Hey everyone! So

Chatterbox: Blab About Books

Books that should be made into movies
Hey everyone! So...

Hey everyone! So I was wondering if anyone has a favorite book that they want to be made into a movie. Or a favorite book that has been made into a movie, but needs a remake. 

P.S. Comic books count.

***WARNING*** my list is long so be prepared. Also, they aren't in any specific order by preference.

1. The Lunar Chronicles(it would need to be a TV show)

2. The Goose Girl and the rest of the Books of Bayern

3. The Search for Wondla

4. The rest of the Percy Jackson series(ya know what, just redo the whole thing)

5. Ella Enchanted(THEY NEED TO DO A REMAKE I WAS SO DISAPPIONTED)

6. Inkspell and Inkdeath, the last books in the Inkheart trilogy

7. The rest of the Inheritance cycle

8. Counting By 7's

9. Spirit Animals(I know it might be below my age group but I still feel like it would make a good kids movie)

10. Sister to the Wolf

11. Renegades

12. The Witch of Blackbird Pond

13. The rest of the Spiderwick Chronicles 

 

That's all I can think of for now, but let me assure you there are a lot more.

I agree so much about Ella Enchanted. I came to the movie expecting Ella's amazing world, but just got,  well... Someone else's ideas and (bad in my opinion) version of her world filled with modern things and just ridiculous ideas that had nothing to do with the original story line. Yes, the "kill the prince" plot was interesting, but they broke her curse too soon. 

Everything was too modern, honestly, and even though a lot of those things and the additions were to make it a better and more likeable movie, it dissapointed me.

I don't think the Ella Enchanted movie was that bad. Sure, the book was better, but, you know...

YES! The Lunar Chronicles and the WondLa trilogy would make EPIC movies. I was also disappointed with Ella Enchanted.

I was so mad about Ella Enchanted. You know, they were planning to make a movie of Counting by 7s with Quvenzhane Wallis (the actress who played Annie in the new Annie) but I don't think they went anywhere with it.

Awww. Counting by 7s would make a good movie. Though usually the book is better than the movie, so I'd probably end up being disappointed anyway.

Yes, I agree SO MUCH about Percy Jackson! The movies they made aren't that good, and I really want to see movies of the rest of the series, especially the HoO series, which I really liked. Also, they should make movies of the Land of Stories and Sisters Grimm series.

I agree SO MUCH with the spirit animals and rest of the Spiderwick Chronicles!

I would also just love if The Candymakers was made into a movie. Both books. They are pretty much my favorite books after the Harry Potter series.

The Explorer's Guild. It's a little known book but it would be AMAZING as a movie. That and the original Secret Wars comics if that counts.

AAAUUGGH REDO ME SOME HARRY POTTER!!!!!!!!

Also they need to make the Unwanteds series into movies. And My Diary From the Edge of the World. Although that would be very hard to turn into a movie.
