We had a thread like this back in '05. Interesting to see old suggestions and which ones actually got made. I saved it a year back or so cuz I was going to go through and do a big update post.

Snow Crash is an interesting one. I think you'd need to explain in the opening crawl how old that book is to make people understand how crazily prescient it was.
Someone mentioned Zelda, so let's stay along the video game trend..
Metroid. Samus played by ... not sure I could just pick one girl for the role..

I wrote something about a year back on FOH about how i would like to see a 40k movie, still sad i didn't save it.
Old man Logan......only downside is, the perfect guy to play the lead is clint eastwood 20 years ago, and jeff bridges as blind hawkeye.
And i am still hoping they do a 2 or 3 part spiderman, Kraven's Last Hunt....

Yeah, Eyes would make a killer movie I think. I think film might actually enhance the story, I don't think King did a good enough job illustrating Peter's struggles.

I thought that.. then I went to Scarlett Johanssen, then to the chick from Girl Next Door.. but she's have to have a muscular build and those 3 are great to paint a map of Hawaii on, but no braun. I'd want my Samus as a serious ass kicker. Not an obvious stunt-harness user.
That description cracks me up. There's a whole other (kinda shitty) half of that book. Ideally that wouldn't be part of the movie though.

A few fairly obvious ones I think.
Booster Gold movie.
The Rogues movie. Almost shocked there isn't a supervillian movie yet.
Neverending story. I find it funny the movie that was all about the story never ending as long as its retold over and over. has not gotten a remake with hollyhood being pretty close to creatively bankrupt. (legal reasons is why it hasn't, they did try apparently)
I'd like to see some near future sci fi that ISN"T cave man Sci fi. "Me am play gods, me am go too far!"
where are the dreams of the future?

The Age of Apocalypse or the Days of Future Past X-Men storylines, but more like Watchmen than what Fox has been shitting out. The focus should really be on the villains and the fucked up situation more than the particular heroes. There are entirely too many superhero movies releasing these days, but they're often quite bland. I think Watchmen and The Dark Knight are the standouts of this wave of superhero films.

I'm at the point where I think an HBO/AMC/Showcase television miniseries would do a better job at handling my favorite books and games. Two hour movies are just not enough time for some of the great stories out there, and HBO has set the bar extremely high.
With that said, I'd like to see a prequel to Game of Thrones, detailing Robert's rebellion. Also the Dunk and Egg books would be amazing to see.
I wouldn't object if a real writer re-did the first three Star Wars movies with a totally different story/history.

Taltos of course and much props to the BBC. I would especially like the episode where he is comparing everything to the stages of a fine meal. Although the one where this scene happens is like Dumas if he had wrote a fantasy book with an assassin crime lord main character.
From The Phoenix Guards, when Khaavren and his five companions face down an entire army of Easterners.
You: "There are ten thousand of you, and six of us."
Them: "What of it, sir?"
You: "How? You cannot be here to invade, therefore..."
Them: "But, my lord, why can we not?"
You: "Well, because as you have done us the honor to observe, there are six of us."
Them: "Well, and?"
You: "Therefore, you perceive, you are outnumbered."
And same scene but further along.
Your Party "But," said Pel, "should we not ask them to move, first? It would be polite."
Your Party "I think we should charge them," said Tazendra, who we must add, had not had a fight in some time.
