Have you ever read a book and thought that it would be a great movie? List some books that you think will be a great movie...
The Truth About Forever By: Sarah Dessen I love this book and when ever I read it I would picture it in my head as a movie. The Outsiders By:SE Hinton Yes, I know that this already became a movie. But I would love to see or make a modern version of it. I thought of this because I hated the movie because of all the parts it was missing. |

From the books I have read that are made into movies, I've been disappointed. I've yet to see a movie where I read the book beforehand and still thought the movie was a good adaptation of the book.
Brave New World would probably make a good movie, with the right people. I would probably be very selective in who would do it. Can't put it in the wrong hands... James, read the comic! |

Can't put it in the wrong hands... It has been tackled several times as a made-for-TV-movie. Bad news, I'm sure.
