Ender's Game
I know its already in the works, but I have a feeling its going to blow hard, and purists like myself are going to be irate. So I'm preempting that shit.
I, Robot
I dunno wtf that Will Smith crap was.
The Scarlet Letter
I don't care how much of a classic it is...its a terrible effing book, so its pretty bad news when Demi Moore can actually make it worse.
Flowers for Algernon
There still isn't a proper adaptation of this fantastic story. Its a seriously challenging role, but the right actor who can pull off that kind of transformation...would be epic.
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
I don't think this has been attempted yet...but it should be.
2001: A Space Odyssey
(Just kidding. Kubrick's take is a f*cking cinematic treasure and should not be touched)
Lord of the Flies
Neither adaptation is acceptable.
Starship Troopers
Needs to be seriously made instead of satired. The 90's movie is fun though.
Beowulf
A story that oozes Norse testosterone like this should be done right.
The Three Musketeers
Cut Chris O'Donnel's head off and try again. Although, that movie was the first time that Gabrielle Anwar gave me a blue veined diamond cutter. So points for that.
