I mentioned Daemon and Freedom^TM^ by Daniel Suarez in another thread recently. I've often thought they'd make good Techno Thrillers. They got optioned once but I think it expired.
I think part of the problem is that the second book is a conclusion to the first. One falls flat without the other. So I think they'd be best suited to a single mini-series of 6 or 8 hour long episodes. And studios want franchises.
His more recent series starting with Delta V would be excellent too. Even Kill Decision would make a great techno-thriller series.
*Not until the books, plural, and the She-Wolves of Winterfell are published. Please grrm.
ha, well, wild cards is kinda ancient and has enough volumes out to not require him in really any capacity
There already has been a movie (L.A. Confidential), which is one of my favourite movies of all time. But to get it on the screen required a lot of rewriting to fit a complex weave of plots that intersect and takes 10 years to resolve. It was brilliantly done for what it was, but it left a LOT on the floor.
I would love love love to see an HBO or similar series that is as true to the novel by James Ellroy as it could possibly be.
Zero. It totally destroys everything about a book. I have found though that horrible series can make good TV. Like Twilight or Dexter or Harry Potter. Horribly written trash but popular with those in the center of the bell curve.
The Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee.
The Temeraire series by Naomi Novik.
Magic Kingdom of Landover
Children of time, but as a scifi miniseries.
The Girl from Earths End By Tara Dairman
It's like Harry Potter if you replace magic with botany, and JK Rowling's shittiest values with the opposite of that.
Also fair warning it will make you cry
I would love a faithful adaptation of Worm, but I don't think it could ever do the series justice.
There's a book called Robopocalypse where an AI gains sentience and then takes control of basically all robotics/anything connected to the internet to take over the world and I'd love to see that as a mini series.
Michael Morecocks Eternal Champion saga. Great candidate for a Netflix animation
