Battle of the Planets, but 7-Zark-7 would have to be a hot-ass geeky Japanese chick.

Hot L Baltimore

5th Element prequel or sequel.

Clerks III

Kill Bill 3

Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. And follow the @#$!! book. It doesn't need any screen writers, producers or directors adding anything.

Rendezvous with Rama - Arthur C. Clarke
Feersum Endjinn - Iain Banks
Voyage - Steven Baxter

They are making a Dark Tower movie this year. Hope its good.

King of the Mountain. Speedster replaced with Jack Olsen's car, Vette replaced with a ZR1.

Fleishman would be excellent. The rest blah...

How about, 'Sponge Bill Dress Pants - The Risa and Fall of the Clintons'... a pile of Pant Suit Nation supporters would fill the theatres...

YES.

Just... maybe not the subsequent books with the eagle people.

this might have morphed into a "book i gotta read" thread.

Saw on facebook (so it must be true!) that the Xanth series may begin production... guess this means I need to re-read the books...

Ever try the No Cheese version on You Tube ? No Jar Jar or goofy stuff.

Saw something called "the phantom edit" a while back. But thought Lucas co had done a thorough job of scrubbing all that stuff off the net. Will look for it Later tonight.

Somebody needs to re edit butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid to remove to godawful disco soundtrack.

Blood Meridian but the movie would prolly suck.

Fantastic Voyage but I fear it would be too action packed vs suspenseful. The original was super save the technical oversights like the ship left inside the guys head.

CGT has almost caught up with Nostrilila. Dune to the nth degree.

stranger in a strange land

Redo: Stephen King's The Stand. They should have done it with Christopher Walken. Instead they numbied it up with so much treacle you thought you were watching a chick flick.

Do: "The Red Platoon". One of the most vivid scenarios of war I've ever read (COP Keating in Afghanistan). Mel Gibson should direct. Fake tough guys like the Rock shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the set.

Sirens of Titan is an essential book in the Kurt Vonnegut bibliography. It was only his second published novel, yet many critics cite it as the book that hit upon the Kurt Vonnegut voice. A pulpy sci-fi plot about the luckiest man in a futuristic world who becomes embroiled in a Martian invasion of Earth, Sirens is also one of the few Vonnegut novels with a pretty straightforward linear narrative. Readers often wonder why it hasn’t been adapted into a movie. There’s a reason for that.

In 1983, Vonnegut sold the movie rights for Sirens of Titan to Jerry Garcia. Yes, that Jerry Garcia, lead singer and guitarist for the band Grateful Dead. For the next twelve years, until his death in 1995, Garcia claimed to be working on some aspect of a Sirens movie. But in a 1987 interview, the rocker admitted that his motive was more to prevent anyone from making a bad film based on the book. “I'm maintaining as much control over it as I can … to make sure that it doesn't fall into the hands of a hack” Garcia said in the interview, adding: “That's the thing I fear most.”

After Garcia’s death, and before his own demise, Vonnegut supposedly gave the rights and his blessing for an adaptation to screenwriter James V. Hart to write the adaption, but there’s been little mention since. So it’s safe to say that Garcia successfully prevented Hollywood from making a film out of Sirens.

Too bad....would make a great movie, if done properly.....
