Books That Should Be Adapted To Movies

[Jamal5000]

Gentlemen,

Can you think of some books that you can't believe Hollywood or the Indy companies keep overlooking as great ideas for movies? I think of a bunch:

Maniac Magee By Jerry Spinelli

The Giver By Lowis Lowry

The Green Futures of Tycho by William Sleator

The Magic Grandfather By Jay Williams

Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator By Roald Dahl

The Autobiography of An Ex-Colored Man By James Weldon Johnson

Wolfrider by AVI

Survivor By Chuck Pahluniuk

The Giver hasn't been made into a film?

[Jamal5000]

Pike,

Hey, I think you are on to something there.

I checked IMDB and Jeff Bridges is suppose to be bringing an adaptation of The Giver to the screen...this year, I think.

Let's cross our fingers. It's a fabulous book. Have you read it?

Keep Smiling,
Reggie

So true. I think a lot of E. Lynn Harris or Zane's books (if toned down some) would make good movies. The drama in those books are priceless.

Yes! That would be so good.

I think Kimberla Lawson Roby's books would be good movies.

I've given up hope on the movie and the sequel. I think this message

My very own Soror CT4 could make her book, Freshman Focus into a movie.

I have been saying for years that I Am Legend by Richard Matheson needed an updated version. Now, in December of this year, they are releasing a new version starring Will Smith no less.

I am really waiting for them to make one of Laurell K. Hamilton's novels into a movie.
