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.

ADSOM needs a movie. Badly.
Also, The Girl Who Drank the Moon would make a pretty good movie.

@Jwyn School for Good and Evil is going to be a movie!!
Also a book that would make a SUPER good movie is Jack Blank and the Imagine Nation

* Clears Throat* I think they're making a NEW PERCY JACKSON MOVIE: THE LOST HERO!!!!!!! I freaked out about that. It better be good. And Leo NEEDS to be funny. Jason shouldbe blonde, and Piper shouldbe pretty, but not girly. AND THALIA MUST NOT BE FORGOTTEN.

NO WAY NO WAY NO WAY!!!!!
THEIR MAKING A LOST HERO!!!???? I SWEAR IF THEY MESS THIS ONE UP, I WILL EMAIL THE MOVIE MAKERS TO YELL AT THEM!!!!!!!
alright I'm done with the caps, but to add on to your post, (I swear if Jason ends up being brunett like Annabeth was in the lightning theif, I'm going to be REALLY mad) I hope Jason looks something like luke from tlt, but I guess that might be hard for casting, but still.

@Codesmith I AGREE ENTIRELY

I just saw Eragon, and I liked it, but I was also pretty disappointed. They changed a lot of things from the book, and left out a lot of little details that would have made it way better. Honestly, it felt like they were trying to pack a long book into an hour-and-a-half long movie (because they were) and I think if they had made it longer and put in all those extra parts they cut, it would have been way better. The special effects and CGI also could have been better. So yeah, I would love a remake of that, and then of course movies for the rest of the series.
Also, they need to make a fourth Divergent movie! You can’t just end a movie with a cliffhanger like that and then not make another movie!
@Aspen, Yessssss I feel you. I’m always so scared they’re gonna mess up a book when they make a movie of it, because they often change so many things and sometimes they ruin it completely. But if they did KOTLC right, it would be so epic.

How about (Possibly even re-making the first one.... it didn't keep the whole "YO THE MAIN CHARACTER IS A JEEEEERK, DEAL WITH IT, SHE GETS BETTER. Thing where character development is a thing) making THE REST OF THE 'HIS DARK MATERIALS' SERIES?
I mean, you just cannot end it like that. It was done very well, honestly, and though they didn't keep a lot of the things I liked in the book, it was still a good movie. Continueing it with that same style that was a theme, the air of steampunky-but-way-better-than-actual-steampunk-vibe was interesting and was not in the books. And continueing it until the end.... oh..... yeah, I guess it might be abit CONTROVERSIAL to people. You know, the whole last book sort of..... well, you could see he was having fun with it. I just love how he vilinizes SO MANY THINGS in it that are not often vilinized. So good. Just don't take it super seriously. AHEM.
But wouldn't you think the Goose Girl would be a good animated movie? Like, drawing animated? I will always love that style of animation. Just. Perfect. I like it just a TWEENSY bit better than computer-animated stuff.
Speaking of not-good-live-action-idea-films, apparently the live-action version of The Last avatar was pretty bad. Was it? I didn't really like the snippets I saw of it in its trailers, so......

Well, personally I'm waaaaaaay more into books than movies, and usually feel that movies ruin it, but I actually think that making Keeper of the Lost Cities into a movie would be pretty cool. Probably not gonna happen, especially since the abilities would be so complicated, and the settings, but still. Also, nothing to do with this thread, but I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT BOOK IN KOTLC FLASHBACK EEEEEEEE! anyway, yeah.
Velia says rnwv. Run away? yeah, i usually run away from movies-stolen-from-books too. XD. JK!

Mr Lemoncellos Great Library Race
