I won't say that is blows, but I agree that it is just entirely too slow. He built a massive, massive world and then just played around in it for 11 books. I spoiled the ending after finishing the first 5. I would like to see how Brandon Sanderson finished the series.

Thanks for the recommendations.

Someone mentioned The Gentlemen Bastards series, and while I'm only 2 books in, I agree that it could make for great television.

You're right. Blows is a little too harsh. I only use that word in exaggeration because I feel it is easily the most overrated fantasy series ever.

Those books are tailor made for TV/Film.

Big fan of Bernard Cornwell. Some of Rutherfurds books would be great.

I'd love to see someone do the actual Robert E. Howard Conan as a show. It'd be right up HBO's alley, fighting, gore and sex. There's also plenty of material, Howard was a very prolific writer and has stories from a very young teenage Conan all the way until he was in his 60's.

Louis Lamour's The Walking Drum would be an almost perfect movie.
Dragonlance.
Stephen R Lawheads version of Robin Hood and Arthur would be awesome. His best series though is The Endless Knot.
Morgan Llywelyn's Lion of Ireland based on the life of Brian Ap Boru, the first emporer of Ireland, would be a great movie.
WoT-Robert Jordan. Can't help but think it's way to long though.
Louis Lamour's The Lonesome Gods though that is more of a western.
Just to name a few.
Just fiction in general. I wish someone would do a legit Cussler movie. Sahara was a joke.

Lawhead has a series based on the crusades that ut is very good. Starts off with the The Black Rood.

The Dark Tower could only be done via a series to be worth a flop, and only HBO would do it right IMO. Doing movies, even a trilogy or more just wouldn't work with a landscape that vast and a story that complex. It would be slightly less challenging than GOT, but not by much.

The wheel of time is my favorite series but as already been said it could not be done well at any capacity
i would like to see the first law trilogy

I don't know about making it into a series, but have anyone attempted A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court?

Well, not in the past 40 years I don't think, but it's been done a few times.

While it would be awesome to see done well on film, no way in hell anyone would ever have the budget to do it justice.

I wish this was true. They did a terrible adaptation with Martin Lawrence.

Was Black Knight based on that?
I never watched it, so had no clue.
