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.

aaaah yes I agree with what everyone's said so far. 

no one's written about this yet I think, so the Legacy of Orïsha trilogy (Children of Blood and Bone etc). Apparently Tomi Adeyemi wants it to be made into a movie which would be great especially if she works on it herself (because in my opinion if an author's on the development team the movie quality is much better). 

um. Oh yes Bartimaeus would be AMAZING as a movie series if it was done well, though it would require a lot of CGI I guess. Hey, actually, Bartimaeus would make a good TV series as well. huh...

The Hobbit wasn't very good, so I think they should reboot that, with the same cast and everything, but different choices on other stuff.

also I would literally DIE to see Angelina Jolie as the House Kore matriarch and Tom Hiddleston as Hypnos in a movie version of The Guilded Wolves, which, personally, is prime candidate for film adaptation.

Land of Stories is such a good series! Kinda shook they haven't made movies out of it.

Ok, heres mine:

1: The Whatever After series.

2: Girl Meets World season 2, episode one NEEDS to be redone!!! Why? Because my crush is in there. He's in the second classroom that Riley and Maya are transferred in becuase HE ONLY HAS TWO LINES AND HE'S ON THERE FOR ONLY 10 SECONDS!!!!!!!!!!!

3: Dork Diaries needs to be a series like Diary of A Wimpy Kid.

And finally 4: Minecraft: Xenos Chronicles need to be a movie!!

2: The Unicorn Chronicles, (THIS IS A GREAT SERIES!)

3: Wings of Fire

4: The Monster At The End of This Book (It's a Sesame Street book, but I'd be amazed to see it on tv. ITS SO CUTE!)

5: The Girl Who Drank The Moon

6: Pax

7: TUCK EVERLASTING (I HAVE NO CLUE IF THIS IS A MOVIE BUT I JUST DON'T WANNA LOOK IT UP)

OH MY GOSH A WINGS OF FIRE MOVIE WOULD BE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I woud love that so much.

Also I used to like A Snicker Of Magic a lot, so that would be cool to see in a movie.

I think that Wings Of Fire would make a better TV show since the books are so serial.

And the Pudding's Place-ers are thinking of making a Septimus Heap animation (FYI).

Ooh, I have lots! (If some of these actually have movies that I don’t know about, please please please let me know!)

- Artemis Fowl series (Eion Colfer)

- Mysterious Benedict Society series (Trenton Lee Stewart)

- Ranger’s Apprentice series (John Flanagan), though it might work better as a TV series

- Princess Academy (??)

- Throne of Glass series (Sarah Maas) 

- Fish in a Tree (Lynda Mullaly Hunt) 

- Ella Enchanted definitely needs a redo!

YES! TOTALLY MYSTERIOUS BENEDICT SOCIETY!!! Also fish in a tree would be good but I feel like if it was a movie it would end up kind of cheesy (assuming we're thinking of the same book....)

Ranger's Apprentice by John Flanagon. Except I feel like they would ruin Halt. And they wouldn't do the cloaks right.

Hi- 

I don't know if any of you have read these but the Keeper of the Lost Cities (KotLC) series by Shannon Messenger should definitely be made into (a) movie/s.
