Colodia: A Revolution

walkers, that would be a wicked horror movie if they stick to how it is in the book every time i read this i look at my floor to make sure no one is in the concret following me.

well uh, Atlas Shrugged- but really long and not crappy

and on the same note, the Fountainhead with Brad Pitt...
EDIT: I know the fountainhead was already a movie, I only want to see it remade because he wants to do it
and he is awesome

Slaughterhouse five.

The Life of Jesus..... as told from the perspective of the Qu'ran.

Biopic of Simon Bolivar

Oh and it's be quite nice if one of my own screenplays hit the big screen one day :wink:

How about Brian Lumley's vampires? Necrescope.

Civil War, Guns and Roses

I too would also like to see Atlas Shrugged made into a movie. The Lord of the Rings proved that you could take a really long story, split it into three, three hour long pieces and make it a success. You'd probably have to do a similar thing to Atlas Shrugged to do it justice. Ayn Rand believed that you could do justice to Atlas Shrugged if it were at least 8 hours long.

However, I think The Fountainhead is a better story than Atlas Shrugged. You'd probably have to split it into two, three hour pieces to do it justice. I think Russell Crowe or Adrien Brody would make a better Howard Roark than Brad Pitt and I think that Joaquain Phoenix would make an excellent Peter Keating.

I'd also like to see an Anime version of Anthem made into a movie.

It was made in 1972 Directed by George roy Hill
Starring Michael Sachs, Ron Leibman and Valerie Perrine
I think you might still be able to buy it from Amazon

Either a live-action adaptation of Katsuhiro Otomo's Domu: Dreams of Children, or Star Wars: Episode VII

They are making Atlas Shrugged.

that is an excellent choice for Keating. Half of why I think Pitt would be so great is because he wants to do it, and because he has been spending all of his free time architechting. He also wants to make it 6 hours. I don't really like Russell Crowe that much (and it would be so silly for him to be Roark to Phoenix's Keating), but Adrien Brody would be pretty interesting. Brad Pitt does have that problem that he's known as a sex symbol already- not very Howard Roark of him!

They are making Atlas Shrugged.
ah....why I specified long and not crappy

How about " Metal Gear Solid"

They are making Atlas Shrugged.

Clint Eastwood should direct Atlas Shrugged. Not only is he a great director he is also a Libertarian and I believe he could do the film justice even if it were only three hours.

I suppose if the 'in' thing in films is to adapt a huge book/s and create a franchise, then Ursula Le Guin's Chronicles of Earthsea might be fun to see.

Oh my GOD !!!! I love those books. I own 3 differrent editions of each of the originals and all of the new stuff. I read the entire series about once a year.

R.L. Stine's Superstitious has a lot of gore and explicit sex scenes and would probably make a good horror movie.

Mmmm, I loved the series too, but haven't read them in a few years. Damn good imagination that woman. Dispossessed is really good too.

If any original film was to come out, I'd love to see (or make) a movie just of two mates walking and talking. No music (excpet for the credits) and taken in one shot. Yup the entire movie in one camera shot. Ambitious, I admit, but it would be damn cool.

I think I'd also like to see a magical non-Disneybastardised version of Winnie the Pooh.

Wonderful idea! If it was drawn in the original style (http://www.library.pitt.edu/libraries/is/enroom/illustrators/images/shepard/chris.gif) of E. H. Shepard, and went into the Taoist philosophies (http://www.just-pooh.com/tao.html) behind dear Pooh's thoughts, it would be perfect.

"When you wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet at last, "what's the first thing you say to yourself?"
"What's for breakfast? said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?"

"I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet.

Pooh nodded thoughtfully.

"It's the same thing," he said.

A. A. Milne

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. But its coming next year 8)


So I guess some sort of North Korean slapstick comedy would be cool.

I'd love to see James Ellroy's "American Tabloid" made into a movie.

philip pullmans dark material triology

terry pratchetts disc world series

and possibly a decent version of final fantasy

I'd like to see a lot of books made into movies, but maybe first I'd like to see

The Lost Queen of Egypt by Lucile Morrison made into a movie. Excellent story, excellent subject.. Then maybe The Folk of the Air by Peter S. Beagle...

I'm just a frustrated reader who's read too many great books that are usually overlooked for hollywood fodder.

There are simply too many sci-fi novels to name that I'd like made into movies.

I'd like to see Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series made into a series of movies.

I have heard that there are plans to make a movie from A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. LeGuin. I'd pay to see that.

Splinter Cell was based off a Tom Clancy book right? Well make the book into a movie (or maybe Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six)
