There already has been a movie (L.A. Confidential), which is one of my favourite movies of all time. But to get it on the screen required a lot of rewriting to fit a complex weave of plots that intersect and takes 10 years to resolve. It was brilliantly done for what it was, but it left a LOT on the floor.
I would love love love to see an HBO or similar series that is as true to the novel by James Ellroy as it could possibly be.
Zero. It totally destroys everything about a book. I have found though that horrible series can make good TV. Like Twilight or Dexter or Harry Potter. Horribly written trash but popular with those in the center of the bell curve.
The Temeraire series by Naomi Novik.
Michael Morecocks Eternal Champion saga. Great candidate for a Netflix animation
Not a book exactly, but East of West would make for some great narrative and world building.
*Not until the books, plural, and the She-Wolves of Winterfell are published. Please grrm.
ha, well, wild cards is kinda ancient and has enough volumes out to not require him in really any capacity
Have you read the Tuf stuff? I think that would translate well to a Scavengers Reign-esque animated series. The older I get, the more I realize that animation is the perfect medium for sci-fi adaptation.
The Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee.
Children of time, but as a scifi miniseries.
Magic Kingdom of Landover
The Gap Cycle series
LOL IDK how you would do the first book or even touch on that part of the books (because it makes them very very hard to suggest let alone reread) but once you got to the singularity bomb at the science space station deep in a dense asteroid field.... I wanna see that part. The emotions that the story creates in the characters is pretty primal and believable. Its an interesting story how each of the main characters goes through the same level of violation but in different ways
I would love a faithful adaptation of Worm, but I don't think it could ever do the series justice.
