I'd like to see Jorge P. Newbery's Burn Zone made into a movie because I'm fascinated by how young Jorge made such great business decisions and executed them. It will be exciting to see them played out.

so, so many to be honest. I really don't get why we get so many remakes or second/third/fourth/fifth/... parts of older movies when there are so many fantastic books out there that could be made into a completely new movie...
some examples would be for me:
Black Magicians' Guild trilogy and the related books
And I Darken trilogy
Girls of Paper and Fire
the Maze Runner prequels
and basically all of Licia Troisi's books

I would die to see anything by Colleen Hoover made into a movie. She is my absolute favorite author. She doesn’t shy away from the hard topics and I love that.

Ken Follett's The Pillars of the earth and the sequesls that followed are comes into my mind. A remaking of The day of the jackal would be good as well. :D

Sleeping with Schubert by Bonnie Marson I've always pictured it as a movie while I was reading it after finding it cleaning out my uncle's garage

I want The Shiva Triology by Amish Tripathi to be turned into a movie or series of movies. It's an extremely well written historical novel. It will be epic if turned into a movie I believe.

A lot of the books i like are already being made into movies which is exciting, I cant wait for the Daisy Jones and the six to come out.
I think id really like to see the five nights at freddies trilogy be turned into a horror movie. I know there was a fnaf movie planned but never came out, but it isnt based on the books so it doesnt count.

I definitely agree that The Selection series should be made into a series or movie. I also like Matched which is similar to the Hunger Games.

Shantram and Mountain Shadow by Gregory David Roberts. These two books are responsible for my great love of language, and more so about the concise and effective manner in which the English language can be applied to tell a vivid and incredible story.

I would like to see it made into a movie, but to be completely honest... Mhm, I believe making these books in to movies would absolutely ruin the book.

I always find it so irksome and frustrating how a movie can ruin a book. Take the ending of Dan Brown's Inferno, for instance, the ending of the movie ruins the intention of the book as it was changed to suite the Hollywood-style endings. It breaks my heart.

It’s Kalayla, the name of a book I've read here in OBC. I'm eager to see some of the most intriguing parts of this book. As a feminist film, I think it would be a terrific one.

I will love to see Kalayla turned into a movie, I can't help but wonder how Carlotta foods will look like on camera. A pity the recipe was not written
