I feel like the Cosmere is pretty well structured for a series. Each season could be a different world, eventually tying things together.
From what I’ve heard, something is in the works. Hopefully optimistic it turns out well.
From what I’ve read Mistborn is being adapted as a film trilogy, while Stormlight Archives will be a series with Sanderson being the primary screenwriter. Think it was announced a month or two ago.
Warbreaker and Elantris could be standalone movies. I don’t see how even Stormlight 1 could be compressed down into one movie, given how detailed the world is and how much those details matter.
We saw with Wheel of Time that it’s not enough to just throw money at a stack of books.
diskworld series have some, but need more imo
I demand more Rincewind content.
None. No more.
Beat me to it.
My therapist’s notes on our sessions
In black and white, French, Subtitled.
Ted Chiang - The Stories of Your Life and Exhalation (minus Story of Your Life, since Denis Villeneuve knocked that out of the park, IMO). The other short stories in those collections are great and could make a great mini series.
I bought this recently and was unimpressed, it might have been oversold but it seemed just ok to me. Nothing stayed and exhalation was om the lower end of the lot.
The first two Hyperion books
Once you read it you realize it’s influenced SO MUCH and it would be pretty epic now that’s e have the tech to do something at that scale
I will always say that HHGttG needs a well done remake as a TV series’s that leaves out nothing.
Came here to say that. The last movie had a happy ending for Arthur Dent. They clearly missed the point as there are no happy endings for Arthur Dent.
most dont even stay true to the source material, unless the original writer is on board, even then they can be influenced by executives, like with sandman. with the obvious thing happened with lucifer and death.(not true to the source, only the words were)
invincible is another, with tech jacket, even with the creator on board.
on one hand, series like nutrek just straight up plagiarizes fan novels without giving credit.
But occasionally it can stray far enough away to become its own different great thing like Resident Alien
resident alien seems good, except for the 3rd one i think. they had to cancel that show.
“Malazan book of the Fallen” by Steven Erikson. An Epos that dwarfs the whole of LotR.
Or an animated series of all Discworld novels…
The Bobiverse books by Dennis E. Taylor, and The Shadow of the Leviathan series by Robert Jackson Bennett. These are two series I would love to see rendered as animated or live action stories.
+1 for Bobiverse. Almost done with Book 1 and surprised it has been done already.
John Scalzi’s Old Man’s War book series. Apparently it’s been optioned for 15+ years now, but nobody’s actually gotten around to making the damned thing yet.
Dictionary (Based on the Book by Merriam Webster)
The epic sequel will be simply, THESAURUS.
Cryptonomicon, by Neal Stevenson. But keep it the modern stuff as part of the ninties at the Dawn of the Information Age.
That was written like they hoped it would be made into a movie. I found it one of the drawbacks to the book.
I have been disapointed by so many im not sure I want any at this point.
I wanna see a book accurate animated series based on Artemis Fowl. They did a movie but it wasn’t true to the book
