Top Ten Books That Should Be Movies:
Apparently my prediction that this book would become a movie within 5 years of publication came true because I just found out yesterday that it's set to come out some time this year! Yay! I'm so happy about this! I can't tell you how much I adored the story and the characters in this book!
This would be such a perfect romantic comedy for Disney to produce. Something an Amy Adams type actress would be perfect for.
Let's ride this dystopian wave. Wither was such a thought-provoking read, I think it would be amazing on the big screen (especially the whole love triangle thing that audiences seem to clamor for).
I have been putting this book on every list lately, but I just can't get enough of it! I can picture this being the next great animated blockbuster. And Bahni Turpin (the narrator on the audio book) HAS to do J. Lo's voice! (for those of you who haven't read the book, that's J. Lo the alien, not Jennifer Lopez).
I think movie-goers need a good sci-fi mystery. What do you think?
A family adopts a chimpanzee and raises him as their own child to see if chimps can acquire language. There are tons of questions about ethics in this novel, along with Kenneth Oppel's amazing story telling ability. I read on Kenneth Oppel's Facebook page that this book has been optioned for a movie. I really hope it becomes a movie!
Who wouldn't adore watching two hours of Etienne St. Clair on the big screen, in the perfectly romantic setting of Paris? If this doesn't become a movie someday there is no justice!
An elderly husband and wife, one dying of cancer, the other wasting away from Alzheimer's set out on one final roadtrip together along Route 66. If done properly, with the right actors, this could be an award-winning film.
Not only was this book the perfect summer read, but it would be the perfect summer movie. Filled with travel, teen angst, and young love.
I picked this book just because I want to see how perfectly ridiculous this movie would look on screen. I think it would look like one giant acid trip. I could totally picture Kevin Smith running with this story and making something purely genius from all the madness.
Wow! I had a hard time choosing just ten. I probably could have done a list of at least 25!
Yes, i put Going Bovine on my list for the same reason. And yet, if it was done well it would have so much power (like the book) It would be incredible.
