Pygmalion was made into a movie, for which Shaw wrote the screenplay. I think it was in 1938. And the most famous version of Wuthering Heights stars Laurence Olivier. I think that was also made in the 30sanu_ wrote:I would love to see following books turned into movies:
1. Deception Point by Dan Brown
2. Six Suspects by Vikas Swarup
3. Under the Dome by Stephen King
4. Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw
5. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte (If some director has already been inspired by this book, let me know, I would love to catch up with the real life Heathcliff)

I don't know how most people would feel about it as a movie but I think it could be visually amazing if done well.
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

I agree with this! I loved these books! Well, the two I read, anyway! Especially the original one.Kmikel0509 wrote:I definitely think the Graceling realm trilogy deserves to be either a film or a tv series. The world is so awesome and the characters kick some major booty. I think it'd be really cool in film.
I would also like to see my beloved The Poppet and the Lune turned into an animated film. Maybe a Pixar like movie. That would be so good!

It almost happened and still may. I'm keeping my fingers crossed! One of the things I liked best was the plot twist about Abby's past half way through. You know early on that she's hiding something, but when her father tracks her down, things get interesting. It makes the story more complex, and changes it from a college age romance to a possible future blockbuster, at least one I'd be in line for.
