what book would you like to see made into a movie?

[vash]

looks like they are getting close to my wish. i saw a preview for a new X-men movie. i read a book called WEAPON X, which is the story on the beginning of wolverine. great fun, fast read. the new movie seems close, but is called something else. has some new players like Gambit.

another great movie would be do a Mitch Rapp movie, based on the CIA books from Vince Flynn. mitch would make jason bourne look like a girl. (i am joking)

what else?

Ender's Game

"Picture This", by Joseph Heller.

I'd go, but that might be it.

Atlas Shrugged - supposedly it's being made. We'll see. (yes we are living it)
Elric - someone owns the rights
The Hobbit - also to be made

I can't see Angelina Jolie as Dagny Taggert. Neither her looks nor her politics line up well with the role IMO.

Victor Pelevin's Omon Ra.

Cronenberg directing Martin Amis' London Fields.

I'd like to see A Clockwork Orange remade.

The original film, while great, ends before the book does, and it is that final bit that really communicates the purpose of the story.

"License Renewed", the first John Gardner James Bond book (after Ian Fleming died). Don't know why they never made that one into a movie. It was awesome.

Clancy's The Cardinal and the Kremlin

I generally hate it when my favorite books are made into movies. The Lord of the Rings is a perfect example. I understand when they have to cut 2/3 of the book out, but Peter Jackson didn't like the way Tolkien did some things so he just changed them. Like having the elves come save the day at Helm's Deep instead of the Ents and Huorns. The elves had been withdrawing from contact with other races for thousands of years, had been slowly leaving middle earth, and their armies didn't leave their forests until after the Ring was destroyed.

If that were the only major change Jackson had made I could live with it, but it was one of many. Don't get me started about the orcs that could crawl walls like spider-man in Moria. Or how orcs were portrayed as much more deadly, capable fighters, and the members of the fellowship less capable fighters then they were in the books. And the list goes on and on.

So I really don't want any more of my favorite books made into movies.

Was just gonna say this and also m21Sniper's. But they must be done right! Clancy's other stories that were made into movies were barely recognizeable.

Enders Game may or may not be in the works, depending. Been posted to slashdot a few times.
