Ready Player One! I think there were plans, but I'm not sure when it's gonna come out if ever.

I know there is a tv show for this book series, and that there was a movie already made for this book series back in 2003 (correct me if I'm wrong on the year), but I definitely think there should be another movie for A Series of Unfortunate Events! I enjoyed the 2003 movie (and the tv show is pretty good), but I wish the other books were in the movie as well!

However, if there was another movie made for this book series, it could go in two ways: really bad or really good...

I can't wait for The Red Queen series by Victoria Aveyard to play out on the big screen. I believe Elizabeth Banks bought the movie rights in 2015. To make it a reality would be awesome should they do it right.

Brian Lumley's Necroscope series. Would be thrilling if done right, and visually stunning.

Necroscope
Necroscope II: Vamphyri!
Necroscope III: The Source
Necroscope IV: Deadspeak
Necroscope V: Deadspawn

I finished the first two in that series. Didn't know there were making them into movies! That will be neat to see it play out on screen!

I would gladly like to see "Emeka" by Frederick Forsyth made into movie. It is a comprehensive history of the Nigerian/Biafran civil war that has been hidden from the Nigerian history.

Another book I would like to see in a movie is "The Biafra Story" by Frederick Forsyth.

I think that an adaptation of Breaking Sandcastles should be made because it is a beautiful romantic book by Kirk Burris and people would love the movie.
Live Life to the Fullest and Enjoy Reading!!

Station Eleven would make a great movie, or possible a tv miniseries.
