Adaptations: What do you want to see

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?

Michael Dzurak

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.

Suzanne Bronson

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

Debra Holland

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.

Tess Redman

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!

Darrell Pennington

Ishmael is a 1992 philosophical novel by Daniel Quinn.

Marie Hatten

I'm excited to see Project hail mary and the backrooms, and Leviticus.

Shamim Khaliq

Marie Hatten did you see Project Hail Mary yet? I LOVED it! The others look good too!

Raven Riley

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.

Raven Riley

Tess Redman YES! I would love that! The Legendborn Cycle would be incredible!

Marie Hatten
