While it is cool to have a bunch of genre fiction hitting screens big & small of late, I lament that too much of it is reboots & retreads, plus some sequels thrown in for good measure. Then, of course, there is the percentage of it that is simply not good...
Yet there's so much good stuff out there as yet untouched that could work well on TV or as movies.
My partial list from elsewhere:
I could have gone on, the more I thought about it- Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas stories would work well, for instance.
And yeah- there are definitely some properties that could really use a reboot that don't seem to be on the radar right now, like John Butcher's Dresden stuff.
What stuff would you like to see?

Glen Cook's Garrett, P.I. series, Ben Bova's Grand Tour novels, Harry Turtledove's Darkness series, Kurt R.A. Giambastiani's Fallen Cloud novels, C.J. Cherryh's Foreigner novels, Kristine Kathryn Rusch's Retrieval artist novels, Fritz Lieber's Fafhrd & Grey Mouser stories, Michael Moorcock's Eternal Champion cycle (parts of it, at least), Barbara Hambly's Darkness stories, Thieves' World, Wild Cards, the Sword of Knowledge series...
