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

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

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...

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.
 Hey. Is that a roll of dimes in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

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. |

G'day!

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. Kurt Vonnegut vs. Hollywood: The Odd Crossroads of Film and Vonnegut - Signature Reads Too bad....would make a great movie, if done properly.....
