There actually was a 2008 animated Dragonlance movie with a good voice cast. But I hear it was terrible and I haven't forced myself to watch it.
Yeah, it is. Out of boredom, I watched it one Sunday when I had nothing to do and could only make like 20 minutes into it before I shut it off. It is not good at all lol.Here it is in its horrible glory
The Monster at the end of this Book. It’s the one with Grover from Sesame Street. They made a second one where Elmo fucking ruins it by being all annoying… Another Monster at the end of this Book. Maybe in the third one Grover kills Elmo?
I’ve just realised perhaps the Pleistocene series by Julian May could probably be pulled off, especially if using the original (to me) cover illustrations as visual ‘canon’.
The Red Rising series is worth it.
he GONE series by Michael Grant. Ive wished for a series based on the books since I first touched them.
Any of the William Gibson trilogies. Even though The Peripheral didn't work out.
Nothing. I don't trust them to not try and make their own "vision" and fuck it up.
I don't really get that mentality. If the show is bad, the books are still just as good and you'll have lost nothing except maybe some wasted time.

Bolo. They'd have to do it in the *Love, Death, and Robots" format, since they're all short stories and no recurring characters, but it'd be great like that.
Early Mormon church history is about as bizzarre and dramatic as it gets. I think a well-produced & historically accurate dramaticization of the weird beginnings of the Mormon church would make for a good miniseries.
Damn. Went from wanting to write a short story to making a world spanning 16 novels, lol.
That's insane

There are some really great kids books I've read to my daughter that I think would work well in a visual medium.
In particular the work of Alastair Chisholm (Orion Lost, The Consequence Girl and Adam 2) would work well I think.
Also Jamie Littler's Frostheart series would be great.
I'd also like to see an adaptation of How To Train Your Dragon that's much closer to the books than the movie series of the same name. The books are so good but so different from those films, and their story and characters would make a great TV show IMO.
Earthbound/Mother 3 live action and serialised (or pretty much anything nintendo—zelda type got thing would be cool)
Jhereg series by Steven Brust
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
Dragonlance is a good one.
- Wheel of Time
- Mistborn
- The Uplift Saga
- The Alex Benedict Series

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.
