re: What book or series would you like to produce into a movie?

I like Fevre Dream. It was the first Martin book I ever read. I can't really see it as a movie. A little too slow and depressing, and it's not until the coda that things turn around. I can't imagine how an audience would feel to watching a two hour movie, the hero losing, and then everything being made right in the last 5 minutes.

Wild Cards could have some issues with who owns each individual character. Martin wrote a few, Zelazny wrote a few, 30 other authors contributed to the world. Since it was primarily an anthology prior to the last 4 books, I wonder if each author retained the rights to their individual characters.
