Grok this ....Robert Heinlein ....Stranger In a Strange Land
I think it says more of the human condition..than any other book . Science fiction from the master!
' It takes humankind apart. And puts reality simply..! As if your futuristic .. dutch uncle was questioning mans yearning for god? Suspension of Disbelief ..........A right of passage in the 70's. Am I really that old?

The Thomas Covenant series by Stephen Donaldson. Perfect for today's CGI

I am not a fan of books turned into movies, except when it come to Neil Gaiman
s and Jim Butcher'sworks.

Heart shaped box by Joe Hill. Definitely would be mad if they messed it up but it would be very creepy if done well.

The God of Small Things

The Dragon Riders of Pern, by Anne McCaffrey.

Stranger in a Strange Land!

Lots of good suggestions, esp Dune done right. I'm going to go with two.

The Chronicles of Amber, by Roger Zelazny

The Incarnations of Immortality by Piers Anthony

"...do it correctly, and not turn it into an abortion..."

Translation:

"Whhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, the bad men didn't make my head movie....!"

Though the book Ready Player One was wonderful, I thought the movie was pretty good though it failed to express much of the charm and nostalgia of the book.

I'd really like to see an updated version of Asimov's Fantastic Voyage made into a movie. It's been over 50 years since the original movie was made.

The Caves of Steel, with The Naked Sun and The Robots of Dawn to follow as sequels. They were some of Isaac Asimov’s best.

Not like the I, Robot adaptation though, which was pretty awful.

The entire Dune series, all 500 million books worth. Yes I know we had a film and a TV mini series but I want the whole kit and caboodle. I'll especially looked forward to Dune XVII, it should get really interesting by then

I'd love for I Am Legend to finally get a proper film adaptation. More recently Black Mad Wheel by Josh Malerman.

the possessed, by dostoevsky, and i once began to adapt that myself, but got distracted.

Red Dwarf!

I would like to see more of The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher

A.G. Riddle's Origen series, Extinction series, or Long Winter series

Done already, "Pride & Predjudice" with Colin Firth!

Dune done right

Armor by John Steakley. We certainly have the technology now to do the 3m tall alien ants now, although it would take some imagination to pull off the biggest twist of the book without completely blowing the reveal.

It would make up for the mess John carpenter made of Steakley's second novel, Vampire$, turning it into the absolutely awful and formulaic John Carpenter's "Vampires". In, fact, tell you what, I'd like to see a proper adaptation of Vampire$ as well.

Probably a series would be needed to do either one right, they're both incredibly rich and complex novels.

Rift War Saga

Richard Kadrey’s, Sandman Slim series (currently in development and slated to be directed by the same guy who directed the John Wick films), and John Scalzi’s, Old Man’s War series. Currently still in the planning stages.

The percy jackson books

The Ice People by Rene Barjavel
