Top Ten Books I'd Love To See as Movies/TV
Wow
there are so many books I'd love to see as either TV or Movies. After a quick
look through my books these are the ones I came up with. Hope you enjoy and
leave me a comment with your TTT.
Movies
While I'm not really into horror
movies. I think that The Merciless has all the makings of a
good horror movie. It's got lots of suspense, blood shed and mind-fuckery. The
Program is one of my favorite books and I would love to see it
as a movie, but I just don't know if they could pull it off. There's a lot of
deep emotion and inner turmoil that goes on which may be hard to translate to
the big screen.
This Song Will Save Your Life is a great coming of age story that would make a
great indie film. Somewhere along the lines of Adventureland and The Way Way
Back. The F*ck It List is also a kind of coming of age story
that while is about cancer, the main focus is more on how to deal with it when
it's your best friend who is dying. The novel deals with it in such a
funny way but with a lot of heartfelt moments. Lastly Stolen: A
Letter to My Captor, is one of my all time favorite books. It's
one that makes you think and sometimes has you rooting for the
'bad' villain of the story. I would love to see this as
an independent film made by an Australian film company. I think it
has so much potential.
TV Series
These 3 would make awesome TV shows I
reckon. I imagine Magic Bites (Kate Daniels series) to have a
kind of Buffy feel to it with it's kick-ass lady lead. Stray, also
has a strong female lead and with all the sexiness that goes on, I could see it
as another True Blood type series. White Hot Kiss (The Dark
Elements Series) would be a more teenage friendly show, but still with some
great fantasy elements that are a bit different from your average vampire and
shape-shifter.
Deadly Class would make a great anime. While it is a
little bit gorey and there's a lot of bloodshed, I could definitely see it as a
R18 anime. Burn for Burn I would imagine as a kind of Pretty
Little Liars type show with lots of mystery and intrigue.
I also had The Dark Elements as a TV series. I think they could do a pretty good job with it. I haven't read Burn for Burn yet but it sounds like it would be a good TV show too. Great list!
ReplyDeleteI've seen The Merciless on a couple lists and now I'm dying to read it! Great List!

White Hot Kiss would make a great TV show - a fun twist on the current vampire theme. And I agree that TSWSYL reads like an Indie film!

The Program would make an awesome movie, I hadn't even thought of it for my own list. I've not heard of most of these others though - will check them out.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these books yet, but bet they would make good movies and tv shows! There are several books on your list that I have been wanting to read.
