Niven's Ringworld series should be do-able now, what with all the advances in CGI. Also, I'd love to see someone tackle The Mote In God's Eye.

Rendezvous With Rama, Childhood's End, Heinlein's Orphans of the Sky... too many to list...

A *GOOD* version of Neuromancer would be amazing, too.

Sweeping generalizations are always wrong!

A great director to direct a Metroid movie is Joss Whedon, seriously think about it he likes female action heroes & knows how to create depth & fantastic stories for those characters.

A thought to think about who would star as Samus, I would love to see the aussie Rachael Taylor (Transformers) as Samus, almost a perfect fit. But just as long it isn't Angeline Jolie or Milla Jovovich then I'd be happy.

Totally agree with Milla Jovovich, she was a model first then actress, & frankly she should just stop acting now and continue her model/perfume/ clothes line career. 1st Resi was entertaining enough-ish-not really but at least she didn't say too much but what the hell did they do with Resi:Extinction.

btw nice name always liked the name Rachel whichever way its spelt.

Only movie I've ever enjoyed with Milla was The Fifth Element. Honestly I'm sure I liked it mostly for Bruce Willis, Ian Holm, Gary Oldman and Chris Tucker. Also it was quirky, fun and somewhat original.

Anyway back on topic. Metroid would make a fine film. Other than that the only other Nintendo franchise I'd care to see on the silver screen would be The Legend Of Zelda. Only if it was put together in a well done CG motion capture sorta way. With decent voice actors and the score handled by the original composer. Then and only then would I like to see it. Mario would just be silly and it's already been done. I liked it as a kid but as I grew up I realized how bad it was.

Another movie I'd like to see made would be Artemis Fowl... nevermind that's already coming. Anyway another good children's book series that will make a great movie series if it's presented right. A hell of a lot better than Harry Potter anyway.

The life of The 14th Dalai Lama would also be a really interesting film. He's had such a varied and fascinating life. Like any film though it would have to be done right and with care, and preferably with the cooperation of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso himself. Anyway it'd be a very interesting movie.

Let's keep up the ideas. Been some good ones so far.

Personally a big fan of Shannara, would prefer they did "Sword" rather than "Elfstones"
Some others...
1. A matter for men - David Gerrold
2. any of Edgar Rice Burroughs "john Carter of Mars" series.
3. any of Robert Adams "horseclanns", especially the first 2.

4. SOME NETWORK TO BUY THE RIGHTS TO CONTINUE THE FIREFLY SERIES!!!!!

anything by Robert Heinlein.
His work is the bedrock of modern science fiction, but very little has made it to film. Supposedly Stranger in a Strange Land has been optioned by Tom Hanks, for a long time, but it's making no progress. Many of his short stories would make good films, and some would be easy. Glory Road would be a good cross-over to sword and sorcery.

Terry Pratchett's Discworld stories.
They made Hogfather, and there are reports that The Wee Free Men is in the works, but there are lots of great stories there. Again, lots of cross-over to sword and sorcery.

They are doing "The Sword of Shannara." They just thought they'd be idiots and do "The Elfstones of Shannara" first. You know so they can confuse the hell out of people not familiar with the books. It makes sense if your a bad film maker with no talent and who only wants to make a buck off a successful and pretty good book series.

Really despite my sarcasm I'm dead serious. Poor Terry must be pissed. I know I'd be if a series I wrote was being butchered.

Well I'd like to see:

Neil Gaiman's Sandman - done as a series or several mini series. In fact anything by this genius including American Gods.

Discworld - Same as above, and yes I know we have a couple of cartoons and a live action mini series, but could they please start from the beginning.

Good Omens by Gaiman/Pratchett - Hmmmm, I see a pattern here.

The Tripods - could do with an update where they actually finish all three books. I believe this is supposed to be in the planning stages.
