...What would be the book / novel / story you would love to see adapted into a movie / serie ?
Maybe a video game, maybe a music album ? It has been done too, sometime successfully...
Imagine you're rich enough to throw as much money as needed in such a project, without caring for benefits or fame, just for your pleasure.

I just downloaded The Martian Chronicles (Ray Bradbury) novels adapted into a mini-serie (with Rock Hudson, 1980) because i'm fond of the book since decades, and fond of the author's other books and novels (call me a romantic simpleton if you wish ^^, i'm a golden age speculative fiction fan since ever, between other things), it's cheesy and dated as fuck, but i can imagine how good it could be to be re-adapted with the technical skills of nowadays...even if it would fail to be a blockbuster, it still deserve to be done in my opinion, for the sake of adapting such a masterpiece with convincing visuals. But who still cares in 2023, right ?


mmmh, nice jacket and make-up...i bet martians still listen to disco ^^

Not a worse plan than coming back every decade with new adaptations of lame stories a la Superman etc with enormous budgets and little posterity anyway, single-use-movies (one time watch then forget about it until next rinse & repeat production, at best).

Most movies now are pretty shite, and i'm tired of all the gimmicks and gratuitous violence from the average opportunistic movie-making diaspora. Fortunately there is still some good stuff, here and there, but very little compared to the whole quantity of them.

Any ideas ?

I wish some of my dreams could be recorded they are so absolutely entertaining sometimes I want to go back to sleep to see how they end.

Some good ideas there...

They did remake it, in 3D. Yet they still hit the f'king iceberg.

Unwanted homeless dog who is always hanging around at cricket training, gets called up to put on the pads as the 12th man, when the bully, who's always throwing things at the dog for fun, gets hit in the nuts by a fast bowler after forgetting to put his box on. Dog then hits a 6 on the final ball of the game to win the championship and after being thrown in n the air several times by his teammates as the hero he then goes and marks his territory by pissing on the bully cricket bag. The end.
