Top Ten Tuesday: Books You'd Like To See Made Into A Movie

 

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

Everyone knows that books are (almost) always better than the movies made from them. Just the same, it's  fun to see them acted out or animated on the screen.

1. Replication: The Jason Experiment by Jill Williamson. It would have to be animated. 55 clones of varying ages? Hard for an actor to pull off. . . even with motion capture, I bet. The voice acting would even be tough. I don't know. It really wouldn't work, but if it could, it would be amazing.

2. The Silmarillion by J. R. R. Tolkien. They're making the Hobbit. I wish they could make this one too!

3. Fablehaven by Brandon Mull. This would be SO COOL as a movie. Everything about it is right -- it's straightforward, fast-paced, and fun. If they could do well with it, more in the fashion of the first two HP movies and less in the fashion of the Spiderwick Chronicles, I think lots of people would want to see it.

4. The Door Within by Wayne Thomas Batson. I hope this happens eventually. And that they can let the story stand on its own. Christian movies always seem to require some kind of added-in didactic message that ruins the whole thing. No one goes to the movie theater for a sermon. They go for an awesome story! Not everything has to be "useful."

5. The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale. YES PLEASE. I'd say Forest Born, but I think it's too introverted to translate well as a movie.

6. The Fifth Elephant by Terry Pratchett. (Unless it's already a movie, and I don't know.) Basically, just because Susan is in it, and she's awesome.

7. Warrior Cats: Into the Wild by Erin Hunter. This would be animated. Maybe anime. It would be unusual, because so many movies with cats portray them as evil (so unfair).

8. Foundling, Lamplighter, and Factotum by D. M. Cornish. One movie for each, and they would have to be made in Australia because that would be really neat. (And have Alan Rickman as Sebastipole! Though he's maybe a bit old.) They would also have to forget the stupid audience-pandering that seems to ruin every movie made nowadays and just do a decent job for once! (Case in point: the Prince Caspian movie. SUSAN DOES NOT KISS CASPIAN, okay? They only put that in because they thought it would make teenage girls more excited and thus rake in more money.{In MBT, what would they do to add a love interest? Make Rossamünd kiss Threnody? *makes face*}  And they also added more battles for the boys. {There's already plenty of violence in MBT so that shouldn't be an issue, but you know, it probably would be anyway. They might take a leaf filmstrip out of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and slim down battle scenes that are in the book to make room for nonsensical added scenes that they made up.} Just, come on. I get that books and movies are different. So make adaptations, not fanfics! /end rant)

9. Auralia's Colors by Jeffrey Overstreet. It would be so beautiful.

10. Matched by Ally Condie. Romance. Forbidden poetry. I'm not usually into dystopian or romance, but I liked this one. :)

What about you? What books would you like to see made into movies?
