Before you go wishing for another L Ron Hubbard adaptation, just remember the travesty that was "Battlefield: Earth". They took the first half of the book (The only good segment, I barely made it through the last 500 pages) and played some kind of sick prank on sci fi fans everywhere.
As for me, I'd love to see another adaptation of The Grapes of Wrath. Sure, it wouldn't beat the 1940 version but can you picture a better Tom Joad than Jim Caviezal? Or a better Preacher than Harry Dean Stanton?
Something else for the wishlist is an adaptation of Peter F. Hamilton's 3500+ page Night's Dawn trilogy. With:
Joshua Calvert - Jason Carter (Babylon 5)
Ralph Hiltch - Kiefer Sutherland
Syrinx - Michelle Branch (Don't ask me why, just think she'd be perfect)
Alkad Mzu - CCH Pounder
Quinn Dexter - Gary Sinise
Not that that movie will ever happen, but a man can dream...
