    Jeff Noon's Vurt.

    Neil Stephenson's Snow Crash would be epic.

    Frank Miller's Ronin.

    Moorcock's Elric of Melniboné with modern special effects.

    What the hell--Jim's Dead Eye.

    Battlefield Earth -- a faithful adaptation, not the cinematic abortion they put out a couple of years ago.

    That happens to be in the works right now, supposedly the actor portraying Spike will be Keanu Reeves.

    I would really like to see more Kazuo Koike work turned into live-action, maybe some of Tezuka's mature work as well.

    I agreed The Dark Tower would be an epic movie.

    The Colour of Magic and Light Fantastic movies/mini-series were just on Prime in the last week or so in New Zealand, and they were awesome. Had Sean Aston and David Jason, although Vetinari's actor was pretty crap.

    http://www.fromrimtohub.com/?p=403 has some interesting stuff about them.

    Bernard Cornwell's Warlord Chronicle trilogy; the best, in my opinion, adaption of the Arthurian legend.

    Warcraft (the rts, not the mmorpg).

    Wheel of Time

    I will think of more later.

    Dresden of course, I have a powerful need to see dresden riding Sue, or Harry blasting out of the cave with thomas's sister.

    Knox said Pendragon and I agree. It describes alot of different worlds which In my opinion would be visual eye candy.

    World War Z. If not a movie a well done miniseries... kinda like taken.

    We're due for a truly epic zombie movie.

    A biographical flick on the life of Ben Franklin (the pervy, drinking parts would make for an epic movie. I'd settle for an Adams'esqqe mini series though).

    A Justice League movie.

    More His Dark Material's movies (I actually thought Golden Compass was awesome).

    A new WarGames movie that doesn't blow testicles and returns to its real-life hacking roots.

    More movies based on Ludlum novels <_<.

    A Sabriel movie would be pretty epic.

    I would have said a George W. Bush bio-flick, but W looks fucking epic.

    John Milton's Paradise Lost - especially if it's done right.

    Could be epic, especially because Lucifer is the protagonist.

    I'll have to go with Pendragon as well, now that's two of the original three, where is our third Pendragon thread poster at anyway?

    Dresden definitely.

    Bioshock and Gears of War would be cool.

    What about System Shock? That would be freaking awesome.

    when he shows up we can go and get those frosty chocolate milkshakes...

    I don't think a halo movie would work unless they actually make it about Master chief. I remember they were talking about an infintry unit before for a halo movie. It wouldn't be halo without Cortana and the chief.

    What I really want is a true stargate movie. Redo the entire first one and bring the quality up.

    Or even Deep water black... I think that would make a good 2 hour movie, up until they find earth.

    They are doing a Justice League movie, apparently Warner Brothers saw what Marvel is doing and liked the idea so they are going to make single movies for all the DC heroes they own and then combine them into a Justice League movie. Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Arrow are being made and Superman is being redone. Also they are making a fourth Bourne movie.

    As for movies I'd like to see made, I want to see a Mass Effect movie.

    Also, Assassins Creed would be cool if done right.
