I would love to see The Voice Of The Blood .. I've thought for years it would make a excellent movie . If anyone has not read it I highly recommend it.

I'm a huge fan of Chanda Hahn's "An Unfortunate Fairy Tale" series. The storyline in my opinion was really clever and enjoyable and fun to read and I think it would be so great to see it turned into movies.

The Lux Series and The Covenant Series by Jennifer L Armentrout and The Jessica Darling Series by Megan McCafferty would be awesome TV show series!! A movie though...I feel like those are best with stand alone books. I would say maybe Imaginary Girls by Nova Ren Suma, or I'll Give you The Sun by Jandy Nelson would be good picks!

House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. I'd love to see this as a movie. Unfortunately, stretching my imagine as far as I can, I don't see how it could be done and still do the book justice. I think there's just far too much story withing those pages.

I would really love to see Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn made into a movie. Her two other books, Gone Girl and Dark Places have been adapted into films and i couldn't wait to see my top favorite book from her turned into a movie as well. Shark Objects is a dark book and i would love to see how it will play out in the big screen. I've heard that they will turn this into a mini tv show but there's really no update so far which is quite disappointing.

I think The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah could be an excellent movie in the right hands. I did read an article from last year about possibly making it into a movie, but not sure if anyone did go through with it or not. I haven't heard anything recent.

Oh my god, i love this book as well! I cried so much reading this book, some parts were just too heavy and emotional. It's been awhile since i read this but now that you reminded of it, I'm thinking of rereading the book! :)

I would like to see, "It all started with an apple" by Ashley Winters... made into a movie. The book is one of my all-time faves and would definitely recommend this!

I think A Discovery of Witches would make a great TV mini series.

I have so many "favorite" books that I would liketo see as films. But at the same time I don't want it because the book is always better than the movie. And the movies can't fit everything in just two hours.

Six of Crows for sure, it was an amazing book that kept me guessing and involved all the way through! The imagery also made the scenes play out like movies in my head; I think it would be wonderful to see it on a screen!

Cartoon is one of the entertainment movies that brings happiness and excitement for everyone, especially children.
The first thing is that it always makes you laugh whenever you watch. An example of this is children who is easily attracted by amusement of the cartoon. The second thing is that you can relax after watching if you have a trouble or are sad.
Nowadays, you can watch short clips of cartoons on TV. Its goal catches children' attention. Besides that, it is the way of the product ad.
I think the most important thing is that cartoon creates humour. It makes our life better and more comfortable when having laughtẹr

I would love to see some of Peter Straub's novels adapted to the big screen, most especially
Shadowland: a tale of friendship, growing up and redemption that takes place between an all boys prep school where the students are terrorized by the head master and his disturbed son to a summer escape at a residence where an apprenticeship to a magician turns into a greater threat than any the boys had faced before.
A Dark Matter: another story of friendship, growing up and...hey, wait a minute; I found a theme! This time a group of friends is involved, each with their own various personal problems and set in the 70's when the allure of self proposed gurus was hard to resist. All but one are drawn into a plan to enact a complicated magical ritual, unleashing horrendous monsters, ripping tunnels into chaotic alternate realities and even giving one a glimpse of God. This is a story of change, that which comes about as we grow up and that a glimpse into the unknown can have on a soul.
Is it doable? With the right director I'm certain it is! Any takers?
