Top 10 Tuesday is hosted at The Broke and the Bookish. Today’s topic is the Top Ten Books I'd Like To See Made Into A Movie.
The Giver by Lois Lowry
This was one of my favorite books when it came out and it is still a favorite among students. This could definitely be an artistic movie that reflects current feelings/fears about the future and how we should all learn from the past.

Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson
This is one of my favorite historical fiction novels and I think it would make for a really awesome movie.

Amandla Stenberg as Isabel?
The Warrior Cats books by Erin Hunter
This movie would need to be made with real cats (no animation!). Really I just want to see fluffy house-cats in battle armor fighting. Actually, I probably wouldn’t go see the movie, but the movie trailers would be pretty funny.

Hahaha!
Divergent by Veronica Roth
I would just love to see the set for where the Dauntless live.

The Iron Fey books by Julie Kagawa
I enjoyed the imaginative characters, scenes, and storylines. Of course, two cute actors playing out the love-hate relationship between Puck and Ash would be awesome to watch on the big screen.

I still like Puck best
Looking for Alaska by John Green
You know that last prank? Yeah, I want to see that acted out.

The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
I think Tim Burton would be a great person to direct The Graveyard Book. It could be claymation or animation, but I think the movie could be a delightfully creepy retelling of this awesome book.

Creepy-awesome
Dead End in Norvelt by Jack Gantos
This is just a silly book with eccentric characters so it could definitely be a fun movie. I think I imagine this as being like Sandlot or Now and Then.

Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly
This book captivated me from the start and I’m not quite sure why. Maybe it was the wealthy vs. poor story. Or the mystery. Or the self-discovery. Or the history. Or the love. Or the heartbreak. Or the catacombs under Paris. Whatever it was, I think Revolution could be a great movie because it mixes so many elements that appeal to readers (and movie-goers).

Maximum Ride by James Patterson
This is such a popular book (and series) that an on-screen adaptation seems like the logical next step.

Tempest by Julie Cross
Tempest by Julie Cross
Julie Cross is a local author with an awesome book and she was a speaker at this year’s Urbana School District Young Authors Celebration (more on that at a later date!). Julie inspiring to students who love to write and gave the kids some great tips. The movie rights to Tempest have actually been bought and the studio has over a year to decide if they actually will make this book into a movie. I think it would be really cool if a hometown lady got her book made into a popular teen movie.
Divergent we have in common :-) I agree The Graveyard Book animated would work well! Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeletehahaha, I'd like to see the big prank in Looking for Alaska in a movie, too. That would be such a sad/funny movie (like the book), I bet I'd love it!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THE HUNGER GAMES, I WOULD LIKE TO MARRY ALL THE CHARACTERS IN IT SOOOOO DON'T MAKE FUN OF IT..... OR RUE. HHG
