Books That You'd Like See As Films

Pretty self-explanatory.

Just tell what books/short stories (etc) you'd like to see made into films.

Feel free to expand on this too, as in, give reasons as to why you picked what you did, which actors you would pick for certain roles and who you'd get to direct it.

Have fun with this and be detailed!

porno by irvine welsh...(sequel to trainspotting) and for that matter, "glue", which porno is also the sequel to.

high-rise by JG Ballard
Drowned world also by Ballard

The Belgariad by David Eddings

I would have to say Druids..... anyone who hasnt read that book and is a fan of olden days lore should read this book. It's very moving.

Good call on the J G Ballard books.

I can't think of one at the moment....

Mein Kampf

Red Storm Rising and Cardinal Of The Kremlin by Tom Clancy.Damn those lazy bastards in hollywood for not getting off their lazy butts to make these into film projects. 😠

isherwood's berlin stories

Seconded

I would like to see the Order Master series, and other books by the same guy.

anything by Roger Zelazny..

anything by Ben Bova

The Shannara series.(Terry Brooks)..which i believe is in the works.

The wheel of time..Robert Jordan..which critics have described as"Where Tolkien left off"

The Icewind Dale trilogy...forgot who wrote it...Drizzt,Wulgar,Bruenor...set in the forgotten realms

I am a Sword and fantasy nut...so thats my pics...for now!

Though I don't think it could ever be pulled off the way it should be, I would love to see House of Leaves turned into a movie.
