Here's a few short snips about things talked about throughout the thread..
A wrinkle in time was made into a miniseries in 2003, I didn't think it was that great but kids seem to enjoy it..
I also enjoyed the Stand miniseries.
I can't really believe there hasn't been another Chuck Palahniuk novel turned into a film.
Also, on the topic of Neil Gaiman, I haven't read Good Omens but Sandman could make a good movie. [Also Neil wrote the screenplay for MirrorMask that comes out this tuesday(feb. 14th...) which I'll talk more about in my "on DVD this week" thread... Now there's an advertisement if I ever saw one..]
I'd like to see Redemption of Althalus by David Eddings turned into a movie. It may not be the best book, but It's one of my favorites. The movie covers deserts, forests, Mountains even an ice age so there is always different scenery. I also like that the main character is far from perfect. There's one thing I don't think would be good in the movie is that the lead female character is a cat.. Not a lion, or tiger.. A cat. I just don't think it'd be as accepted on screen as it was on paper.
