what should be the next big fantasy movie or show?

[C.B. Jones]

I think it should be the Prince of nothing as a T.V. show.But what do you think?

I'm actually against the idea of striving to adapt every popular work of prose fiction into a visual form. I know that it's something Hollywood likes because it comes with a built-in fan base, but there have been enough disappointments (*cough* Eragon) that I'm content to wait for something original that's more suited for the format.

Magyk, Larklight, or Mortal Engines

I'm still waiting for a Percy Jackson movie.

But there already is a Percy Jackson movie... O.o;

I've always wanted to see Robin Hobb's and Sara Douglass' books as well as Feist's Magician done as TV series/films - but I would be so picky about casting that it could be a catastrophe to me if characters are badly cast! Casting, plot, setting ... everything could be done wrong. For the most part, I think books are better left to the imagination and in print. I would love to see how they would adapt Douglass' bird-winged Icarii people, though. I can't even comment on Game of Thrones, since I haven't read the books yet.

Hmmm... I would have to think about what they could adapt well. A mistborn script has been written, but I'm scared about that. It will be really tough to do allomancy right. If they did the original Dragonlance Chronicles, I would be pretty interested. Right now I'm reading Name of the Wind, and I think that could work. I think a movie about either Legend or Waylander could be done very well, but I doubt Gemmell has the name recognition to bring in huge box office numbers. Outside of fantasy, I would love to see Cornwell's Grail Quest or Gemmell's version of Troy turned into a film trilogy. The casting on the last one would have to be extraordinary though.

THE LEGEND of REAVER

The original Dragonlance Chronicles would be cool... not because the writing was that great, but because it still holds a lot of sentimental value for me. It was the first fantasy series I ever read, even before The Hobbit. It would be interesting to see what TNT or AMC could do with it...

But more than that, I would like to see a series-type adaptation of Sword of Truth (Goodkind). It could run for many seasons if successful, which I believe it would be. It doesn't have the mature/purely brutal edge that Song of Ice and Fire has, but that might make it more attractive for younger audiences and sensitive adults.

Malazan Book of the Fallen! But only if HBO does the job. That would be thrilling and probably even outrunning TrueBlood.
