well, now that they've made 'Interview with the vampire', i think they should proceed 'The vampire Lestat', this time without Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. As good as they were in potraying the characters well, they're not well suited to the physical appearance of Lestat and Louis. maybe they could use some real European actors who have a real adrogynus look.....

Yep, would be nice to see Lestat as a movie. Other books I could think of: a few Shadowrun novels, H.P.Lovecraft works, Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time", C.S. Friedman's Coldfire trilogy. Cannot think of any others at this point (all the other books I have read in last year HAVE been made into movies at some point of time)

Hop on Pop

Speaking of vampire books - I'm looking for Poppy Z. Brite's Lost Souls in film form. Heard some rumors, but nothing more.

I also think you could get a great soundtrack out of Hop on Pop.

I'd like to see the Simarillion or Dragons Can Only Rust (one of my personal faves).

As far as Vampire Lestat goes- they're already making a movie that's a combo of VL/Queen of the Damned, and if they don't have Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt again I'll shoot them. While the characters in the movie didn't match the descriptions in the book (especially Armand- a 30-some year old hipsanic guy with black hair playing a 15 year pale-skinned Russian kid with auburn hair?), I thought the entire cast was very good. Frankly I'd rather have good actors than bad actors that look exactly like the characters.

but im extremely excited about the Death:Time of your Life (or was it High Cost of Living?) script that was turned in by Neil Gaimen the other week.

Also in Gaimen related goodies... for some reason i have this urge to see his collaberation with Yoshitaka Amano, the DreamHunters, be turned into something similar to Crouching Tiger. Theres just enough of a mix of reality and fairy tale to make it work, i think.

I do agree with the call for the wheel of time series to be made into a film, but not until its finished (anyone know when the next novel's due out?) and definitely not until a few years after the tolkein series is completed so it doesnt come across that Jordan and Co is just tryin to make a few bucks off the Rings flav.

Guilty Pleasures... or any of the stories crafted by Hamilton.

Marilyn Manson~ Long Hard Road out of hell~

(haha) i dont really read any real stories...but I just like the book.

True I actually cried because of that... Armand is one of my favorite characters....he's suppose to be a cherub child...and they made him to be....**hiss** cannot speak of such horror. Anyways I'd want The vampire Lestat to be made into a movie also.

While I agree with you all about makeing "LeStat" into a movie, I would really really like to see Memnoch The Devil made into a movie. And the best part of makeing that into a movie is all the angery church people bitching about how that movie makes God look more evil than good. The Church would hate it.....hehe.... but anyway, yes........I would like to see Memnoch made into a movie.

The book I would like to see made into a movie is Messiah. It's about a seriel killer who is killing people with the names of the apostles and he is killing them the way they died in the bible...

the bible..again damnit.

I agree...

I think maybe Vampire the Masquerade would be a good movie too, instead of an RPG or a book.

anything by r.a. salvatore, but i think hollyshit would end up fucking it up.

I would have to say Violin of Memnoch the Devil.
I loved them!

I'm trawling through Anne Rice's The Witching Hour - could be made into a reasonable film - there's enough deapth to the characters.

There was a series I read years ago by Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens that would make a great movie. The books were "Shifter" and "Nightfeeder", and either one would be a great movie. Now if they'd only finish the series...

And as long as they're turning video games into movies, I think "Resident Evil" would make a kick-ass movie...

Kat

the Turner Diaries...err no wait.:p

So, does anybody know when Queen of the Damned is supposed to be done?

Ah, I'd love it if they would make Memnoch the Devil....that was my favorite out of the vampire chronicles.

SereneDarkness

There was a mini series of that in the UK a couple of months ago. I didn't realise it had been a book, i just thought they nicked the idea from Seven.
