Any of the In Death series
Barracuda
Sudden Death

I find that the movies I see in my mind while reading a book are much better than any that Hollywood puts out.

First, I want these two books on Kindle, and then I want them made into movies.



I read them out of order. After reading The Seventh Scroll, I figured I knew everything about River God, but I was so wrong.

This is Jan's choice - Hrthik Roshan. I think I can second that nomination.

[Gertie Kindle]

Outlander.

Essential Entertainment optioned the series last year. They have a treatment by Randy Wallace (Braveheart) and were sending the script out to directors. They were supposed to start shooting this month, but there's not a whisper anywhere that I can find that they even found a director.

Did they send it to Peter Jackson?

I think I'd vote for Gilles Marini in anything, even taking a shower. Oh, wait. He already did that!

The Eight

 

[Thumper]

Stranger in a Strange Land, though I'm not sure a movie can honestly do the story justice.

They already did "Starship Troopers" and it was . . .eh. . . .a movie. . . .

Yeah it was one of those movies that would have done better if it was not the same name as the book. There was so much to that book that just could not be portrayed in a movie well.

It's getting a little ways away from the cold war for the current generation to entirely get it but 25-30 years ago this would have made a great movie:

 

[Susan in VA]

Stranger in a Strange Land, though I'm not sure a movie can honestly do the story justice.

There's just no way they could capture that magic.
