I think the only way to do Stephen King's The Dark Tower, would be through stylized animation. Presented straight, the western/fantasy setting would look silly, and the story's more maudlin elements, would be unbearable. Epic storytelling demands epic visuals.

I nearly did a happy dance when I found this on Rotten Tomatoes. I enjoyed The Bridge to Terabithia so much more after I was in high school, than when they forced us to read it in middle school. So much potential with the people involved in the production and the book itself. Can't wait!

'Bridge to Terabithia' movie



Maybe they should consider the special effects team from this one for The Life of Pi, eh, Shesus? :D

Fredweena, I'm hoping that the special effects are good. But I have faith in the director...his movies are always fantastic imo. :)
To bad you aren't closer, I'd make a date for opening night of Life of Pi with you. :)

fredweena: Hopefully it's better than this one:

I really don't know why they're making that book into a movie again. I never really got excited by the fantasy land; the whole book is about the kids trying to escape from their bad lives and then death. It's a real fucking downer. I need a drink just thinking about it. Why the hell is that a children's book?

Sorry. That book just really depressed me when I was 12 or so and I never really came to terms with it.

And

Stranger in a Strange Land

Ringworld would also be wicked cool

a better version of Fahrenheit 451 would be refreshing

2007, right? Maybe I'll have to travel, but that would make me end up crossing the Mason-Dixon again. :lol:

I moved over the Mason-Dixon line. It wasn't too painful, you just have to be careful because they only let you cross it 3 times and then you have to stay. ;)

Good Omens. BUt only because we've been teased with a Terry Gilliam version of it for so long. Looks like it won't get any backing to get made, though.

Since Hollywood loves to re-make old movies and can't or don't get many
new ideas...I'd like to see a new version of "The Story of O". I would
like to see an unknown actress in the main part and the location be in
England or France.
