One i can think of would be "Domain" by James Herbert.

What would you pick?

"Hannah's Departure" from Lost Odyssey is great! Would love that. Most of Kaim's dreams should be.

Malekith and Shadow King by Gav Thorpe. A movie depicting the sundering in the Warhammer universe would be epic.

The Blood-stained Labyrinth, mini arc from Ghost Hunt. (originally a light novel)

Now that would be a good horror movie, with :o a good plot.

:(Best sum vid (best viewed mute)

I would so like to option the rights. If I get the experience, skill, and finances I will.:twisted:

The Auctioneer by Joan Samson. I can see someone like John Hillcoat doing a great film out of that book.

Heh, I'm currently playing that game. The dreams are a very nice story-telling aspect of the game progression.

Oh, and for me it would be The Lord of the Rings ... wait, what? It already exists? Boy, that's embarassing. I need to catch that one, hopefully it was done well ... What's that? It was excellent?? WHAT?!? The trilogy won 17 academy awards???!!??

Wow.

Ok, well, then maybe The Integral Trees or Ringworld by Larry Niven. They would need to be in 3D.

A Shadow Over Innsmouth. In fact, just let me make it so some dullard won't bring his Hollywood sensibilities to the adaptation ("update" it for the modern audience, use CGI, write in a blonde love interest, etc. etc.)

I also think if just the right people made an Augustus Carp film, it could be legendary.

I really think there's some good screenplay potential in MR James' work, but maybe more for a TV series in the vein of Tales of the Unexpected or Twilight Zone (or for the 2 other people on this forum familiar with it: Quiet, Please in a TV format). They're awfully short stories, and wouldn't translate very well to a feature-length movie.
