Frank Herbert's Dune series and Piers Anthony's Xanth books! I know they did Dune, the movie, which was horrendous as a Dune movie, but fine if you pretend it...
... So they made a bad adaption. But why do the books not lend themselves to a film or TV series? Forget that the previously made efforts sucked - why wont the...

I believe the Dune books require such a suspension of disbelief, the idea that a human can turn into a sandworm, the longevity of that creature and how he...
... Non-movie entertainment that would not lend itself to a movie adaption, due to the nature of the story, characters or medium. Like they used to say about...

OK, I will limit it to movies that shouldn't be made then. I gotta go along with the Dune books, but my feeling is because of the spiritual philospohy aspect...

For my own 2 cents worth, I would have to say it is unlikely that Leiber's Fahfrd and the Grey Mousers series could (or should) be filmed. And then there are...
Foundation is in the works. Stranger was, a few years back, with Tom Hanks being touted for Velentine. But, I haven't heard anything on that in at least 5...
Found this one at Barnes & Noble for a decently low price. The front of the DVD reads as follows: "The All New Silent Movie. HPLHS Motion Pictures presents The...

Thanks for the info. I'll be checking those out also. Since the DVD is dated 2005 I was wondering about any other films. Guess I'll have to mosey over to their...

That's a good list, Patrick. I agree that everything is filmable now, from a tech viewpoint. And that's actually part of the problem these days :-) Greetings...

Thanks. I try. And I wholeheartedly agree that the technology is a problem sometimes. Too heavy a dependence on CGI often causes filmmakers to overlook the...
For some reason this made me think of the Elric stories and the Thomas Covenant books. I doubt these would make good films since the protagonists are not...
They can't do Elrick because Stacy Keach is too old to play him. Its a 10 pointer is anyone else gets it. Sam (the grrl) Life isn't about staying inside...
My origional thought about the Leiber books concerned characters like Ningable of the Nine Eyes, etc, but CGI would take care of that problem. I don't really...
Ahhh...the casting problem. That was always a concern with Stranger in a Strange Land (and I don't think Hanks would be the right choice) and Nicholas Cage as...
