Other movies?

[Legolam]

Here's a question:

What other fantasy books (not JRR's) should or should not be made into movies/serials?

[EverEve]

I'm not sure how good it would do, but THE BLUE SWORD by Robin Mckinley might make a really good movie.

[Mormegil]

They should definately make films out of Stephen King's Dark Tower books. They are really good and would make excellent films.

[Elwing]

I heard they were msking Pullman's dark materials trilogy into a movie but if not they would still make a good movie.

Have any of you seen the Time Machine? i haven't yet, but i always wanted them to make it into a movie. I would like to see a movie of the War of the Worlds too... I really like H.G. Wells.

I think they've already done War of the Worlds. It's prolly an old 40's-50's movie though.

I would love to see either Blue Sword or Hero and the Crown as movies, but RM has firmly said no.

I can't wait for Dinotopia and The Chronicles of Narnia to come out! Dinotopia is on ABC on May 4th as a hallmark movie, and C of N is coming out sometime in 2004, I believe.

I've always wanted to see the Dark is Rising Sequence as movies. The Tripod Series and Foundation too. The only problem is that they'd prolly mess them up, sigh.....

I've always thought that the Stainless Steel Rat could be the next James Bond type movie series.

I really hope thay are making a Philip Pullman movie, I love those books!!!!! The film wouldn't be as good as LOTR book it would be excellant!!!!!!!

[Legolam]

Does anyone remember the TV series that they made of Narnia? Those were brilliant! I remember taping them all and watching them as a kid when I was into all this stuff for the first time. Unfortunately, they didn't make all seven books into series, just a few (can't remember which ones now). Are they making a new version?

[Kit Baggins]

I had 'The Silver Chair', 'The lion, the witch and the wardrobe' and 'Prince Caspian' on video :D ! I don't know if they're making a new version though.

On the original topic; THE MYST TRILOGY!!!!!!!!!

~Kit :D
EDIT: Oh wait, they're already making MYST into a TV miniseries :o

[Talierin]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When's it coming out, Kit?

Yep, they are redoing CoN. I think they're going to make movies out of ALL the books this time. I love the old ones though.

I don't know. Someone posted a link about it over on MYSTcommunity, but I can't remember when it's coming out. All I know is it's on Sci-Fi.

I hunted around, and it's supposed to be done in 2003. Too bad it's on Sci Fi, that means I'll have to get me grandmum to tape it for me, heh... *mutters*

I'm hyped already, heehee...
