From cliché rom-coms to predictable action flicks, does it ever feel like there's just no new tales out there for Hollywood to tell? It's definitely difficult for a screenwriter to come up with an entirely original plot ideas that will be a hit with audiences.

That's why for decades one of the biggest sources of blockbuster inspiration has been the library! Classic series such as "The Lord of the Rings" and "A Song of Ice and Fire" have gained millions of new fans and readers thanks to their enormously successful adaptations. And luckily, there doesn't seem to be any shortage of material to draw from. In 2018, bookworms can look forward to the release of a ton of high profile TV and film adaptations of their favorite books from some of the literary world's biggest names, including new projects from Stephen King and J.K. Rowling!

While it's true that far too often hardcore fans often wind up disappointed in films for leaving out their favorite scenes or changing key features of certain main characters (ahem...Lily Potter's green eyes), they are still usually the first in line at theaters in order to see just how Hollywood will bring their beloved books to the big screen.

Even though no adaptation can 100% replicate the experience of reading, it's still amazing to watch a talented talented actor bring a fictional character to life with their performance or see how different directors translate the descriptions on the page into towering sets and gorgeous landscapes.

From sci-fi adventure flicks to biblical parodies and childhood classics, here are some of the most buzz-worthy book-to-screen adaptations currently in the works:

1. "The Corman Strike Novels" by J.K. Rowling

The first installment of the three-part miniseries based on J.K. Rowling's bestselling Corman Strike detective novels recently premiered on BBC One on August 27, 2017. The "Strike" novels, which Rowling originally published under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith, follow the adventures of private investigator Corman Strike as he investigates the mysterious circumstances surrounding a London supermodel's alleged suicide. The rights to the first three books were sold last year to HBO with Rowling herself signed on as the show's executive producer. The pilot episode of "Strike," based on the first novel in the series, "The Cuckoo's Calling," is set to air in the U.S. later this Fall.

2. "Sweetbitter" by Stephanie Danler

Imagine a cross between the millennial wit of Lena Dunham's "Girls" and quirky foodie adventures of "Julie & Julia" and you've basically got "Sweetbitter." The best-selling novel by Stephanie Danler hilariously chronicles Tess, a 22-year-old waitress in a swanky New York restaurant who has to learn to navigate a new hectic career, fast-paced party lifestyle, and a few illicit romances. Danler's book, which earned rave reviews from the "Hollywood Reporter" when it was first published in 2016, is currently being turned into a TV drama series by Starz this Fall with Brad Pitt signed on as one of the show's lead producers!

3. "Good Omens" by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett

On August 14th, Amazon revealed that Michael Sheen and David Tennant were cast in the lead roles of an upcoming 2018 miniseries of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's 1990 mythological parody, "Good Omens," a hilarious novel chronicling the unlikely partnership of an Angel and Demon who must team-up to prevent the apocalypse after they accidentally misplace the Anti-Christ...

Sheen and Tennant will be playing the parts of the fussy bookstore owning angel Aziraphale and the wise-cracking, Bentley-driving demon Crowley, respectively. Gaiman himself penned all six episodes in the series and will also serve as show runner in order to keep the tone of the show as true to the original story as possible.

4. "Castle Rock" by Stephen King

It has certainly been a good year for Stephen King fans! From the success of "The Dark Tower" film released earlier this summer to the upcoming "It" reboot, King has a ton of creepy projects in the works. One of the most exciting Stephen King creations getting the TV treatment is "Castle Rock," a series named for the fictional Maine town where King set many of his most well-known works, including "Pet Cemetery," "It" and "Under the Dome."

"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" director and producer behind tons of successful television dramas like "Lost" and "Alias" J.J. Abrams pitched the idea of a mystery/horror-based TV show featuring elements from multiple King stories, and the first season of "Castle Rock" is set to be released on Hulu in February 2017.

5. "The Underground Railroad" by Colson Whitehead

After captivating the world last year and winning the Academy Award for Best Picture for his work on "Moonlight," a breathtaking film story chronicling a love story of two black men, director Barry Jenkins is the perfect choice to adapt of Colson Whitehead's "The Underground Railroad." The novel, which was honored with the Pulitizer Prize for Fiction in 2017, thoughtfully examines America's racial history through the eyes of a young woman named Cora, as she journeys across the country to escape from slavery. Filming for a one hour Amazon series based on "The Undergound Railroad" is currently underway with Jenkins taking on the dual roles of director and show writer. According to Variety the series should be available to stream early in 2018.

6. "Ready Player One" by Ernest Kline

Ernest Kline's 2011 sci-fi adventure novel "Ready Player One" tells the story of a young orphan living in the dystopian of 2044 who enters a virtual reality treasure hunt where he must use his pop culture knowledge to find hidden 'Easter Eggs' to earn a fortune that will save his family's lives. (It's sort of like "Pixels" if "Pixels" wasn't completely terrible). The book instantly earned cult-classic status for it's unabashed tributes to nerd culture and nostalgic 80s video games and even got an audiobook adaptation by Star Trek alum Will Wheaton. So who better to invoke this same tone of pop culture nostalgia than the director behind iconic works like E.T. and Jaws?

Steven Spielberg and Warner Brothers purchased the film rights to "Ready Player One" last year, and the completed film is set to hit theaters on March 30, 2018.

7. "A Wrinkle in Time" by Madeline L'Engle

Madeleine L’Engle‘s 1962 novel, "A Wrinkle In Time," has captivated both children and adults for decades and is now getting the full Hollywood fairytale treatment by Disney this Spring!

The book follows three children as they adventure through time and visit strange new world's in order to rescue their missing scientist father. "A Wrinkle in Time" features both a $100 million dollar budget and an A-List cast, including Chris Pine as the missing scientist and Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kailing, and Oprah Winfrey as the trio of eccentric witches: Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which.

The trailer for a "Wrinkle in Time" premiered earlier this summer and the movie will hit theatres March 9, 2018.

So with all these upcoming projects in the works, which books are you most excited to see finally receive the big-screen treatment?
