Game of Thrones is obviously fantasy and very popular, so perhaps that will also kick start a wave of fantasy films like we have a plethora of superhero films. There is tons of great material to choose from. I think the Chronicles of Amber would make a great fantasy movie or series of movies.

shite, a movie about Robert's Rebellion would be KILLER.

And it's such a shame that the fantastic stories of Robert E. Howard have turned out such awful movies.

That would be good, especially since it is not perfectly laid out in the book in great detail, so I don't have a strong idea of what it should be.

The one scene I would want to see, which is my favorite scene in any book ever written, is Ned Stark and 6 others meeting the 3 best and last loyal Kingsguard at the Tower of Joy.

quote:
“I looked for you on the Trident,” Ned said to them.
“We were not there,” Ser Gerold answered.
“Woe to the Usurper if we had been,” said Ser Oswell.
“When King's Landing fell, Ser Jaime slew your king with a golden sword, and I wondered where you were.”
“Far away,” Ser Gerold said, “or Aerys would yet sit the Iron Throne, and our false brother would burn in seven hells.”
“I came down on Storm's End to lift the siege,” Ned told them, and the Lords Tyrell and Redwyne dipped their banners, and all their knights bent the knee to pledge us fealty. I was certain you would be among them.”
“Our knees do not bend easily,” said Ser Arthur Dayne.
“Ser Willem Darry is fled to Dragonstone, with your queen and Prince Viserys. I thought you might have sailed with him.”
“Ser Willem is a good man and true,” said Ser Oswell.
“But not of the Kingsguard,” Ser Gerold pointed out. “The Kingsguard does not flee.”
“Then or now,” said Ser Arthur. He donned his helm.
“We swore a vow,” explained old Ser Gerold.
Ned’s wraiths moved up beside him, with shadow swords in hand. They were seven against three.
“And now it begins,” said Ser Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Morning. He unsheathed Dawn and held it with both hands. The blade was pale as milkglass, alive with light.
“No,” Ned said with sadness in his voice. “Now it ends.”
