Crappy books don't normally make good movies.

I would like to see the Pendergast books made into a movie or series. They made Relic, but they cut him out of the damn movie.

Zelazny's 9 Princes in Amber would be great, but good luck getting the rights from the estate. After the abortion that was Damnation Alley, they kinda pulled the plug on that one.

I would like to see Tin Roof Blow Down made.

Piers Anthony's Xanth books and world as a kid's show with great animation would be kickass.

American Gods really needs to be a movie, but Gaiman hasn't done really well in the movie business--Coraline being a notable exception.

Oh...and Tyger, Tyger (The Stars My Destination), but that shite is flat out unfilmable.

Richard Kadrey's Sandman Slim books.

The Monstrumologist series would be cool too.

I would also like to see them take a stab at remaking the Eiger Sanction, but who do we get to play Hemlock? Not many Eastwoods out there.

Can't say I'd blame them really. As nice as it would be to see Corwin and company on the screen, it would be a really hard series to translate well to screen. I think the odds would be enormously low that it would be done well.

I could see Lord of Light being done well as a movie though.
