Books That Should Be Adapted To Movies
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

The Giver hasn't been made into a film?

I Think It's Almost Ready...I Think...
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

has been up for a few years now.

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.

Fantastic
I'm glad I Am Legend is being adapted.
I think Arnold Schwarzenegger was suppose to start in a version somewhere in the 1990's.

^^^That would have been interesting. I like Will Smith though; he kind of turns the premise of the book on its ear a bit.
