    Default Books to movies/games

    What pieces of literature would you like to see made into a movie or a video game? Personally, I think Animal Farm would make a badass RTS.

    I think R. Salvatore's trilogies on Drizzt would make awesome movies.... but otherwise most literature is better before being ruined with movie/tv adapted script

    I call him putter putters. But that's not his name. his name is goober. But you will call him kitty.

    Eh, I wouldn't say all books were ruined by movies/games. LoTR is a prime example.

    Speaking of Animal Farm... I'd like to see some form of RPG set in the world of "1984" by George Orwell(also wrote Animal Farm). A game or movie adaptation of Silmarillion, a book on the history of Middle-Earth, would kick ass. Also any adaptation of Beowulf(or other Anglo-Saxon or Norse legends) into games would kick ass. I'd also like to see some movie about the "invasion" of Christianity in Norway, something historical and shit...

    Funny that you bring that up as I thought the movies did an incredible injustice.
