mr. griffin" and when year did it come out?

awww...that's sad. =(

heres a link with some info...hope it helps
