What books would you like to see filmed?

[Deena]

This answer is the one I always give on book related topics.  I would love to see someone make a film of any of Kerouac's work.  However, I don't think that anyone could capture everything that his books say, on film.

 Some pretty good titles. Dirty White Boys is set around my home town, Lawton OK. When I read the book it pretty much blew me away that someone had set a major novel in that area, and that I recognized alot of the locales. Almost made me want to go back.....almost.
 Hitchhiker's Guide.... would be pretty great, if, as you said it was well funded and well produced. Not likely. And I like all of Bret Easton Ellis' stuff...dunno why.

Even though there's no way it would pass the MPAA, a version of Stephen King's "The Long Walk" would be excellent. Get all the new brat packers in the Freddie Prince Jr. crowd getting picked off one by one, have Matthew Lilliard play Garrity and it could turn out well.

A big-budget Hitchhiker's Guide has been rumored "for some time now" as the saying goes.  Still, the low-budget TV series has a definite charm that's often lost in those big-budget monstrosities.

Hitchhiker's for sure. Also Brian Lumley's Necroscope, but only with a massive budget. Maybe a live-action Starship Troopers (Heinlen) that actually showed an understanding of the book?

I would like to see a big budget, but well done... version of the Douglas Adams Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy series.

Actually, the low-budget BBC T.V. version captured the humour and feel of the  material so well that I don't think they could really improve upon it

and pretty darn close to the original material

Which original? The books weren't the original.  The radio show was, I believe, and have some differences between later works and I don't even remember if the T.V. series or the books came next

The Foundation series by Asimov

Agreed but the'd have to stop with "Foundation's Edge".  Anything later than that would pretty much require the Robot Novels as well.

I'd like to see them do Stinger by Robert McCammon, as well as Hell-O-Ween by David Robbins.
