I've often wanted a movie/series based on the Dragonlance books or the Dark Elf trilogy. What would you all like to see done if you had the ability to do it?

Dragonlance is a good one.

  • Wheel of Time
  • Mistborn
  • The Uplift Saga
  • The Alex Benedict Series

Its not a series, just a standalone book but I would love to see a stop motion movie of the magnum opus. It's a book that was written by the makers of a stop motion short called the maker. I would love to see what they could do with a proper budget

I'd love the Wayfarer's series to be a collection of short TV shows. They could do like 6 hour long episodes per book. It would great

I would watch a well made series based on the Parker novels by Richard Stark.

This happened for me with wheel of Time. Be careful what you wish for.

The Gaunt's Ghosts Warhammer 40,000 stories.

If I were allowed some creative direction, I would specify that unless it was there in the source material there will be zero scenes of people just explaining shit instead of showing it

The Gentlemen Bastards series could work well: Not too much CGI needed, and fancy rennaisance italy aesthetics deserve a fantasy show about thieving orphans!

The Webnovel "Mother of Learning" It has four arcs. Each arc is long enough to be made into two seasons, each containing 8 episodes.

Ender's Game.

Hate the author, love the series. I've never been more angry with a movie, and a TV series with someone that's actually read the books BUT has also largely disassociated from OSC would go a long way towards repairing things.

Tunnels hands down

I would love to see Feist's sagas on screen.

That said, I only chose those because I'm already lucky enough to be seeing Wheel of Time come to the small screen, and it's a joy.

I feel like a Dark Elf Trilogy could only bring disappointment

GONE, really enjoyed that as a kid and when they then started making hunger game movies and everyone seemed to be following the formula I think it would've worked a treat around that time. It's not that similar to those however it's more supernatural mystery lord of the flies, but it would've felt like it belonged alongside the lines of hunger games and maze runner.

On another note the Jack Tanner books, especially Odin Mission would make great films or short series per book. Really enjoyed the pseudo retelling of world war 2 with bits of fiction mixed in.

The Malazan Book of the Fallen, by Steven Erikson.
