Movies that would be cool, but will never happen

I think CGI has come far enough now to produce a movie based on Lord Valentine's Castle by Robert Silverberg and there's plenty of material for a sequel should it prove to be successful. The nice thing about a book that primarily focuses on the setting is that film favors such stories. Much of the book text can be captured in a single frame and the plot can be handled more completely as a result.

indeed add those books to my list also. :)
I would perfer the Zahn Trilogy around Grand Admiral Zahn. I really loved the characters there. Though I admit, the action scenes of the X-Wing series would be a great addition. :)

I think it would be fun to see a production of the Stainless Steel Rat.

I'd second that. Excellent series that I'm rereading right now.

Few others that I'd enjoy, at least...

Andre Norton's Solar Queen series.
Asimov's Robot trilogy.
Asimov's Nightfall.
LeGuin's Earthsea series.
The new Tales of the Otori by Lian Hearn would be good too.

I could probably think of more, but those are the one's at the top of my mind.

Be careful of what you ask for. I have a DVD which contains a movie called Nightfall. It has something to do with Asimov's story (though not a heck of a lot). It was found in the bargain bin and should have been left there.

Hell, I paid money to see it in a theater back when it came out. <shudder>
