Which Science Fiction novel would you like to see in film?

I would say... Michael Crichton's "Prey". Might be able to manage a sci-fi/horror out of this one. I read the book a while back and was oddly fascinated by ideas surrounding the Nanotechnology and it's application.

Additionally, for such a thick and hardy book. Mike certainly knows how to keep the pacing up.

I would really like to see "The First Men in the Moon " by h.G. Wells to be turned into a movie. This lesser known book from 1901 has been turned into a movie twice already, (in 1919 and in 1964), and is definitely up for another film.

The story has some excellent possibilities for great pyrotechnics. The main characters of the book, Mr. Bedford and Dr. Cavor, work together to produce a new material, cavorite, which shields off gravity. Against all odds, they are actually able to create that material, and to some unexpected side-effects.

One of the first implementations is a spaceship, which they use to travel to the moon. There, the real adventure starts... I am currently reading this ebook on my Amazon Kindle, and really love it so far! (thanks Amazon, to provide that book for free!).

I would love to see the Darkness Series by Harry Turtledove made into a series of movies. Harry Turtledove is a writer who is best known for writing alternative history books. Some of his most famous ideas were books about what would have happened if the Nazis won the war, or if the South had defeated the North.

The Darkness Series is a series of six books that reflect World War II. The turn in the book is that the events take place on another planet where magic and monsters are possible. If you are a World War II buff, or at least know the basic concepts of the war, you quickly become enthralled with the series.

Each kingdom in the book relates exactly to one of the major countries that was involved in WWII. Teh kings of each country hold the same passions, faults, maneurisms, and styles as the major players from our history. The magic and monsters relate directly to weapons and war machines that were used during World War II.

Unlike many fantasy books, you do not have to have a history of reading fantasy to get involved in the series. You also do not have to have a great understanding of World War II to get the books, either (but it doesn't hurt). A friend of mine that I loaned the books to was able to understand the who's who and what's what of the books by simply reading the overview of World War Two off of Wikipedia.

Turtledove was able to create a large and living world in this series that many of his fans hope that he will revisit in the future. There are so many small nuiances of World War II and the leadeers of the time that he put in the book, that a fan like me who has read the series a few times, and studied World War II still finds things that were missed (by me not him). I was watching a documentary a few weeks ago on TV that had some home videos of Stalin, and FDR.

There were certain quirks and motions of these leaders that I noticed from the Darkness Series that I had never picked up on. There were also references made in the documentary that I had never known that were covered in teh series as well.

Ender's Game could make a great movie if you could find the right kid to play Ender. Haley Joel Osment would have been perfect. That being said, I worry when they make a movie out of a great science fiction book.

Too often the movie makers completely miss the point of the original book and just hijack the name and story outline. Examples are Starship Troopers and I Robot.

Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson would be my pick.

Personally, I'd like to see "Childhood's End" by Arthur C Clarke made into a movie. I really like the idea of an alien race coming to Earth and ending all of humanities conflicts through sheer technological dominance. A forced age of peace is brought upon the Earth and humans must figure out what they can do to create a destiny of their own (with no major environmental, political or social issues) within their circumstances.

I would have loved to see Stanley Kubrick make the film, it's shame he has passed on. He did such an amazing job with Clarke's famous novel, 2001: A Space Odyssey. A cover for Childhood's End.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
