That's not any Guy Gardner. That's Kevin Maguire's Guy Gardner. THE Guy Gardner.
Movies that would be cool, but will never happen

Hello,
[topic drift]
JLI broke my Marvel Zombie status - Giffen's art was cool, DeMatteis was succeeding in what he failed to do with the sinking ship of The Defenders, and Guy was a GL who was a polar opposite from one in the Denny O'Neill mold...
My own favorite Guy period is when he had Sinestro's Ring. Ten thousand curses on the foul GL editor who decreed that in the entire DC Universe, only Kyle would have GL-like powers...
edit: I remember seeing a cruel Internet hoax article about the shooting of a Green Lantern movie. Man did that guy have the casting down cold. Mel Gibson for Hal, Michael Dorn for Stewart, Denis Leary for Guy. If only it could be so!

Hmmm. Cool., but that will never be made, though.. Tough one.
The first that come to mind are either Lackey's Vanyel books or Lynn Flewelling's Nightrunner series. Both would be very cool; I'd especially love to see the full magical effects from the Herald-Mages.
The Deryni books would make a very cool movie, but I can see it being made at some point perhaps. Same with some of de Lint's Newford stories. Both those would be, in fact, easy to do from a budget standpoint (not a lot of tremendous sfx, save for a few scenes).

The Dragonlance novels by Weis & Hickman.
All of them.
*ducks various thrown dice*
These will never happen for various reasons, but the biggest being their sheer size. There are three trilogies and another novel in there, not counting the short stories/novellas in The Second Generation or the Raistlin 'prequel' books.
Maybe the first trilogy could be made, but I still doubt it.

A *good* version of The Jewel of Seven Stars by Bram Stoker. You know, one of the things other than Dracula that he wrote.
The retro-geek inner child in me wants to see Lone Wolf made into a movie, maybe just the first two books with the fight against Zagarna to whittle the movie down to manageable size. The others later, maybe.

A Pratchett Film?
In that case you might want to check out www.SnowgumFilms.com.
Only two days left of shooting before it's completed.

I would love to see Wilbur Smith's Birds of Prey, Monsoon[/I], Blue Horizon turned into movies... Then again when the dawn of “age of sail movies” maybe a series of privateers isn’t the pipe dream it uses to be.
Another Wilbur Smith series this time set in ancient Egypt, River God, [1]Warlock[/I] and it’s modern day sequel The Seventh Scroll.
John Jakes' Civil War epic, North and South, Heaven and Hell, Love and War... Got a miniseries in the 80’s but it pales in comparison to the books.
Also anyone looking for something to read don’t hesitate to try any of the above… They all have something for every taste and gender. Be it actions, friendship, romance, sex, and/or a small history lesson.
For straight fantasy, I wouldn’t mind seeing Dragonlance Chronicles on the big screen, I think the technology has gotten to the point where many large dragons would be believable, and rather “inexpensive” to make.
For Star Wars, I doubt you can go wrong with Timothy Zhan's series.
Oh and an author I expect to be popular in Hollywood any day now is: Vince Flynn, starting from the begining with Term Limits this is an author that hollywood is depsariate for. (Sort of in the clone of Tom Clancy or Robert Ludlum, but at the same time quite unique)

Lone Wolf and Cub was made into a series of Japanese movies. Apparently (I have never seen them) the acting by Lone Wolf and the Cub was spot on, but the plot was mangled egregiously. Still, might be worth checking out (it was mentioned in the back of one of the chapbook collections of Lone Wolf and Cub, and probably could be found after an internet search).

Definitely Zelazny's Amber, though yes, it might have to be a miniseries. Some rejiggering of the plot, though, done by a good writer could retain 98% of everything and still break it into 3 movies, I think.
And a good D&D movie would be wonderful.
