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?

    The Culture series by Iain M Banks.

    Though I am not sure how you would translate some of them (Excession…) into a visual story.

      I honestly think that would ruin it for all the Culture fans. Much as I love Banks’ work, I like the movie of the books that I’ve produced in MY head more than what anyone else could make.

        I’m kinda in this boat too. I’m glad Banks’ estate didn’t let the Amazon series go through. Something about a guy like Bezos hailing the books while being a billionaire capitalist egomaniac just makes me uneasy with the whole idea.

        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.

      They turned the inside the suit moments of Iron Man into pop culture. They could figure it out, I bet!

      I always thought the drone scenes would be so interesting on film like a mix between bullet time and 10000fps. Also weird storytelling seeing the other scenes pop up in drone time.
