I would love to see The Eyes of God by John Marco adapted to a movie. The whole Bronze Knight series, actually. And also his Tyrants and Kings Series.

I just finished "We Cast A Shadow" which is supremely disturbing, basically in a near future the human race can demelanize themselves and there is a police state in the black neighborhoods. I think Jordan Peele (of Get Out and Mama fame) would do amazing things with this manuscript.

Rapuzel's Revenge by Shannon and Dean Hale. It's a graphic novel, and also the most creative retelling of Rapunzel I've ever read.

The Janus man was a wonderful read. I wish there was a movie for it. The serial killings that we're happening and the two faced agents made me read the book seated at the edge of my chair.

I would really love to see a live action adaptation of the Throne of Glass series and A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J. Mass. There are just some scenes I NEED to see enacted. Also, even there are so many characters in the Dark Hunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon, I think it'd be a big hit if made into a TV series.

I am really hoping that they will make Stargirl a movie. That book is the best book I have ever read!

Duncton Wood by William Horwood would make an excellent CG fantasy film.

OMG. I have been saying this for years to myself. The Eyes of God, The Devil's Armor, The Sword of Angels.

I think they would be perfect for the modern big screen. I just never have met anyone else that has read them, let alone agreed with the movie statement.
I tip my hat to you. :tiphat:

Yes! I agree, The Diviners would be so much fun to see adapted on screen either as movies or a series. Libba Bray's other series A Great and Terrible Beauty would be good too!

I wish that any of Brandon Sanderson's books were made into movies. Especially the Stormlight Archive and the Mistborn series.

Haruki Murakami's 1Q84, though I'd love to see it as a series instead. The book is long and complex, cutting it to a 2 to 3 hours movie would mean a lot is left out.

I would love to watch movies made from Colleen Hoover's books. Her books are really exceptional and I love the plot lines of her stories that how they give such a strong vibe of reality.
