A couple. Chas Send a noteboard - 04/06/2010 02:16:34 AM
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?


1. Watership Down. The existing examples all suck.

2. The Enchanted Forest Chronicles. Though judging by what was done to The Dark is Rising...maybe not.

3. Perdido Street Station or Un Lun Dun. Those would just be funky cool to see.

4. Blade of Tyshalle/Heroes Die. Large sections of those would make excellent action movies.

2. What would you least like to see (things that haven't yet been adapted)?


Nothing in particular I don't think. I've given up caring whether something has been adapted well or not.


Slightly related:

Do you prefer to see plays on the stage or on film? (I mean film versions of the plays, not stage performances that have been filmed.)


I've never really seen many plays (on stage or in film) but I suspect the answer would end up being on stage.

After finishing a book I never really think "gosh that would make a good film" Mark - 04/06/2010 01:35:19 PM 860 Views
I do sometimes. Mostly with thrillers or the like. Rebekah - 05/06/2010 04:13:27 PM 819 Views
Luhrman largely stuck to Shakespeare's dialogue, though... and that worked amazingly well imho. *NM* Legolas - 05/06/2010 04:25:08 PM 389 Views
