The first question is hard. Legolas Send a noteboard - 03/06/2010 09:44:42 PM
Following on from the question on Film to Book adapations, here are some questions about the reverse.

1. What book would you most like to see adapted to film or TV?

I can't really think of anything that hasn't been already, to be honest... although I'm looking forward a lot to Game of Thrones if that counts.
2. What would you least like to see (things that haven't yet been adapted)?

This one on the other hand is easy. The Silmarillion. In a "they mustn't ever do it" way, that is, not in the "I wouldn't watch it if they made it" way.
Slightly related:

Do you prefer to see plays on the stage or on film?

Stage, though I haven't seen many these past years, there was a time I saw way more plays...

After finishing a book I never really think "gosh that would make a good film" Mark - 04/06/2010 01:35:19 PM 1098 Views
I do sometimes. Mostly with thrillers or the like. Rebekah - 05/06/2010 04:13:27 PM 1036 Views
Luhrman largely stuck to Shakespeare's dialogue, though... and that worked amazingly well imho. *NM* Legolas - 05/06/2010 04:25:08 PM 488 Views
