Re: What book would you like to see made into a movie?
Foundation. Even though it sounds like a complete disaster, I'm going to make the assumption in this thread that it would be some genius director that could do it right. I wouldn't mind taking creative liberties by expanding the dialogue.
Star Wars stole a little bit of its thunder with Coruscant = Trantor, but still, I'd love to see the Seldon, Hardin, and the Mule onscreen. Plus they could get a gazillion sequels out of it.

Good call. I think CGI is advanced enough to do the Foundation story justice. I'd like to see it done with a British slant, actors speaking with British accents and what not.

Catch-22.
I know, I know. But I think Charlie Kaufman and Spike Jonez could do an amazing job. Maybe as a miniseries. SOMETHING.

It absolutely failed to capture the humor. And it had fantastic cast (Alan Arkin, Bob Baliban, John Voigt, etc.) I just don't think this one could translate to the screen. Perhaps I am wrong.

Re: What book would you like to see made into a movie?
I really agree. I picked up the movie Catch 22 in the budget bin at Walmart and was really excited when I saw the allstar cast...until I started watching it and it completely missed the charm of the book. I really don't think it would be possible to make a movie that did the book justice.

Catcher in the Rye. Probably because this will never, ever happen. [/ QUOTE ] Too internal to translate well, I think. Same for most books.

Re: What book would you like to see made into a movie?
I was thinking more for the reason that Salinger has very specific and detailed instructions on what will happen to his works when he dies.
And while it would be daunting, I'm pretty sure a very talented filmmaker could crack the text and visualize the narrative. The challenge is part of the reason I'd like to see the film.
