Books you'd want to make into a movie
 
too many different folders this would fit in, so it goes in here



Ok, if you could make any book (or short story I guess) into a movie, what would it be?

Personally, I'd adapt The Colour Out of Space. Or maybe Illusions by Richard Bach. But mostly Colour Out of Space

Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman

Actually, anything by Terry Pratchett.

Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz. I'm not really a Koontz fan, but I loved that book. It so made me cry. Currently, I'm reading the sequel. It's pretty good so far.

The rights have been bought by Warner Bros, however Id really like to see Cirque du Freak movie made sometime soon. They've had the rights for a few years, and no progress yet...


Great thread, Ill think of some more later

Oh, I can't believe I forgot this.
Since I want to make a horror movie eventually, ever since I read it I've always wanted to make a really, really, REALLY graphic, horrific, obscene, unpleasent movie adaptation of the book Teratologist by Edward Lee.

Haunted would be a great film adaptation too... except for the whole masturbation chapter.

It's about a crazy millionare 'teratologist' (someone who studies birth defects and genetic malformations) who wants to defy and anger God so much that he'll show his face and, I guess, personally smite him. It's a fucked up book. And it's short, it's barely over 100 pages.
