You mean like with the Seeker of Truth TV series? They took elements from later books that were ruined for being out of place. They had so much filler that Toei Animation would turn away in disgust (even though the source material is long finished. If they'd done it like Game of Thrones, they could have cut out all the filler and had something badass!automatron said:
Harry Dresden got a TV series, and honestly... It wasn't great. You can find it on Netflix and Hulu, but I stopped watching after four episodes. It simply didn't do the books justice.dystopiaINC said:
But Codex Alera has that great fantasy setting drawing influences from the Grand Roman Empire. The visuals could be amazing. I would only hope for decent CGI for the furies.
Besides wheel of time, the entire dragonlance series, such an amazing bunch of books, ive read all 3 trilogies like 4 or 5 times each.
For the WoT series, I think it'd be better if it was turned into a TV series instead of a movie, that way more things could be fleshed out easier.kaziard said:
Even though this has been announced already for a movie, but I really want to watch the Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson.
Well the obvious ones would be some of David Gemmells or more of the Discworld novels. Movies, Tv series or Games would work with them. But I personally think that Storm Thief by Chris Woodsmith would make a great game. Its not a very well known book and the story itself isn't anything too spectacular (but it is very good), so I'll have to explain a little bit. The backbone of the game would be the Probability Storms that ravage the island city that the book is set in. Theses storms are like waves of energy or something, but they change the world that they go over. The main character of the book is a thief, and the storms cause him a lot of problems as entire city streets can be moved and changed by the storms. Anything can be changed by the storms. The main character lost the ability to breath after one.
I think a game where the world itself and your characters abilities can be randomly changed at anytime could be amazing if implemented properly. The main story of the book could make a good game but I think that other characters would have more possibilities. And other than the storms, the world of the book is one of the most imaginative worlds I've ever read about.

They butcher anything that originally started off as a book (ala Legend of the Seeker/Sword of Truth), unless they have the author keeping them true to the original (HBO Game of Thrones), the BBC generally have a good record with stuff made from books though...Wilcroft said:
Also good as a movie series : Codex Alera
Maximum Ride Series for sure! They have been teasing us with the movie for years. With the books coming to a close, they should really pursue it. And I think play as Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, or Angel would be awesome in a video game, but not Dylan.....I don't like him -.-
I only part way threw steven king's under the dome and I can already see it being turend into a awesome movie. My other pick would have to go to my all time favoiret book house of the scorpine
