How about a decend Hitchiker's "trilogy". (Five books, people!) I hated the movie Hitchiker's brough t to us, and I want to see a decent one.

Yeah, you can't have His Dark Materials and nix the God thing... not gonna work.

What would we go about naming the individual movies in Serenity the trilogy?

We have:
BDM: Big Damn Movie
BDS: Big Damn Sequel (/series, right now)
What? BDOS? Big Damn otherSequel? BDSS Big Damn Sequel's Sequel?
We're running out of Big Damns.

Yeah... Ender's Game has been finally okayed? Good, as we need one. Except it would blow the book out of the water if it was good, and noone would read it, or noone would read the book because the movie was total suckage.

I think Nathan would make a wonderful Roland.

Thanks.Before I saw F/F I though Hugh Jackman would make a good Roland.Now I'm all for Nathan.Mal is so much like Roland, I think he'd be a natural.My husband & I constantly cast this "movie ". Actually Gina might make a good Detta,but I've always pictured Alfie Woodard .Of course Detta being in her 20's ,neither one would really fit now.

Two. One to try to put it in and another to find a bigger hammer.

Which one was it that was billed as "volume ___ in the increasingly-innacurate Hitchiker's Trilogy!"?

Me:

Serenity 2 through 10 (or however many it takes for someone to wonder if a TV series might be more practical), collectively.

Legend of Zelda as animé. I've been wanting this for decades. Preferably by the people who did Cardcaptor Sakura --it's the only show I've seen where the children actually look and move like children.

Any of mine. Especially the ones that would make good TV series.

Yeah, but the BBC version of Hitchhiker's Guide, while hokey and a bit dated, is still MUCH better than any movie could possibly be! If only they had done more of the books!

I think if Adams and (the totally incredible) Michael Nesmith had been able to produce the film, as had been the plan for a good few years, it would have been much better than what I thought was possible the worst film ever made. Still hard to say, though - so much of Adams' power was tied up in his actual writing, his use of words, more than the actual story.

As for what I'd like to see as a film... there's a book I adored called "Random Acts of Senseless Violence," by James Womack. It's set in the near future in a troubled United States, and revolves around the life of a teenager. Her father was a professor, loses his job, the family erodes, the girl winds up living in an abandoned building. Her world changes from sophistication, education, culture to urban street/crime/drugs what-have-you, and as the book is told in first-person narrative, you see her language degrade and de-generate until it's nearly A Clockwork Orange. I guess one might term it a PRE-apocalyptic story.

Song of Fire and Ice series by George RR Martin (he said it would take 9 movies to complete his series..thats not all that feasible)

Shantaram, Gregory David Roberts--and oh, look, it is being made by Johnny Depp, 2007 release.

As has been said--Peter Jackson Hobbit.

Nelson DeMille's Charm School

And this thread has told me that His Dark Materials is becoming a movie, which makes me happy.

Glänzend!
