protar Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Not sure if Superhero is up HBO's street (but then neither was Fantasy before GoT) but I'd love to see a big budget Live Action X-men TV show one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy89 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I'd love for them to do the Magister trilogy from C.S. Friedman. Perhaps too much fantasy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coz there's a fun little easter-egg for you in that. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabagon Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Mention of Planetary above reminded me of E.E. Smith's Lensman series. Also, I hope to see Michael Moorcock's Eternal Champion dramatized. For something similar to Game of Thrones, The Deryni series of Katherine Kurtz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l2 0 5 5 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 A mini series on Robert's Rebellion, Dance of the Dragons, Greyjoy Rebellion, Aegon's Conquest, Blackfyre Rebellion... Any of the above, really. The material has a solid foundation already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceluby Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 The HYPERION SAGA!!!! (including Endymion and Rise of Endymion) I always imagined it as a anime, but w/ enough $$$ you could do a real life version and it would be EPIC! ETA: This would be perfect because it's very character driven with science based sci-fi set a few hundred years into the future. Please let this happen. PLEEEAAASSSSEEEE!!!!!

Ruin Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 A KOTOR, or TOR era series. Could be an entire new story, or a possible aftermath/reformation set-up. It'd be rated TV-MA, because we can finally portray Mandalorians the way they should be. :drool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all swedes are racist Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Have you read Planetary? Coz there's a fun little easter-egg for you in that. :PShit, planetary would be gnarly. X-files on peyote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerolunar Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Or maybe the opposite: an intentionally outrageous horror show inspired by Junji Ito circa Uzumaki or Tomie. Uzumaki would be awesome to see adapted. Also, make IT by Stephen King into a 1-season series. The pace of the book fits nicely into one seaon, I think.

CyanidePie Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I'd love to see The Warlord Chronicles adapted but it would definitely be better as a trilogy of movies. Get Neil Marshall to direct and a nice budget and that trilogy could be incredible. As far as a TV show, I'd love to see a Batman show that was true to the source material and included the other members of the bat family. Maybe something in the style of the Arkham trilogy of video games. With the size and diversity of Batman's rogue gallery, you could get a ton of mileage out of the show.

wolverine Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 A ten-episode Shogun miniseries.Preferably written and directed by yours truly (trust me, it would be excellent). This. OR McCullough: Masters of RomeDunnett: Lymond ChroniclesCornwell: Saxon Tales (? whatever they're called)Something Ghengis Khan, maybe Harold Lamb as source material since Conn Iggulden blows EDIT: Looking back I said something Ghengis Khan over a year ago. Good thread, but how was it resurrected and how cyclical is this place getting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolverine Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 As someone pointed out, Dune is one of the classic scifi novels that is not approprietly filmed yet.I mean all the 7 or 8 books including the last ones witch wrote the son of Frank Herbert to complete the series.This would be very epic and could only be done as a TV series.The dune cycle offers so many ethic and philosophical insights about how to gain power and what to do with it and the development of human kind.I think I heard some rumor about someone collecting money for a dune project.Has someone more information about that? Careful which books you consider part of the Dune canon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordsteve666 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I would love someone to make a series covering all of H P Lovecraft's mythos stories. Or at least the major ones: Call of Cthulu, Mountains of Madness, Shadow over Innsmouth etc. Set it in Arkham and use some of the recurring characters/names from the university as main cast. You could do one short story an episode, or possibly make them as mini-movie style eps like what was done with the Sharpe books. There's such a wonderfully dark collection of monsters and sinister goings on that you could go really dark and gritty with this. Plus a lot of the horror is unseen or implied rather than all out gore so it would be interesting to see what could be done with it. I suppose Penny Dreadful is a similar sort of idea, but it seems to be sticking to the more classic literary monsters. At least the bits of it I've seen.

Liffguard Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I'd love to see a big-budget series of Mark Waid's Irredeemable. Lots of cool characters, plotting and scheming and backstabbing as well as more normal downbeat interaction, great visuals and awesome action. Too long for a movie but would make for an awesome show. Edit: Also I second whoever wanted to see Y The Last Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
