What do you want to see as a tv show/movie? And why?

TFTNT Andie A Kate Daniels tv-series or movie would be awesome - think it would be epic with the special effects capabilities they have now.

Stay to the Lights

I'm still waiting on an update on Vampire Academy

I would say Fever, but its already optioned from Dreamworks

Did you guys hear the Hollows have been developed into a TV series?

I would love.. Night Huntress to be turned into a TV series.

Smaug

My most loved series I wouldn't want to remember in any other way than how I know them already. In my minds eye. It's tough, as to see them alive in film or TV would be brilliant but I have the characters already and I have the way they look and interact in my head. To see them another way would almost annoy me I think.

It's the dilemma everyone goes through when their favourite book series is made into TV or a Film. There's the hesitation to see it created as someone else wants to see it.

Sometimes it works out very well (Lord of the Rings) sometimes it falls flat (Earthsea) and ruins the books. It gives people the idea that if that was the interpretation of the books then the books can't be that good either...

That's a very good point - no movie can ever be as good as your imagination. But sometimes it does further or re-kindle interest in the story (see: LoTR, and, to a lesser degree, Chronicles of Narnia), which isn't a bad thing. So it is a dilemma.

Smaug

I'd have to say I didn't enjoy the movie version of the Chronicles of Narnia. This is a perfect example of how people see things differently. The adaptation I love is the BBC version that was released when I was a kid. Fantastic and beautifully made.

My favourite fantasy story is The Elenium and The Tamuli series. It would lend itself marvelously to a TV series but I would be so worried that the relationships that creep through the story would be ignored, or the subtle humour... or that the only focus would be on the massive battles. All these little worries. But then if I was to make the show, script it, etc then I'm sure that someone else out there would say "But they should have done it this way!"

Complete dilemma!!

The early Anita Blake series were good - until it turned into soft core porn

I would love it if the "Dragonriders of Pern" books could be made into a TV or movie series, but the design of the dragons would be crucial. They can't be like any of the concepts we've seen so far.

Chris

Totally agree with you there.

deathly_smirk

You got a shock too, huh?

Thanks for bumping this

Chris

Yes. It's a shame because I enjoyed her storylines.

deathly_smirk

So do I - I mean the first book I accidentally read was Bloody Bones

wickedrum

I'd like them to continue Eragon. It was supposed to, but then they must've decided the movie wasn't successful enough.

Chris

I haven't read the Eragon series.
