I have wanted since I was a child to see the Warriors series on screen. I keep hearing rumors, but I never get my hopes up.

I thought I really wanted Cirque du Freak to be a movie series, but the first one was soooo awful. I really wish they'ed pick it up and base it on the manga, but I'm always afraid of yet another horrible Cirque du Freak movie.

Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Novels by Laurel K. Hamilton- but maybe like anywhere from the first book to the 7th book since those were really good (I cant speak for the others I havnt read them yet lol). I'm kind of surprised they havnt been adapted honestly because people love vampires and paranormal romance, which those novels pre-date Twilight (and I'm pretty sure Stephenie Meyer may have drawn some inspiration from them because they have similar things).

Also, I'd love to see the Skinjacker Trilogy(Everlost, Everwild,and Everfound) by Neal Shusterman made into a trilogy. I'd come across information that said Everlost was in the works, but it was years ago and I havnt heard anything since I heard production stopped for some reason.

I haven't seen any of the Percy Jackson movies yet, but I know they only made 2 which kind of bums me. I'm reading the Heroes of Olympus series right now, and I think all Riordan's Percy Jackson novels would be great if adapted.

Outside the realm of fiction, I think it would be really interesting to see a film version of Carolyn Jessop's tell all, Escape. It's about one woman's struggle to escape the cult of the FLDS in Utah where she was brought up and married to one of the prominent leaders as one of his many wives. It's a really good book which sheds light on the polygamist sect under the operation of her husband and Warren Jeffs. I think it would be interesting to see the book play out on the screen in a semi documentary or drama style movie to shed light on something that continues to happen in our own backyard.

I second that thought about the vampire lestat and even the whole saga. But i must admit that the queen of the damned adaption is one of my favourite movies. I know that purists hate it and i understand why after reading the novel BUT still the best movie crossover best music score of any movie ever, to me at least.

Anything by Charles Portis. The recent adaptation of his True Grit only scratched the surface of the great writing. The Dog of the South in particular would be interesting.

The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness and the rest of the Chaos Walking series. I think they'd make a wonderful set of movies!
