With hollywood making all sorts of movies based of TV shows, comic books, and novels lately, what are some that you would like to see make it to the big screen?

Here's my choices:

Ex-Driver.
This could be incredibly awesome.
Especially since the cars used in the anime were mixture of really awesome vehicles regardless of genre.

I also think Vamped, a novel about a cynical vampire in a world full of vampires raising an incredibly rare human girl could make a good movie.

As long as they dont do it all gay like aeon flux or whatever it would be awesome. Get the dude thats doing all the new Batman films to do it and its golden.

Fist of the North Star directed by quentin tarantino.

Eric Bana could lead in it.

The only novel I actually enjoyed... or finished.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0380728168/ref=cap_pdp_dp_0/105-7201632-5789208

It's called Final Victim, by Stephen J Cannell.

I think it would be a little too late for it to become a movie. Maybe during the 90's.

It's about this computer hacker with split personalities and a couple of Customs Agents that are tracking him down. They break this Mexican kid out of jail to help them because he has like uber 1337 h4x0r skills.

Some of the above suggestions, and then add on a different note:

Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra and That Hideous Strength (All by C.S. Lewis)

For Whom the Bell Tolls (Hemingway) Think it's already been done, but a new version would be nice.

I like my classics.

I believe a Batman Dark knight is in the works already I remember reading something about it the Times.
Cowboy Bebop would be dope as hell as well as Bleach.

Arthur C Clark's Childhoods End.

i'd like to see Chuck Palahniuk's Choke and Survivor made into movies


agreed. a lot of his books are actually great cinematic material. I'm really surprised that only Fight Club was made into a film. Haunted would be great for an hbo mini-series or something like that.

The boondocks!
dunno if it would play out into a movie very well without upsetting people lol

Dunno who could pull off Uncle Ruckus

Deathnote would be cool , there where 2 japanese movies but an american version would be cool.

Black Lagoon was a cool anime, they where mercenaries. would be Rated R no doubt!

Any of the Star Wars books written by Timothy Zahn.
The Darth Bane (Star Wars)series that is going on now.
Any of the books by Tim Dorsey featuring Serge Storms.
Any of the books written by James Lee Burke featuring Dave and Clete.
I would say movie but maxi series would be more to my liking,like the John Adams and Band of Brothers that ran/run on HBO.

And last, any book by Walter Mosley. I wish Denzel Washington would reprise the role of Easy Rawlins and do two more movies. Last and only one was Devil in a Blue Dress.

That would be awesome on the right hands. Lots of comic book rumors always going around - Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Black Panther, etc.

Why not go old school and do a live action version of this:

I'd probably throw up watching Sir Gutfree's backstory.

I would love to see gundam wing made into a movie...same cg style similar to Beowulf. Good story, likable characters, lots of action, and robots kicking ass. IMHO

Hellsing would be pretty cool....

Lets see.....World War Z is already in the works....

I agree that Rainbow Six would be pretty cool....an Appleseed live action movie would be badass....maybe Speedgrapher...

I'll have to think about this more..

I was going to suggest more Palahniuk movies. Although, honestly, the only book I've read of his was Lullaby and my only opinion was that it's terribly depressing. But, I figure if Fight Club is equally depressing as a novel, and they were able to turn it into the movie it was......they could probably do the same with his other novels. :p

I was about to say "wasn't that a movie?" when I realized that it's not. Clear and Present Danger was a great movie.

Of course, Harrison Ford is like 90 now.
