Robert Jordans; The Wheel of Time

But its very long!

Elric of Melnibone would be interesting. Anything Eternal Champion related on top of that would be great. They'd probably fck it up though.

An adaptation of this autobiography would make the definitive street gangster movie, IMO.

I'd like to see Stephen King's It as a better movie.

(I know it's technically a 'mini-series', but c'man, you know what I mean)

The Wolf's Hour could be a fun movie... And American Gods and Blood Meridian.

Ringworld, by Larry Niven.
Flux, by Stephen Baxter.
Dying Inside, by Robert Silverberg (but updated).
Vendetta, by Peter David.

I was a fan of T. A. Barron's Lost Years of Merlin series. His website has had a short article about a possibility of a movie for about a year an a half or so, at least, now.

Wouldn't mind seeing "Gil's All Fright Diner" by an author who's name I forget, but I question whether it would make a good film.

Some of the Jasper Fforde stuff would be good for sure.

That's sound great, i'm going to pick it up... Wiki states that Dreamworks is producing the film

speaking of which I would like to see Christine made into a tv mini series like It was cause I liked the movie when it first came out,but when I read the book years later,I felt the movie could have been so much better than what it was so I wish they would make a tv mini series out of it like they did with the shining which they should have left alone on that one since the movie was so good.

I'd like to see "Bad Men" by John Connolly made into a movie, or any of the Charlie Parker novels by Connolly, wouldn't mind seeing some of the Prey novels adapted either

id like to see a few Sarah Dessen novels turned into movies and The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl would be a great one as well
there's also Drums, Girls and Dangerous Pie among others

"This Present Darkness"

For comics/graphic Novels

-Iron Fist
-Hellsing

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

Really? I'm yet to read Porno, but I heard something about
Spoiler:
Renton getting buff and learning martial arts in case he ever meets Begbie again
and other such odd things. Seemed rather lame.

Apparently one is currently in the works.

Agreed. It would be epic.

I also would like to see a Lovecraft movie perhaps Call of Cthulhu or On the Mountains of Madness. A movie based on Gaiman's Sandman series would be cool as well.
