Top 5 Books I Want to See Filmed

1. Catcher in the Rye

Seems like a simple story to adapt, but Salinger has a real Alan Moore syndrome where he won't give up the rights to Hollywood. And seeing some of the crap they make I don't blame him.















2. I Am Legend

The Will Smith version made some changes for obvious reasons and many I didn't mind, but they complete lost sight of what the title is actually referring too.















3. Good Omens

Gilliam already wants to do this and has Robin Williams and Johnny Depp committed on good faith. How is this having trouble getting made?













4. The Dark Tower series

Awesome, awesome series that takes classic Western iconography and superimposes it over a thrilling and parallel world hopping fantasy epic.














5. Dirk Gently series

The other series by Adams, which is about a quirky British detective of the unusual. Aren't quirky British guys kind of in right now?
