[QUOTE="Thunderfoot, post: 6059510, member: 34175"] As I sit here thinking about the posts after mine I have to admit, in the age of seamless computer renderings, I would like to see someone adapt McAffrery's "Pern" novels into a set of miniseries. Just the "Dragonriders" and "Harper Hall" books, the others were a little flat, but the "Dragonriders" are packed full of action and the "Harper Hall" has enough bodice ripping (of a sort anyway) to keep any middle-aged lonely housewife on the edge of her couch cushions. And of course, the "Harper Hall" series is a coming of age story of a young girl who is in that awkward in-between stage of boyish-girl and young woman, perfect for the tween and young teen "Twilight" crowd. It would have to be a mini-series though, movies couldn't do it justice, there is just too much drama to bring about resolution, cutting it for time would leave critical parts of the story on the floor. Another I would like to see adapted (although it will NEVER happen) is the "Wheel of Time" series, but much like "Harry Potter" you had best get a cast that's in it for the long haul up front and then sign a 13 year TV license so you can do one book a year as a running TV serial - BBC probably has the best chance to pull this one off. Of course, most of the production money would have to go casting, which would be another problem, who plays who? [/QUOTE]
