This past weekend, I saw Project Hail Mary, and it was really inspiring to me as a writer.
Not only do I want to adapt the books I'm currently writing, I also LOVE adaptations of my favorite books.
So I was curious, what books would you love to see adapted into movies, tv shows, or limited series?

I am eagerly awaiting The Backrooms movie from internet lore. It's a fascinating concept that grew into something pretty wild.
PS: I started an adaptations series in the OTT & Transmedia Lounge:

More parts are on the way.

I wish they would do some good adaptations of THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA and perhaps Lewis' SPACE TRILOGY

I usually don't like adaptations because the book is always better. So is my imagination when I read.
A rare adaptation that worked was the Colin Firth version of Pride and Prejudice, mostly because as a mini-series, they could (and did) stick pretty faithfully to the book.
A rare adaptation where I thought the movie was much better than the book was Julie & Julia.
I think adapting the Harry Potter books AGAIN is ridiculous. The first movies were iconic and did a faithful job to the books.

The Legendborn Cycle by Tracy Deonn! I believe the series was optioned for a tv series, but I haven't heard any news lately, so the project might be dead. I hope not, though!

Suzanne Bronson I am with you! The Chronicles of Narnia are my FAVORITE, but they've never gotten to my favorite books in the series. I'd love to see them fully done all the way.
