Lightbulb What books would make good movies?


The title says it itself.


First off, I know Ender's Game is already being made somewhere, but the whole Ender series, even Bean's side of it all would be awsome. I mean I already read 2 books this past month (all about 380pgs), all where from Bean's side of life, now working on the last of thm all, Shadow Puppets. These books are as close to movie comparison you'll ever get. Its scifi, thriller, little romance (bleh, Petra keeps coming onto Bean), its like really kool. If you haven't read any of the books, read em now. Starting with Ender's Game and just skip his side of the series and jump righ into the Shadow ones (Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon, Shadow Puppets).

Really REALLY good books that deserve to all be in the box office.

sry me grammar is probably really bad but i'm in a small rush


k, your turn

Michael Crichton traditionally sucks on the big screen. May I direct your attention to Jurrasic Park, Jurrasic Park 2, Sphere, and the worst movie ever, Congo.

I always though the Dragonlance Chronicals trilogy would make a good fantasy film.

I have to say that most of the stuff that I read wouldn't translate well to film.

The Paris Option looks like it would go nicely on the silver screen.

Why?
-It's High tech
-It's a Techno thriller
-It's got gun fights, and lot's of action

IMO Techno Thriller books make the best movies.
