I remember what Neal Shusterman has told me more than once about the process of making books into movies: in today's relatively frugal Hollywood scene, major film studios aren't willing to finance anything that isn't a sequel or remake; in other words, a known commodity with low risk to lose money. So if Leviathan or any other original movie project is to be picked up, it will have to be by a smaller studio that depends on taking risks to survive. By the way, Unwind the movie should be completed within a year or two.

It's a seminal work that could and should stand forever among whatever else is offered in young-adult literature. If anyone can produce a greater work than Unwind, that person is Neal Shusterman, but I have to believe Unwind will go down as his definitive masterpiece.
The Key trilogy by Nora Roberts... IT WOULD BE FUNNY!!!

But think of Victor Fleming's The Wizard of Oz from 1939. The movie was so well-done, it became even more famous than the classic novel that preceded it, and all but wiped the memory of previous motion picture versions of The Wizard of Oz from the minds of the public. Few people anymore have ever even heard of the silent version of The Wizard of Oz from the 1920s.

Shiver trilogy by maggie stiefvater

Omg get it! Like it's amazing okay.

Cinder, Scarlet and Cress and Winter. (The 4th book, I believe.)
Yeah, Cinder would be a good movie I think :)
Not really. It's in the future about a cyborg mechanic who has a mistaken identity and is forced to give up her body for plague research.
I'd really wish that the Hush Hush saga would be made into a movie - I just love that series! xD lol
