      Books I'd like to see on the big screen or TV screen:
      "Polar the Titanic Bear" (such a sad true story)
      "Blacksad" (awesome comic book series)
      "Tracks" by David Galef (could be a hilarious family comedy)
      "A Book Dragon" by Donn Kushner
      "Up Country" by Alden R. Carter
      "Snow Treasure" by Marie McSwigan

    Honestly, I rather have these books to be made into a television series just to give more time to develop the character and it's world instead of adapting into a movie. Just finished His Dark Materials and I can tell that it's better for the book to be adapt into TV series instead of turning it into a movie

    When I was a teenager, I read "The Last Vampire," book series by Christopher Pike. (The series is now known as "Thirst.") For years, I've thought that there should be movie adaptations of the books. I would love to see a live-screen version of Alisa Perne (aka Sita).

    @TeamRemForever Před 3 lety

    My #1 choice is Utopia 58 by Daniel Arenson. I read it two years ago, and it turned out to be one of the best books that I've ever read!!!! Daniel Arenson is my favorite author. If you haven't read Utopia 58, I HIGHLY recommend it!!!!!!! It has the words "movie adaptation" written all over it!!!
    Here's the synopsis:
    Imagine a perfect society. A world with no racism, sexism, or ageism. A utopia.
    In Utopia 58, everyone is equal. Everyone must be equal.
    Too beautiful? A mask will hide that pretty face. Too tall? We'll saw your legs down to size. Too male or female? The surgeon's knife will fix that. Too smart? A buzzer in your skull will drown out all that pesky thinking. You will be equal. Like it or not.
    Utopia 58, built atop the ruins of North America, created perfect harmony. A society with no race, gender, or age. Pure equality.
    KB209 was born into this utopia. He has no true name. No past. No future. He is one among millions. The same.
    One day, at a propaganda rally, KB209 glimpses an act of startling defiance. A citizen with painted toenails. A woman in a genderless society. Color in a black and white world.
    When KB209 confronts her, he is drawn into an underground rebellion. A movement that dares to dream. That dares to say: "We are unique. We are individuals. We will be free!"

    I Want The Red Queen to be make into either a movie, or a show! I had read the whole book series, and I loved it. It would be great if Netflix got a chance to make it. The books was so far off from the Game of Thrones, since the book series ended with Cal being a king, and an rightful ruler of the whole series. Since he was a son of The original monarchs of the books, and his step mother had murdered his mother while back, by spreading slenderous roumers about her. The murder of the father was by her, and her son(cal's half brother), and created chaos to establish their reign.
