what book would you like to see as a movie
Runs_With_Scissors:
Hey, whatever happened to the Artemis Fowl movie? I thought that was supposed to come out , like, 2 years ago (or more).
jimbunny:
I'll tell you what books Sci-Fi channel should have stayed the fuck away from.
I hear there's a Studio Ghibli film on the books, though I think it'll be a while until I can get my hands on it.
Really, what Terry Pratchett said about Neil Gaiman in the afterward to Good Omens is pretty much true. He's such a visually-inclined writer that most of his books could really come alive on a screen under the right direction (see Stardust).
I, for one, would like to see a good William Gibson novel adaptation. Pattern Recognition, perhaps. It was going to be made, and now isn't, I understand.

There is. http://www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/earthsea/ It came out last summer, but now we have to patiently wait for it to come overseas.
Postino:
From what I hear Miyazaki was pissed that his son worked on the Earthsea series. I also understand that Ghibli took a lot of artistic liberty with the film. Personally I am looking forward to Miyazaki's new film Ponyo something or other.
anditsdiscontents:
Gibson's Pattern Recognition fo sho. With Keely Hawes from Spooks, etc as Cayce. I'm sure she could do an American accent.
The Ghibli Earthsea film was FUCKING AWFUL. i was pretty crushed.
I think any movie production of His Dark Materials will fuck up unforgivably by erasing the atheist themes to get funding/audience in the USA.
I'd like to see Artemis Fowl and Ender's Game movies but they're just as likely to be awful as awesome so i'll survive if they never happen.
