Apparently it's currently being made by a director called Hillcoat, I hope he does it justice.

He directed The Road, another McCarthy novel so that makes sense. The last thing I saw of his was 'Lawless' with Tom Hardy which was ok but a little disappointing overall.

There's a series of five books (it's actually eighteen but the main series is the first five) called 'Necroscope' about a bloke who can talk to the dead and has to fight a bunch of ancient vampires.

It's bloody brilliant reading. Just the right amount of B-movie schlock horror stuff.

Exactly the sort of series Netflix would commission and then cancel after one season.

There's been talk of Robert Muchamore's CHERUB series being adapted for over 10 years now, but nothing has ever come of it. They did a decent job with Alex Ryder imho.

The Day after Roswell - Colonel Philip J. Corso

Mind blowing stuff , The Pentagons covert release of alien technology through private companies , such things as the microchip ,fibre optic cables and wires and night vision technologies .

 

[Blues Guitarist]

Further to the sci-fi films thing, I would love to see PKD's 'Ubik' made into a film.

A few people have had a pop at it to no avail.

I reckon there's a cracking MOVIE in there somewhere.

Agreed, one of my favourite books.

Birds of prey, would make a decent film I think. I absolutely love the book anyway

One book that I've read recently, that IS being made into a film, and will be released in May next year is 'The Salt Path'

I'm planning to do that same walk (South West Coast path - it's approx 630 miles without any deviations)

Looking forward to it.

Any of Philip Kerr's Bernie Gunther novels

 

[ken tiler]

Bloody Southerners by Spencer Vignes with Michael Sheen and Timothy Spall as Clough and Taylor (again). Mmm... who to cast as Pete Ward, Tony Towner and Sully etc?

Any of my wife's. I'm not greedy, a couple hundred grand would suffice.

 

[Han Solo]

I'll take anything that isn't either some Swedish crime novel or one of a billion rewrites of Enuma elish.

 

[albionfan37]

That don’t look like a Wilbur smith classic to me

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

a few weeks ago I was reading Conclave by Robert Harris and thought “this could make a good film.

and it has been released as such a few days ago, and it is very good indeed.

The 3 remaining unadapted books of The Expanse - Persepolis Rising, Tiamat's Wrath and Leviathon Falls.

 

[FamilyGuy]

The rest of (or even a better version of) the Narnia Series - starting with The Magicians Nephew, which is actually the first in the series (as I have often been heard to say).

The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks
