Elvis Cole and Joe Pike series. Surprised it hasn't been done yet.
None.
I don't see what making a film or TV series adds to any book, all they ever seem to do is a disservice to the original story in the attempt to squeeze as much money from it as possible.
I'd rather more fully voice acted audiobooks were made staying more true to the original texts but adding that extra element to draw you in than just one narrator trying to differentiate characters with different voices.

It's that last part that effs it up. For example, I really liked Luhrman's Romeo+Juliet. That was a creative interpretation. I enjoyed Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I thought the books were decent, but the movie captured the best bits, IMO. Early seasons of Game of Thrones were good. I like some of the changes made to move the internal dialog to conversations. It gave the side characters more life.
It's when the artistic vision is cast aside in the name of profit, then the work of art suffers.

Warrior Cats. Talked about it with a friend the other day, I think an animated show would work best
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.
Ender's Game as season 1, and then Speaker For the Dead as seasons 2-3 (with a reworked ending rather than drawing from Xenocide).
Tunnels hands down
The Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zealazny is ripe for CGI heavy HBO treatment. I think it would be very well received at this day and age.
- The Illuminae Files by Jay Kristoff and Aime Kaufman
- Scythe trilogy by Neal Shusterman
The Commonwealth Saga (Pandoraβs Star and Judas Unchained) by Peter F. Hamilton would make a great serialized TV drama.
Can I haz original content plz?
