And I'd kill to see a "Legion of Super-Heroes" movie or cartoon!

I read that Billy Bob Thornton's favorite novel is A Confederacy of Dunces. Indeed it is a awesome read, and I'd like to see Mr. Thornton direct this film.

A Confederacy of Dunces is the 1980 winner of the Pulitzer Prize.

Every time I invite my dad to go see a movie with me , he says the only movie that would ever get him back in a theater is "Rocky vs. Rambo: For all the marbles." Time to start looking into nursing homes.

Me, I'd love a movie based on the "Fallout" RPG series.

Zotz

Its a series by Robert Jordan. The first book is 'The Eye of the World". Its a little slow in the begining but it picks up. I think there's now 10 books out.

Larry Niven's 'Ringworld' would be awesome on the big screen.
(If done properly)

or

Harry Turtledove's 'How few Remain', an alternate history story about the second war between the states. (Civil War II)

I'd like to see Snow Crash, Neuromancer, the World War series, Apcoylapse Troll, and Necromancer made into movies.

Zotz

Its been over ten years since I read "Friday" and "Stranger in a Strange Land". Both would make great films if they were done right. I wouldn't want to see them bastardized like the make over they gave Starship Troopers.

Total Geekboy says that he would like to see Timothy Zahn's Cobra books on the silver screen

Lots of good ones mentioned.

I'd like to see an Animal Farm movie.

I would like to see "Doom" as a movie. From the previews of Doom III, the movie would be pretty awesome.

cdwonderful

the Thomas Covenant trilogy.

As cool of an idea as that is, I think in practice, Hollywood would fuck it up and make a really crappy movie out of it.

I'm thinking System Shock 2. It would be a very psychotic and disturbing film.

Rainbow Six, need a new John Clark and Ding Chavez movie to break up the "Ryan"verse monotony. Also it would never work, Hollywierd would fuck it up faster than a fart in a windstorm but I'd really like to see an adaptation of Micheal Moorcock's Elric of Melnibone series on the big screen. That would be damn kewlies and L33T and whatever else the kids are using for "cool" these days

Great Scott

There was an amazing Star Trek book I once read (sorry I can't recall the title) about the maiden voyage of the original Enterprise with Captain Robert April commanding and Kirk's fater as first officer. It was an urgent rescue mission that was sabotoged by the Romulans even before any human had ever seen one. They have a chance to cripple the whole Romulan empire before it ever becomes a threat. From start to finish I always thought this book would make the best Star Trek movie ever.

Stranger in a Strange Land done per the uncut version of the book, with whatshisface (Darth Vader voice) as Jubal.

Snow Crash would make more sense. It's much more visually oriented. As I recall, he spends a lot of time setting up visual sequences, which could be saved if they can actually show them. They'd probably dump a lot of the Sumerian stuff, though.

I mean, imagine some of the scenes! Hiro in the inflatable building, after he finds that deposed president: decapitation, chase scene, everything. He'd look like Wolverine on his motorcycle.

Y.T.'s escape from the helecopter, or, better, her attack on the Federal building. That'd be fucking amazing!!

Neuromancer is part of a trilogy, so that'd be kinda tough. And it's not as good as Snow Crash, anyway.

denim

What I'd like to see is a remake of Puppet Masters by someone who could include the nudity from the book. But NOT NOT NOT the moron who did the Starship Troopers movie. God, that thing was painful.

denim

What a depressing idea! Sure, let's watch 6 movies about a leper who gets "transported" to a world which is his body incarnated in the form of a world.

Man, I've not been able to re-read that stuff for something like 15 years, but I used to be really in to it, so I guess I can see where you're coming from. It'd be a bunch of movies more about overcoming and growing than about leprocy per se.

denim

Unless they've already done one based on Methuselua's Children(sp!), it wouldn't make much sense. Have to do that one first.

Yes, and I could see Holywood doing a good job of this, too.

denim

Possibly over too many people's heads. I could see it as a TV series, kinda, though. Have it take the place of "Farscape" instead of that stupidity they have now. (sigh)

I mean, every season they'd have different tech. If each season was one "out and back" sequence, it would last what, 4 or 5 years?
