Donna Tartt's The Secret History
but of course it could never be as good as the book. Maybe the trick is to use a book that's not already perfect ... I'll be interested to see how Cloud Atlas goes, it's going to be a challenging adaptation
Anybody read any great books that you think would be a great movie? Daemon by Daniel Suarez, for me. {nm} Aug 06, 12:16
Incarceron would make a great film, or Boneshaker {nm} Aug 06, 12:57
L.A. Rex by Will Beal. It's already optioned, but it's a great book. {nm} Aug 06, 13:12
A draft has already been written and ended up on the BlackList last year. {nm} Aug 06, 14:18
Yep. I have it.Beal wrote it, and while it was good and true to the book, it needs a professional pass {nm} Aug 06, 16:53
Flicker {nm} Aug 06, 13:23
Aronofsky was planning on adapting Flicker for a while. Pity it didn't happen, it would make a great movie {nm} Aug 06, 15:43
he still owns the rights, but I dont think he's right for it. {nm} Aug 06, 15:50
Gangs Of Chicago written by same guy who wrote Gangs of New York {nm} Aug 06, 13:36
Paradise Alley by Kevin Baker - One day it will be a feature film. And I will be the man who gets the screenplay credit. {nm} Aug 06, 13:38
Wasn't his book "Dreamland" optioned at one point? I seem to recall Dicaprio being attached. {nm} Aug 06, 13:50
It was optioned. But it lost steam. LDC backed out. It is on the back burner. Way back burner. {nm} Aug 06, 14:15
Carter Beats the Devil. {nm} Aug 06, 14:09
Peter F Hamiltons books! Aug 06, 14:12
I've always thought a few of John Sandford's early "Prey" novels could make good movies. {nm} Aug 06, 14:16
He's probably been making an adaptation for 10 years {nm} Aug 06, 15:41
As I Lay Dying would make a powerful movie. {nm} Aug 06, 15:44
Henderson the Rain King by Saul Bellow Aug 06, 17:11
Donna Tartt's The Secret History Aug 06, 18:35
Unless it's two films, I think there are scale problems in making "Cloud Atlas" into a single feature-length feature. Aug 06, 20:36
Forgot to say: Peter Behrens's, "The law of dreams." This would be an expensive and excellent film. {nm} Aug 06, 20:48
A philosophical Investigation Aug 07, 05:29
True. {nm} Aug 07, 06:28
I read alot. Inside i will compile some authors as well as single books. Aug 07, 05:52
Keep listing, but start a new thread, as this is about to disappear into B2. {nm} Aug 07, 06:34
