Top Ten Tuesday is a meme started on the Broke and the Bookish
blog. They set the topic, we make the lists. Visit their site to see more on this topic!
I would totally watch these:
Dresden Files by Jim Butcher: I know they tried to do this
one already. While they did an okay job
with Harry and Bob the Skull they ruined the rest of it. They may start over and redeem themselves.
Rot and Ruin by Jonathan Maberry: because we need more
zombie movies where the real danger is the people you meet not the zombies that
want to eat you.
The Gods of Gotham by Lyndsay Faye: Historical mystery
about the formation of city police and the many types of religion in New York City and the ignorance and prejudice directed towards people from people of
different variations of Christianity.
Little Brother by Cory Doctorow: Why yes! Homeland security and big government are
the villain in this book.
Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson: A book about ordinary
people killing superheroes who have gone corrupt.
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline: They could do a really
fun visual with this one like the original Wizard of Oz movie where the real
world is all sepia tones and the virtual world is all brightly colored. As so much of the book is explaining
virtual objects and protocol and backtracking the “history” of the world, it
would be hard to do.
Sandman by Neil Gaiman: (storyboards already done.) I love
how Dreams, the main character, shifts facial features. He rarely looks the same in a page of panels.
Maus by Art Spiegelman: The world could always use a great
holocaust story… with Mice!
Bonus number 11: As a
staff we would like to see a remake of Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine because
the book is not like that at all. The
book is wonderful and should be read by everyone and the movie watched by no
one. (This is not a commentary on the actors in anyway. They are lovely in other things.)
What book would you love to see transformed into a movie or show?

Ashfall would be totally awesome! :) And Steelheart would fill the gap left in me by Smallville, which hasn't been filled by that bad show 'Arrow.' Just no. Great list!

Oh yes, a second try with Dresden Files would be awesome! I liked Harry and Bob in it, too, although of course Bob was much changed. I never quite got why they switched Susan to a blonde and Murphy to Latino...
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sandman and Rot & Ruin as well. I have Little Brother on my shelf but haven't read it yet.
