What books would you like adapted to film?

Oh, and I wish they'd get the adaptation of Orson Scott Card's 'Ender's Game' out of development hell.

American God's - by Neil Gaiman for sure!!!
A Canticle for Leibowitz - by Walter M. Miller Jr.

Issac Asimov's Empire/Robots/Foundation epic could be a great film series but a lot of it would have to be re-thought as it doesn't have much action. Unfortunately after what they did to I, Robot I doubt anyone gets what Asimov was trying to say. His books avoid the Frankenstein/slavery parable. Robots are something new in his eyes not stand-ins form our fears or mistakes.

3001: Final Odessey would be great but I don't think anyone's interested at this point.

Gregory Benford's In the Ocean of Night and Across the Sea of Suns would make a great couple of films.

A straight film adaption of Pierre Boulle's "Monkey Planet" AKA "Planet of the Apes" could be interesting, but probably not too commercial...

Since I have to keep it sci-fi releated:

Sargasso by Edwin Corely would be an amazing film

and Voorloper by Andre Norton

I'd like to see Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series adapted into a TV show - the first book would be maybe half a 20-24 episode season, to really get into the depth and complexity of the story and world.

I wouldn't mind seeing Neal Stephenson's Snowcrash as a film, though. Or Dan Simmons' Hyperion series - though it'd be a better TV show or British-style longform series with a definitive end.

I'd have to go with Neil Gaiman's American Gods or China Miéville's The Scar. Gaiman would steal some of that sweet goth-tween angst moolah from the Twilight fans, but Miéville's sense of vision and freshness would approach a cross between Star Wars and The Matrix, giving steampunk-ish New Weird a boost as a new film genre.

What would you like to see on the big screen?
