I want to see some Brandon Sanderson novels made into movies or TV shows. Preferably animated as I don't think a live action would work.

The Culture series by Iain M Banks.

Though I am not sure how you would translate some of them (Excession...) into a visual story.

Redwall.

Do it in full photo realistic CGI; I want to see the beautiful castles and countryside, all the delicious food, and the gruesome battles in all their glory.

Bit of a normie but the Dark Tower series would be awesome. Mixing tons of genres, having very different locations to film in. It would be extremely expensive to produce.

The gunslinging of Idris Elba in the movie was nice but everything else wasn't.

Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons

The Witcher but they actually follow the source material.

The Mars trilogy by KSR. I think 3 8 hour long episode seasons could work

Ursula le Guin anyone?

The Left Hand of Darkness might be interesting. The Word for Tree is Forest would likely get thought of as an odd Avatar clone. But The Dispossessed would probably never get made, people would find worth in the politics and abandon the megacorp making it.

Mistborn by Brandan Sanderson.

The Nights Dawn Trilogy by Peter F. Hamilton. Not as a trilogy, though, this would have to be series, maybe three seasons per book.

Pretty much any Brandon Sanderson book series. Mistborn, Steelheart, Way of King's, Skyward.... Etc

My attention span makes reading really hard. I read this from start to finish. It's well worth the read if you're into stories like it

The First Law series by Joe Abercrombie. I think it actually might become a movie.

Murderbot, but I don't think it could make the transition to film.

The Dying Earth series by Jack Vance.
It’s an old series, but the imagination and world building put into it should make for some great stories.

World war Z made a pretty bad movie. However, it would do a gneat TV show, in the style of these 1990's show with in dependant episodes despite some metaplot

Asimov's Foundation series. It hasn't been done yet. By anyone.

Robin Hobb's fantasy books would be interesting. Probably quite hard to adapt well though.

I'd like to see some 40k movies. Start with the Horus Heresy.

I've always thought The Belgariad/Malloreon/prequels (David & Leigh Eddings) would make for an interesting anime. It's a very shonen kind of story and world.

The Monster at the end of this Book. It’s the one with Grover from Sesame Street. They made a second one where Elmo fucking ruins it by being all annoying… Another Monster at the end of this Book. Maybe in the third one Grover kills Elmo?

I have a couple. I’d love to see Prydain done right but I don’t have much hope anymore.

Temeraire got optioned by Peter Jackson years and years ago. I remember thinking that Richard Armitage would be a perfect Lawrence, but it’s been too long; I think he’s probably too old now.

Anything to do with Pern. Some good high fantasy and tech mixed. Might be a harder sell to the general public. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragonriders_of_Pern

The Brainship series (The ship who sang). This would go over well with the Star Trek, Star Wars fansbase, I think. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ship_Who_Sang

The Vorkosigan saga. This would also go well with the Star Trek/Wars fanbases. More political than Brainship series. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorkosigan_Saga

The Dragearan books about Vlad Taltos by Steven Brust. Especially the first few. High fantasy mystery novels. This would be an easy sell, IMO. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Brust#Vlad_Taltos

This made me realize I haven't read any new books in a while.

Encyclopedia Brown

They announced an Illuminatus! series back in 2019 that I haven't heard any news of since.

I would love to see a movie or miniseries based on the "Bas-Lag" novels by China Mieville, which are "Perdido Street Station", "The Scar", and "Iron Council"

I think the best description of these books would be "Gritty Steampunk Fantasy" with a very generous dose of Weird. The writing is very descriptive, even when you really would rather not know about what's being described.

Some things that are mentioned in these three books:

• Mosquito people. The males are quiet and studious, the females are strong, dangerous, and driven mad by hunger

• Punishment factories. Criminals are sentenced to "Remaking". The Remade are people who have had either machinery or animal parts grafted onto them. Most Remakings are cruel and useless.

• Smokestone. Rock that will change unpredictably into smoke - and back into stone.

• Frog people who can make water hold a shape for a short time. A longshoreman's strike in one of the books involved a bunch of these guys forming a large gap in a river.

• Sentient steam powered constructs

*Drugs that let you experience other people's dreams.

There is a lot I have to leave out due to spoilers, but it would be an awesome series.

The name of the wind.

The Aubrey/Maturin series by Patrick O’Brien. 21.3 books of amazing naval adventures, spy stuff, and survival. They made a movie with Russell Crowe but it doesn’t nearly capture the scope of the novels.

Abhorsen series by Garth Nix.

There are some really great kids books I've read to my daughter that I think would work well in a visual medium.

In particular the work of Alastair Chisholm (Orion Lost, The Consequence Girl and Adam 2) would work well I think.

Also Jamie Littler's Frostheart series would be great.

I'd also like to see an adaptation of How To Train Your Dragon that's much closer to the books than the movie series of the same name. The books are so good but so different from those films, and their story and characters would make a great TV show IMO.
