Books We'd Love to See Film Adaptations For!
"Whatever you've heard about Caraval, it doesn't compare to the reality. It's more than just a game or performance. It's the closest you'll ever find yourself magic in this world." --Stephanie Garber, Caraval
Every fight.
Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman: I would love to see how “London Below” would be depicted and if it’s anything like what I pictured.
Caraval by Stephanie Garber: I would love to see how the world would look with the technology we have now a days.
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami: A journey into subterranean worlds of the Japanese supernatural, a visceral critique of colonial occupation, and a meditation on love lost and redeemed. So, Hollywood it hurts!
Rivers of London series by Ben Aaronovitch: Police procedural and modern magic, aka The Wire meets Harry Potter (actually, it’s not nearly as gritty as The Wire, but you get the idea). Also, a lovely testament to the multicultural identity of London!
Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire: Every book highlights a different world and set of characters, so it could be a great TV series!
Small Spaces by Katherine Arden: Not enough horror movies geared towards younger viewers, so I think this one would be a great addition to the genre.
The Shamshine Blind by Paz Pardo: This would be a great mystery, Wes Anderson-style film with great splashes of color and high-intensity emotions.
Dead Silence by S. A. Barnes: A sci-fi psychological horror set on a stranded spaceship that would terrify and blow the mind of theatergoers everywhere.
Finlay Donovan is Killing It by Elle Cosimano: It’s almost a slap-stick comedy in the middle of a whodunit with dynamic characters that could easily be brought to life on screen.
Winter's Orbit by Everina Maxwell: The interplanetary politics, budding romance, and characters with depth and intricacies of their own would be so beautiful to watch!
