Theres plenty of great book-to-movie translations out there, everything from the Shawshank Redemption to the (sort of) Apocalypse Now, but there are also those great books that have never been made into films (or at least into good films). What story would you like to see most as a film?

Anything else by Chuck Palahniuk....
I cant wait for them to wise up and finally do "Survivor," god damn it!

I know, I would also want Catcher in the Rye, but if not that, then the sci-fi book A Wrinkle In Time. Man, that book would make such a good movie!

Yeah this topic came a few months back. My answer remains the same as well. One day I will make the book to screen translation of Frank E Peretties "This Present Darkness" and "Piercing The Darkness". Its actually almost been made several times before. The books idea is stronger than the actual story and Im working on a short that is semi based on the books (more on the concept) but need financing to make it. When I make it though, rest assured it will be sick. Sick I tell you!!!

Yes Mind Rite! The Giver baby... I loved that book when I was younger. I'm gonna have to read it again.

The tales of Alvin Maker. But since its so long, maybe it should be made into a mini series.

Firstly, the phantom (sp?) tollbooth should have been a movie so long ago. Its a great book, and would make the movie so well.


Also, killer angels on a different tone also.

wow, Phantom Tollbooth...I remember that book
The Duldrums! Oh man, thatd be a sweet movie!

the movie "the color purple" was kinda like the book "there eyes were watching god"

The Phantom Tollbooth was made into a cartoon a while back. Don't remember how far back, but at least 20 years.

The Wheel of Time series. Only problem is it is too long. They would have to cram three - four books into one movie to make a trilogy.

Oh, and I just started reading it. Stephen King's Dark Tower series, I claim that one.

Yeah, I was thinking about the Phantom Tolbooth and I realized suddenly that I knew the movies general direction almost by heart. First, this persecuted punk kid (live action) comes home to fin aa weird hift in his house. He opens it and a car and a tolboot coem out. He goes in and everything goes cartoon. He meets a watch dog and he has to save the weird crystal people. He goes through the alphabet king to get there, and so on.
