re: Properties (books tv etc) you are suprised aren't a movie yet.

A 3-4 movie version of ocarina of time would be fun. First movie ends with the link going into hyper sleep.

Video game films have a reputation for sucking hence why you don't see their adaptions.

Sometimes I feel like the only person who read Bleachers. Has anyone else? Its much shorter than the average Grisham novel but its tailor made for football. I picked up my old real copy the other day and reread it for the first time since high school.

Also Stephen King's Cell would be great if Darabont was behind it and got his regulars from the Walking dead in it. It would be the closest thing you get to a walking dead movie.

I feel like uncharted was basically an Indiana Jones plat former. And I love both the uncharted games and the Indy series. I just feel like it wouldn't be an original movie premise

So no one agrees on Halo? Storyline and setting would make it a fantastic movie done in the cinematic style of Avatar. As far as technology usage and mix of real/tech. I honestly think it would be a huge blockbuster if done right and could easily play out into a trilogy. So many ways to go with it.

Just Saying.

Another I would love to see is any Clive Cussler novel. Done right that is. Sahara was a crapshoot. Had potential but they turned it into a movie only worth .50¢ in a discount bin.

It's called Indiana Jones. Uncharted stole a lot from the Indy movies so there's no need to really make an Uncharted movie.

Neil Blomkamp actually filmed some test footage for his possible Halo movie. It looks sort of like a cross between Starship Troopers and Aliens to me. Also looks like they were going for a gritty Saving Private Ryan type of tone. I prefer that to the cartoony look of Avatar.

James Cameron should do Halo.

Would be awesome.

Wheel of time series

This times 1000x even though the 14th and final book to the series was very disappointing.

I don't want a movie because there is way too much to pack into a movie. They would need to make 14 different movies and even that would be rushed. I don't want a tv show like Legend of the Seeker because it was god awful and nothing at all like the Sword of Truth Series.

The Game of Thrones tv show strayed too far from the book for me to enjoy it and the budget was too low besides. Given that Wheel of Time has a very advanced magic system that is the cornerstone of the show, the budget would have to be huge. I just don't see an HBO or Showtime doing it justice. Alas, I don't think it will ever be made and, if it is, it will not be to my satisfaction.

I know Leo Dicaprio is trying to make something happen.

Great book. Completely true story. Hard part is that there are a lot of details to the book. Two story lines. Needs almost two movies made to give it proper justice.

Finally finished this after initially starting it years ago.

Don't know how they will fit this into a movie, I just picture working easier as a great HBO miniseries. There is a lot of material, depends on how Leo goes with it.
