Self-explanatory, really.

Any books that you've read you would love to see committed to film?

I'd have to say Jennifer Gov't by Max Barry, which got optioned a couple years ago and still hasn't been produced. Or maybe Philip K. Dick's Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch.

You?

ANIMORPHS! The TV show was stupid as hell, but a movie (OR MULTIPLE!) would kick ass! Especially the Andelite chronicles! WOOOOOO!

They've screwed up in some fashion every book I've liked when they've put it to film.


If they could get it right, maybe The Godmakers by Herbert.

There is lots of them but ever since I was a kid I've wanted to see what it would be like if they made a movie based on The Giver by Lois Lowry

The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold... that book touched me in a way that no other has, but the movie would be kind of graphic, and id be hysterically crying throughout the whole thing, it would be sort-of depressing also, so i highly doubt that anyone would make it into a movie.

I read about 70 pages of Lovely Bones and hated it. I thought it was sappy trash, and didn't know what the big deal was (everyone was lauding and reading it).

And The Giver now that I think about it, I also would love to see that book as a film. I think it would be great, considering the black and white imagery mixed with the colors when he begins to "awake."

American McGee's Alice is a game..but it'd do fine as a movie! WOO for it!

all the Gossip Girl novels put into one movie.

Theyre my guillty pleasure :P

but i wouldnt want them to edit it or anything to make it appropriate for younger teens. i want the whole raw deal.

Mein Kampf by Hitler

i hightly doubt they could get it right, but it would be worth a try.

Gossip Girl is already being made into a movie. Lindsay Lohan is going to be Blair.

Gossip Girl...definatly a guilty pleasure of mine. I think it would make a good, dramatic movie.

Also, whoever said The Lovely Bones..It was an amazing book - I loved it, but I couldn't see it being made into a movie.

None. Book movies suck 90% of the time. I would not want to sacrafice any of my favorite books to the proballity of suckyness.

Perks of being a wallflower.

^ That would be good.

The Dirt: Confessions of a Notorious Rock Band.

^ That would also be good.

They are making that film, I think.

the GOSSIP GIRL books would make an AWESOME movie or tv. show.. ITS THE SEX AND THE CITY FOR THE TEENAGE GENERATION.. i love those books..

I was going to say that.

A nice little book, the characters are so well formed you could just lift it from the pages.

The Secret History - Donna Tartt.

This is an amazing story and also one of my favourite books of all time. So all I can say is if they ever tried to make this into a film, they'd better not fuck it up.

a fantasy novel.
the film industry is lacking in large-scale fantasy movies; and one would have thought there'd be at least one in the wake of The Lord of the Rings' success.

maybe Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin or Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind.

Forever

really? yeah i think she'll be good as Blair. shes good at being bitchy. i wonder who will play Serena? Hilary Duff, lol?

A girl named Liana Jordan is playing Serena.

i cant find a picture of her! she HAS to be naturally blonde though. and strikingly beautiful

this girl would be the perfect Serena..,

she was in mean girls with lindsay

yeah shed be a good serena.. im looking for other blonde actresses that would be good for the role

Even though it is going t be made into a movie. The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. Awesome story.

Obvious selection for me would be '*****' , which, for those that don't know, is Irvine Welshes follow up to Trainspotting.

Apparently Boyle might be making *****.
I keep hearing conflicting stories though.
I think there was a thread on here about it.

Mm. I hope not.

I believe there was. I'd be seriously, seriously amazed if it did happen.

People say I look like her... But she would make a good Serena. What about a Nate?

Originally posted by Ethosophikal
Why?

Why make a sequel to an already fine movie? (And further more, why write a sequel?) I would just soon as say do something totally original with the divine trinity (boyle, mcgregor, hodge), seeing as they already did Shallow Grave and Trainspotting together, and were supposed to do The Beach.. which were all great films.

There was enough closure to the first novel/film where a sequel wasn't needed, and imo, it'll ruin the characters for folks who haven't read the novel/s.

A young Ryan Phillipe would be the PERFECT Chuck. he has that "i can get any girl in bed that i want to" smile. but hes too old now...

the clique

The shopaholic series lol. it would do really well i think

The perks of being a Wallflower

yeah screenplays for that, in my head.

:puke1:

wheres the fucking puke.

The world is full of married men by Jackie Collins and Bittersweet by Danielle Steel

sucks ass

Necessary Roughness

Enders Game

the sexy series by Linda Francis Lee

Wheel of Time series, by Robert Jordan

she doesn't have to actually be 14, just look it

And i know plenty of short girls with big boobs, i'm sure they'll find someone

http://www.gossipgirlmovieinfo.piczo.com/

check that site out, it has a picture of Liana Jordan, who really isn't that pretty if you ask me. They also have a picture of the girl cast as Katie Farkas.

The tomorrow series by John Marsden... & books so they'd need like 6 movies minimum. And they'd fuck it up bad, for sure.

I am looking forward to Gossip Girl.I love the book because the girls name is Blair and my name is Blair,and its not really recognised as a 'female' name,especially without the e on the end.

The Icewind Dale Trilogy by R.A Salvatore.

i dont know most of the books i loved that turned into movies sucked and totally ruined the reputation of the books..........but if they did a good job The Golden compass by Phillip Pullman and i am so so so not a sci-fiction person or whatever it is and it really is good

i cant stand hilary duff she annoys me............

None. I really love reading, and wouldn't want an amazing book made into movie because it ruins my image of the book. Like Harry Potter did that.

Gossip Girls but i heard they already started making the movie!!

Lovely Bones...all the way. I could play Lindsey...lol.

They have! :nod:

Shopgirl and The Pleasure of My Company, both written by Steve Martin and both my favorite books next to enders game and the stand. i would love to see shop girl and the pleasure of my company as movies

Shopgirl might be a good movie. But only if Steve Martin is affiliated with the film heavily.

indeed

The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver could make an interesting movie. They'd have to make it 6 hours long, though.

The gossip girl movies will suck!!! They havnt even finished writing the books yet!!! And the books are so complicated that they will have to cut laods of stuff out!!!! And look who they have playing the characters!!!! SO WRONG!!!!!
THe books are amazing but they are maknig a bad choice by turning it into a film!

I want "Shadows" by John Saul to be a movie! It's about this private school with really smart people in it, and the kids like, start disappearing, and it turns out the principal is taking their brains and killing their bodies and the kids live in the computers with their brains only!!! It would be SOOO awesome, but probably really fake. Lol.

Cruel Sacrifice by Aphrodite Jones.

That sounds really funny.

Anything Stephen King: Firestarter remake, The Dark Tower series, a more book-based Hearts in Atlantis, & Bag of Bones (Being made already. WooHoo!)

Three Days as The Crow Flies

but then, its a pretty sexually explicit book, so they'd probably have to cut out those parts for the film

I wish I knew wtf gossip girls was

yes! I would LOVE to see this book made into a movie.:top:

she looks pretty good for the part though. i cant see her too well though cause the picture is so small.

The A-List novels by Zoey Dean..also i think that the Giver would be a good movie too

I'd like to see a series of films based on The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. There's a 90% chance that whoever made them would fuck it up majorly though, so maybe not.

Dont Talk To Strangers

I'm afraid for the books I like to turn into movies. I always get so disappointed when they do the movies based on books wrongly.

I would like to see The Clique made into a movie, but I would like it to be about girls in high school instead of 7th graders. Another book I'd like to see into a movie is Ticket Home. It was a really good book that made me cry hysterically at the end. I think it would be hard to make into a movie though.

Summer Sisters by Judy Blume

The Bunny Suicides and The Return of The Bunny Suicides but with real life bunnies.

That would be so fookin' funny.

Can you imagine all the animal rights activists?

Hah!

Shadows by John Saul...

And anymore James Patterson books they haven't made movies into yet.

And Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz.

FORGED BY FIRE by Sharon M. Draper

Walk Two Moons

The Devil In Vienna

Also The Gift by Danielle Steel

the three books of David Pelzer: A Child Called It, The Lost Boy, A Man Named Dave... I think these would make a very good life-drama trilogy.

The Hobbit

If they could get it right, the Anita Blake:Vampire Hunter series by Laurell K. Hamilton would make an awesome movie,I'm not usually into the vampire thing but I borrowed one from a friend and they were good. Although it does have some pretty detailed sex and murder scenes so it probably would not go. Also Faultline by Janet Tashjian would be pretty good.

Prey by Michael Crichton

Anything Stephen King: Firestarter remake, The Dark Tower series, a more book-based Hearts in Atlantis, & Bag of Bones (Being made already. WooHoo!)It is?That's sweet. It's one of my favourite Stephen King novels.

The HobbitI heard there already was a movie called The Hobbit but it's really old.

I'd like to see Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz turned into a movie. I could not put that book down once I started reading it.

I don't have a clue :/

i would like to see "twice taken"

Odd Thomas, by Dean Koontz .

I heard there already was a movie called The Hobbit but it's really old.


Yea they got a cartoon version of it. But I was wanting to see one with real characters like they did in the Lord of the Rings.

Uumm how about Breaking Rank, Bottled Up, You Dont Know Me, and some book I read along time ago about a boy who finds out his whole town including him are aliens it had a cover with a boy with a metal glove on it I forget what it was called.

After the First Death would be an interesting movie

Ive read alote of books in my lifetime, and I must say, I loved alote of them two, but the two most book series I would want to see commited to film are Pendragon (the merchant of death, the lost city of farr, the never war, and the virtual bug) and Rowan of Rin (rowan of rin, the travellers, the keeper of the crystal, the zebak, the ice creepers)

ohhh i've thought so many books should be a movie..... but when you have to think of them i can't.....
