Well... Jacob Send a noteboard - 16/06/2010 06:27:48 PM
1. What book would you most like to see adapted to film or TV?

Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan
Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson
A better Harry Dresden adaptation (if wishes could come true with a Firefly aged Nathan Fillion as Harry).


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


I like your Dresden wish. Although I'm not sure about how Nathan Fillion's looks would work. I thought the chap they had was actually a good Dresden physically.

I love your answer to number 2.


I've always been a little less concerned about the looks of a character than the actor's ability to portray the character. Fillion's ability to really embody a cantankerous, good-hearted, hard knocked, good guy with a dark streak... and humor, would be perfect for the role.

After finishing a book I never really think "gosh that would make a good film" Mark - 04/06/2010 01:35:19 PM 1118 Views
I do sometimes. Mostly with thrillers or the like. Rebekah - 05/06/2010 04:13:27 PM 1058 Views
Luhrman largely stuck to Shakespeare's dialogue, though... and that worked amazingly well imho. *NM* Legolas - 05/06/2010 04:25:08 PM 496 Views
