According to IMDB.com the 2nd book in the Mortal Instruments series is being made into a movie but who knows how accurate IMDB.com actually is as I guess City of Bones didn't do so well in the theaters. We shall see.

As for James Patterson, it is more I wanted different books made into movies and it isn't any of his series books. The individual stand alones I enjoyed more like Swimsuit or Kill Me If You Can. As for the ones made into movies/TV movies, I loved Kiss the Girls but hated Sunday's at Tiffany's.

I'd really like to see the continuation of the I Am Number 4 series made into movies, but like City of Bones it didn't do to well in the theaters.

Kiss the Girls was my least favorite of the ones I've seen. THAT needs to be remade. The movie had so many things wrong with it in terms of the story and characters. Alex Cross is a young guy, with two young kids, living with his grandmother, and yet Morgan Freeman was the best option?

James Patterson has a way of building suspense in a book that is really hard to match in a movie, hence the reason I don't want them turning any more of his books into movies; not until someone finds a way to get it right, anyway. I always go in expecting a 'Silence of the Lambs'-type thriller and I leave disappointed every time.
