PNR Books That Should Be A Movie

[Kiersten, Mod]

I have had several people comment that my books resemble something they've seen on TV or in a movie. Honestly, I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing. However, if folks can envision my books on the big screen, then I'll take it as a complement.

So that got me thinking. What books have you read that you think would make a great movie?

L.A. Banks Vampire Huntress Series

J.R. Ward's BDB would make a great soap opera.

I personally would love to see Vampire Academy get it own movie series or tv series. The books are just so good. They already made a stand-alone movie, but it was garbage. So I really hope they decide to make an updated one.

Jane Cousin's Southern Sanctuary and Kristin Painter's Nocturne Falls are the first two series that come to mind as TV series.

I've thought peripherally about this issue... but I got this heartbreakingly cool trailer from a fan across the pond recently, and now I REALLY want to see the Mer Chronicles on the screen! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NFTZ...

I vastly prefer TV shows over movies for most book adaptations due to the limitations of a 90 minute movie. But I also don't think that most PNR/UF that I enjoy can be given justice to on screen for a number of reasons.

But some of those I would like to see in movie format because they are very cinematic on the page include;



would be great as an animated movie

Others I'd ove to see

I've been desperate to see a TV adaptation of this ever since the first time I read it! To be done justice to it would need to stay fairly close to the source material and it would need to be done by an HBO type (ie no holds barred) network.

a post apoloclytic/dystopian that is perfect for current times (and I don't mean COVID-19)

would also make an excellent TV series and I think would too.

Awww thx and you are welcome! Just beware that The Witching Hour is VERY long and has a lot of problematic content and The Parables duet gets dark and very heavy. Both (all!) are excellent reads that I 5 starred though and are amoung the very few books that I will read not just more than once, but over and over again.

There are so many others that I love, but again I just don't feel that the beauty of the story or how it was written would or could ever be given justice to onscreen... this is one of those and is very near the very top of my list
which is a STUNNING book (series starter) in every single way.

Although, it makes me think of TJ Klunes most recent book, which I also think would make an absolutely wonderful animated movie

Just bought Wolfsong. Hope I love it half as much as you did!

Hi again! I know taste is subjective, but for this book I would be shocked if you didn't!

Think they could do amazing things with Ilona Andrews - Hidden Legacy series.

And totally agree with another reviewer that a TV take on the Southern Sanctuary series by Jane Cousins would bring the sizzle and the laughs

Back in 2015 Warner bought the rights for Kresley Cole’s Arcana Chronicles (its on her web page) Poison Princess. They were suppose to adapted it to t.v.

Another movie supposedly was suppose to be made of Red Rising. It was announce the same time as Cole’s... though this one’s a sci-fi YA

[SJ]

The Bloodlines series by Richelle Mead should be a TV show. I would watch that in a heartbeat.

[Lucy]

for sure Laura Thalassa's Four Horsemen of the apocalypse series

Ah, would have loved for Kresley Cole’s Immortals After Dark series Wicked Deeds on a Winter's Night to be adapted. Though it would have some difficulties seeing that each book can be considered a stand a alone.

Dark Hunter series.

[RaeRae]

the Anita Blake series but they would have to tame it down for TV. But...... a movie would be great

[Angela]

I think the "Nocturne Falls" series would make a fun TV series.

[Riley]

I always think about this! I wish PNR movies were more common. Personally, I would like to see the Fae Chronicles by Amelia Hutchins done as a TV series or movies
