What book series would you like to see made into a movie trilogy or a show with multiple seasons? (lemm.ee)

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?

I understand your point but feel it is a bit selfish.

I honestly think that would ruin it for all the Culture fans.

But it would also create a lot more Culture fans. Just as the LOTR movies got a huge number of people to read Tolkien.

I would love to see more people read Banks.

I like the movie of the books that I’ve produced in MY head more than what anyone else could make.

If they are ever adapted no one is going to force you to watch and you can reread them when ever you want.

Totally agree with you, many people said the same about Lord of the rings before Peter Jackson made an amazing adaptation. That doesn't mean every adaptation is good, far from it, but that shouldn't stop people from trying.
