What is a book you'd like to see made as a movie?
I would love to see Bill Brysons adventure A Walk In The Woods made in to a movie. It would be a comedy but a boring one for people like me who don't need much to be entertained.
What book or story would you like to see made into a movie or TV series?
I recently read a really good young adult book titled "The Cure For Dreaming" by Cat Winters. It's about a teenage girl living in the early 1900's who is hypnotized and afterwards can see people's inner character as outer appearances. So a good person looks normal but a bad person looks like a monster. She also has to deal with a demanding father who is also a sadistic dentist. The suffragette movement makes for an interesting subplot and there's a good twist ending. I think it would be a terrific movie.
What movies would you like to see made into a book series?
Gladiator.The 300 (I think there’s a graphic novel of this one, I want an actual novel).The Book of Eli.Anaconda (yeah I know the movie was bad, I love it anyway, and would 100% read a book set in the jungle with people on the run from a giant snake.)Vikings. (Okay this is technically a show, still, I want a book.)Red Dead Redemption 1 And/or 2. This is a video game that would make a fantastic book. Someone please write it.On that note: Can’t forget Uncharted and The Last of Us.To be clear- I’m not saying I want someone to take the movie and put it on paper. I want books inspired by these movies/shows/games.
What movies would you like to see made?
I would like to see many of Jack Vance’s books made into film!There’s a gold mine of Fantasy stories, in the line of the Ring Trilogy, that can now be made with modern-day CGI. The Cugel saga comes to mind, as well as the Lyonesse trilogy.But my favourite work of his is in Science fiction. The Durdane series (aka Faceless Man) is perfect for a Star Wars-like atmosphere, as well as the Tschai series. The latter has been adapted as an 8-volume graphic novel, which is a good start.And my all time favourite story of his would be superb in film: The Moon Moth - a riveting short story, about a police investigation on a planet where showing your face is considered obscene, and everyone needs to use various musical instruments to underline what they are saying (mind you, using singing!). This would make for such an interesting soundscape, and the costumes would be completely crazy!The man has written close to 100 books, has won Hugos and Nebula awards, yet… Hollywood and other film-making countries (France, India, …) haven’t done squat. More interested in re-booting Spider-Man every 3 years.The only film adaptation of his I know of, is from a thriller he wrote as Jack Holbrook Vance, called Bad Ronald (1974). I could swear I’ve seen a French adaptation of that same book, but I’ve spent 5 minutes looking for it, and no luck yet.

What Heinlein book would you like to see made into a movie?
Dunno about movies. I’m thinking more and more that the TV mini-series is the best way to treat serious SF adaptations.That said: REVOLT IN 2100 (“If this goes on…”) could make a good cautionary tale even now.JOB is a great comedy and a nice counter to those terrible ‘LEFT BEHIND’ movies. It’s the only one of the late books I can see working though: the others are too post-modernist and self-referential to work for a general public.FRIDAY… No. Although it’s not a bad book (no, really it isn’t) it doesn’t have a narrative spine: it wanders all over to show us the world it’s set in.Many, many of the juveniles could work but probably not the ones set in the 1940s and 50s vision of the solar system. So not PODKAYNE OF MARS and STARMAN JONES would need considerable rewriting (for other reasons) but perhaps HAVE SPACE SUIT WILL TRAVEL, FARMER IN THE SKY, TUNNEL IN THE SKY, ORPHANS OF THE SKY, CITIZEN OF THE GALAXY.SPACE CADET got its time on the screen in the 50s of course. I’m not sure you reimagine it now. It’s certainly in the background of everything about Starfleet Academy in STAR TREK of course.
