Books I WISH would be made into a movie

[Betti]

Looking for Alaska!
And also, are they going to keep making films from the Mortal Instruments? Because I read that City of Bones wasn't as good as expected:(

[Whitley]

They are starting over and making a mortal instruments to show instead

[Whitley]

**tv show

[Betti]

@Whitley
But they are having the same actors, aren't they?

[Sherlock-Lover]

I so hope not

James Clemens wrote a series called "The Banned and the Banished," and it was awesome! I could not put the books down, and thought to myself the whole time that it would make a great movie franchise. I even went so far as to imagine who I would want cast as the characters!

[Anjelica]

i know the duff is being made into a movie but i wish the movie had just stayed true to the book instead of changing the whole storyline.

[Jenny]

By far I would like to someone remake the pitiful excuse for a movie that was called Eragon! The movie was terrible at best, but i loved the books!

[Sherlock-Lover]

Same

I think I would like the book series to be made into a movie. Also maybe the stage version only if they got the original cast

[Sneha]

I really wish they remake Percy Jackson Series. With actual kids this time. And continue with all 10 books.

The Endlands by Vincent Hobbes. It would be like a modern Twilight Zone, Outer Limits and Tales From the Dark Side type of deal.

Vlad: The Last Confession, some may not like the real telling of Dracula as it would seem boring and they'd be waiting for Dracula who never shows up but I myself would really enjoy this.

The comic The Manhattan Projects would make an excellent film.

[Cate (The Professional Fangirl)]

The Pierce Brown books that I'm reading reads like a screenplay. I'm interested to see Red Rising as a movie because it took me a while to get through all the jargon and action.

[Caitlin "Sparkie"]

Unwind

[Stephanie]

The Selection, Better Off Friends, Take A Bow, and Anna and the French Kiss

[Victoria]

I agree, the Selection would be such a great movie!!

[Justin]

As a comic and video game I think The Darkness would make an excellent movie. It'd kind of be like The Godfather meets Alien lol. I just recently beat the 1st game, I'd like to play the 2nd and read the comics but even more so I'd love to see it made into a movie.

[Alex]

They NEED to make these movies, and some might be "in the works."
-Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
-Warriors by Erin Hunter
-Seekers by Erin Hunter
-Legend by Marie Lu
-Michael Vey Prisoner of Cell 25 by Richard Paul Evans
C'mon movie people! Make it happen!!!

[Jenny Jo]

I have a few books I would LOVE to see made into movies. Is there somewhere we could vote on this?

Apparently they already have a movie version of Looking for Alaska in post-production!!! Due to come out this year (2015) :D

[Kelsey]

The Secret History by Donna Tartt. Although, maybe there isn't enough outward "action"... but I LOVED that book... one of the few that I wasn't ready to end :'(

[seth]

All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr would be an excellent movie I think.

[W.P.]

Beach Music by Pat Conroy - It would be epic. Meryl Streep would be involved :)

[Kit]

Omg Throne of Glass yes.

But not if they miscast Celaena. And you know, I feel that that would be inevitable… :P

[Hannah]

I heard they were making Fallen by Lauren Kate into a movie. Anyone heard anything more about it?
Also, same goes for Tiger's Curse by Colleen Houck. I loved this series, but, for the record, if they do end up making this saga into a string of movies, they should fix Kelsey's whiney attitude in the last 2 books.
Why is it that all the good, independent teenage girls in YA fiction always end up complaining about everything? Does anyone else agree with this?

[Cate (The Professional Fangirl)]

I'm not even halfway through yet but I want The Last American Vampire to be made into a movie. A sequel to yet another book-to-film title, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.

[[deleted user]]

I rrreeeeaaaallllyyyy want "The Banned and the Banished" series to be made into a movie. It would be SO awesome!

Omg, I would die if they screwed the movie up. The cast would have to be epic and perfect!

Absolutely LOVE the musical but it is so far away from the book. If they are to make this into a movie, I hope they do it like Maleficent. Wicked is really dark... and the musical is quite the opposite of that.

[Ross]

I'm hesitant to recommend a beloved book to be butchered by a film adaptation, but that said some have actually been pretty good. I'd love to see A Natural History of Dragons made into a film, purely because how fantastic would a science-based approach to dragons featuring a period costume drama be? It'll be like Downton Abbey meets How to Train Your Dragon with some elements of Dracula, and Indiana Jones thrown in.

[Janessa S]

my favorite book-SHUG by Jenny Han should be a movie, because it is set in late summer and i would love to see the romances on the big screen

[Anna]

The Lockwood & co series have their rights bought but nothing is confirmed. But I'd LOVE to see it as a movie ( as long as it won't become another PJO movie)

[Ross]

If done right The Locke and Key books would make for a fantastic movie franchise or series!

[Kristin]

I would LOVE to see The Bronze Horseman as a mini series or movie.
Also Juliet would be a great movie!

[Zeus3713]

The Kane Chronicles. I love egyptian mythology and I feel that this would be a good movie.

[Lynsay]

I, Fatty by Jerry Stahl.

[Cate (The Professional Fangirl)]

I was about to say "The Dinner" by Herman Koch only to realize that there are 2 films about it already.

[Lyra]

"Legend" (by Marie Lu) should be made into the movie. Oh wait, IT IS!! It begins filming this year!! I think that Tim Burton should totally make "Reckless" (by Cornelia Funke) into a movie...maybe?

[Lillie]

A Wrinkle In Time

[Lillie]

The Beduins Gazelle

[Anika]

The Eve series would be amazing as movies!! And the forsaken series.

[Ross]

Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series would be eerily epic! Speaking of epic, The Reckoners trilogy might make for a refreshing alternative to superhero films of the moment.

[Cate (The Professional Fangirl)]

There's a TV movie for this book already.

I'm currently reading "Rot & Ruin" by Jonathan Maberry. I kinda dig this more than The Walking Dead even.

[Tallulah]

I would love to see the;
- The Violet Eden Chapters by Jessica Shirvington because wow
- The Vampire Academy to be re done
- More Than This by Patrick Ness
- The Covenant series by JL Armentrout
- The Immortal Beloved series by Cate Tiernan

[Eleera]

I probably would want to see the Legend series as a movie, but I would probably be disappointed with the result because the books are so good.

Hi all, new to this group. Love books, love movies, and am loving the concept of this group.
So I'll kick off with my first comment... The book I have just finished reading, which I have to say I absolutely LOVED -

Once Bitten, Twice Die
A cracking read, and I understand, having read the author's websitee, that it is being mooted by a Hollywood producer at the moment either for film or TV series. I SINCERELY hope it makes it to either, as it would translate sooo well...
And on that note, would you all prefer it (or any other book) to make it to film or TV series? And if you happen to read this particular book, let me know what you think. I'd like to know if it's just me that thinks this way...

There are so many books I would love to see be made into movies but my top picks would be

Blood of Eden Series
Throne of Glass series (although this would be better as tv)
Easy (by Tammara Webber)
Shatter Me series
All The Rage
Snow Like Ashes

[Laura]

New to Goodreads but a book I would love to be made into a movie is I Am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes. He's a screenwriter originally and, I think, this was his first published novel. It's obvious why he writes movie scripts. I have never been so 'on the edge of my seat' reading a book than I was reading this one!

[Cate (The Professional Fangirl)]

A Darker Shade of Magic is confirmed to go to TV. Heard it from VE Schwab herself that she's writing the pilot - or have finished it already.

[Tanya]

Definitely The Red pyramid should be made a movie
