Don't get me wrong: I love Twilight. I don't care who thinks it is retarded, weird, stupid, or simply a piece of crap. I love the books and I'm glad Stephenie Meyer wrote them. [Although I will say her sci-fi book The Host is heaps better. Really. And I have a whole long rant about Twilight, the fans, Stephenie, etc., but it is too long and frankly I'd rather not go into it without provocation]
BUT
I would rather be watching these books being turned into movies, preferably directed by someone like Peter Jackson, with music by James Newton Howard or Michael Giacchino, with an amazing cast:
1. The Prydain Chronicles - either a T.V. show or movies. Come on, that's 5 movies right there, or a mini-series!
2. The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle - they've been trying to make this one for years. Still 'in production'.
3. The Giver - same as above.
4. The Abhorsen trilogy - the most kick-ass fantasy films of the Millenium. For serious. I would LOVE to see this come to life with Peter Jackson at the helm.
5. Redwall - I'm not talking the new cheap CG that has been drowning the market recently. I am talking Pixar style. This would also be amazing.
What books would you like to see on the big screen?
