How would that even work? Latro forgets everything every day
>>
>>68123311
Well the film wouldn't be shot from his perspective like the book. The plot would still progress but the audience would know that Latro will forget.

That doesn't mean anything, Thus Spoke Zarathustra or the Epic of Gilgamesh are ''''genre fiction'''', but you wouldn't dismiss those would you? Pretentious little cunt.

Raymond E. Feist's Magician

Don't know why this hasn't happened yet

>>68123149
Holy shit, that reminds me that I need to read Book of the New Sun again
>>
>>68125353
Too much to take on + people don't read any more. All future fantasy is going to be based off of video game plot lines

That trilogy by Jeff Vandermeer, Annihilation and the others.

I just checked and it is getting made. Oscar Isaacs and Natalie Portman are in it.
>>
>>68125353
I think Magician, Silverthorn and A Darkness at Sethanon would do well as a three season TV show, less as a trilogy of films. There's a lot of stuff going on like >>68125403 mentioned.

They wouldn't be video games then. Games are a different medium, the play comes before the thought.

Developed off Ocarina's system of gameplay. They just designed the story around a new way of traversing dungeons and the town.

But it was a fantastic story. Full of multiple interwoven plotlines and with an added narrative device of time travel. It shows that a video game can be made with both interesting gameplay and excellent plot.

But they couldn't show where he rapes his sister in the end on the big screen?

pretty much 90% of film is adapted from books.

Imajica by Clive Barker.

Probably a trilogy it's so big, possibly even a TV series due to the insane amount of violence and kinky sex. Guillermo Del Toro would be good for all the creatures and worlds. Even the SJW couldn't hate it as one of the main characters is a gender bender black alien ninja killing machine. Which sounds gay but its actually pretty cool.

my favorite idea ive had is an hbo miniseries based on this book

for you guys who havent read it, each chapter basically tells the interesting stories of these characters who all live on this street in trinidad, with them all intertwining and making this really great sense of a breathing community

It's set to be directed by Tomas Alfredson, and has been in development hell for a few years now.

The cgi would be absolutely shit and dated within a year, so it would have to be animated desu sempai

Any Neal Stephenson book, they're extremely movie-like so they'd be easy to adapt.

Though they're so long they'd do better as HBO miniseries rather than movies.
>>
>>68125492
It would be cool if they stick to the book but we all know they wont and make it womyn stronk and explosions that the lowest common denominator tend to love

Actually "Book of the Long Sun" would be the perfect Gene Wolfe to adapt.
