nameraka Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 so we don't get any more bad adaptions of tv shows or reboots of films that didn't need to be rebooted. my suggestions: "Sharp Teeth" by Toby Barlow http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1724365.Sharp_Teeth "Number9dream" David Mitchell http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6820.number9dream "The Raw Shark Texts" Steven Hall http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/144800.The_Raw_Shark_Texts
Ric Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 Sure, lots of reboots are stupid but don't get people being upset about them. Don't have to watch.
bnmjy Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 And Then There Were None, by Agatha Christie . . . but with its original title. :poop:

fuggnificent Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 Theres plenty of novels being converted but i wouldn't mind the rest of anne rices novels.

Not you specifically, meant all the "mah childhood!" and "no original movies exist anymore!" people. Topic made me think of them.

mthor Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 I 'd like to see somebody try to film House of Leaves. Just reading it was weird enough - I don't know if you could even make into a movie, but it'd be interesting to watch someone try.
NaBarney Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 Invisible Monsters + Rant, both by Chuck Palahniuk No idea how these haven't been made yet considering how successful fight club was. Instead we got Choke.

Bouvre Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 I still, very badly, want the Coen Brothers to direct Chabon's The Yiddish Policemen's Union, as they had written a draft. The only problem is it seems they've moved on.
