5 Book Series That Need To Become Movies Or TV Shows

Five of some of my favorite book series that I have been waiting to see adapted for the big screen or television.

Warren County Memorial LIbrary

1. The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan (and Brandon Sanderson)

This will always be the book series that I want to make it onto a screen somehow. One of the reasons this series hasn't been turned into a movie is because these books have so much information. There would be no way to make the fans happy because of how much is packed into each book. The way to solve this problem however was shown to us by another great series of books. The Wheel of Time could very easily be turned into a television series much like Game of Thrones has been. As an added bonus, this fourteen book series has already been completed, there would be no worries about the television series catching up to the books too soon. Someone needs to make this one happen for me.

2. The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini

I, like most other people on this planet, try to forget that Eragon, the first book in this series, was already turned into a movie. I think that we need to give these books a second chance at the big screen. Maybe if they actually follow some of the major plot points in the book this time around we may actually see a movie that is enjoyable. Seriously though, these were some great books to read and I was so excited to learn that Eragon was being turned into a movie all those years ago. After they botched that movie, I was still into the book series and I doubt rebooting this could be any harder than rebooting Spiderman again.

3. The Ranger's Apprentice by John Flanagan

I remember hearing some rumors a few months ago that this series may be adapted into a movie soon enough. I absolutely loved these books about seven years ago, and they had a solid story line that I felt could be easily adapted to a movie. I know that if this ever did become a movie I would definitely not be the targeted audience, though it would still make me very happy to see a book series that I thoroughly enjoyed being adapted to a movie. I would probably still go to see this movie because I have a bit of nostalgia for the series.

4. Lorien Legacies by Pittacus Lore

This is yet another series that has already flopped on the big screen. For those of you who don't remember the first book in this series was I Am Number 4. I don't want to see this head back to the big screen though. This is another series that I would like to see adapted for television. Part of my reasoning for this is because there are just too many characters to follow for a movie. Another reason is because I can see them doing an excellent job with this series on a network like the CW that has already shown that it can do a spectacular job with super powers and SciFi. This is also a completed series as of a couple months ago so it would be easy to plan where this series would go.

5. The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson

I have talked about this book series before and how it is possibly my new favorite series of books. So because of that I had to put it on this list, even though it only has two books completed out of the ten planned. This series, much like The Wheel of Time, would make an excellent replacement for Game of Thrones once they have their final season. I would hope that if this ever happened, which is really not likely, it would also encourage Brandon Sanderson to write focus on writing this series. This series would bring an interesting twist on magic powers to television and still keep the sword fighting and wars that everyone loves in Game of Thrones.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
