ITT: Works you think would be unfilmable
>>214956266Nothing is unfilmable, it's just that making movies is expensive.

30 Coins already did nyartholep and it was cool That show is fucking wild especially s2
>>214956266>>214956372IHNM is definitely adaptable
>>214956266
Starring Idris Elba as "The Turd Eater"
>>214956266Perelandra and That Hidious Strength.
>>214956378How blasphemous is it?
>>214956266This adaptation wasn’t bad, but it’s like cutting down the Lord of the Rings into a single two hour movie. You have to dump half the characters and about 80 percent of plot. Also LA Confidential the book was so noir it basically dips into gothic horror in places, and the film doesn’t capture that very well.
>>214956378Tell us more, anon. Never even heard about it. Seems cool.
>>214956345This kills god
>>214956460You mean kumail nanjiani surely
>>214956266Everything is filmable if you have a good director, writing and enough money. See pic rel, for some people even mogs the book
>>214956995For someone that hasn't read the book I liked that movie.
>>214956383I don't know if you could do it for a full movie
>>214956460Gaspar Noé should adapt this
>>214957421As in the story would have to be stretched a bit?
>>214956477Okay, I'll check it out>>214956995Gothic-horror noir sounds fun
>>214957340It is genuinely a great movie, and it does as good a job with the source material as any adaption could have hoped to. But the novel is 500 pages long, and with Ellroy’s clipped writing style that’s equivalent to like 1500 pages of anyone else’s writing. Also the book is the third volume in a four part trilogy so a lot of the characters and plot lines had already been started in earlier books. Frankly it’s a miracle the movie wasn’t a complete garbage fire.
>>214956991It just leans HARD into gnostic mythos>>214957110I already have said too much but that whole show is so fucking kino I wish I could watch it again for the first time
Stoner. It would be impossible to capture the tone of the book without some cheesy voiceover that would ruin it, or adding drama that isn’t there to heighten the stakes (and by doing so, miss the point of the novel).
Gormenghast trilogy would be pure kino. I wish Kubrick was alive to direct it. A fire upon the deep would be sick, too. And Imajica and Weaveworld by Barker.
>>214958837But no blaspheming Saints and such?
>>214956266No meme answers, who would play AM or Judge Holden?
>>214956345isnt that just inland empire?
>>214959346Unironically Brendan Fraser since he’s been to Hell and back.
>>214959346He is too white rapist cowboy to be played by any living human being. Literally, unfilmable.
>>214959396beat me to it. Punished Brendan, easily
>>214959549Fuck off.
>>214959346For AM, it needs to be someone with a Deep voice meshed with a fat woman’s voice. Idris Elba + Meghan trainer laughing.
>>214956995You know, I think that is a perfect movie. Yet it isn't one of my favourites. You've sold me on reading it.
>>214959346I still think the only actor who could have done a good job as the Judge would have been John Goodman in the early 2000s.
>>214959650Not nearly tall enough. He needs to be 6’4 at least.
>>214956266What books are bottom left and top right from?
>>214959608wolfe'd
What is the top right, the hybrid theory album cover?
>>214959685Top right: All Tomorrows. Speculative fiction.Dunno about bottom left.
Codex Seriphianus: The Movie: The Game
Are those weird fiction books in the /lit/ recommended any good? I tried Lovecraft and found him awful to read.
>>214959549Honestly with the state of things I wouldn't want them to even try. It could have been epic kino 20-30 years ago, but now it would just be a bunch of brown people and homosexuals. They'd probably make Severian troon out after he absorbed Thecla's soul.
>>214959685>bottom leftNyarlathotep
>>214956266Only recognize Blood Meridian- what are the other three?
>>214959852I Have No Mouth, and I Must ScreamAll TomorrowsNyarlathotep
Weaveworld would be awesome, especially if they used practical effects when possible. Get John Williams to score it.
How about books we want to be made into series?>>214959784I agree but there are scenes when he literally manifests her and would be talking and acting like a woman. Current state of 4chan would spam that as tranny propaganda
Anime adaptation, if necessary.
>>214956266>The judge>What if we got and completely shaved a pale 7 foot fat fuck >and made him go into superfluous monologues >and filmed edgy gore shit for a western >It would be like literally impossible to film dude
>>214960055What’s this about? Genre?
>>214957319They made a movie about this book? Crazy, that shit its as close to a schizo trip you can get
>>214960212>The Worm Ouroboros is a heroic high fantasy novel by English writer E. R. Eddison, first published in 1922. The book describes the protracted war between the domineering King Gorice of Witchland and the Lords of Demonland in an imaginary world that appears mainly medieval and partly reminiscent of Norse sagas.
What the fuck is this?!
>>214956794It could be done, it just needs to be an HBO series. An hour-long episode for each tale.
>>214957319>>214960355It's not even a "true" adaptation. It's more about Bill Lee writing the book, but it does take a lot of scenes and quotes from the book
>>214960375When you say demons, do you mean red horned imps? Mischievous little bastards? Or weird animal mashups?

>>214959923Weaveworld is just hellraiser, but with happy sunshine world, evil world, gay world, art world all mixed together.should be completely reasonable to film.
>>214960654Thinking this. It would be beyond NC-17. Literally child pornography. It's a bad book, by the way, and I just don't mean depraved. It's trying hard to shock you and gets repetitive and boring. Yeah, everyone is a pedophile and Hogg likes to poop in his pants and gets paid to rape, but what's going on. It's like, what's going on after the shock value wears off? It's just obnoxious.
>>214958926>trilogyYou do not just pretend the 3rd does not exist like I do? The author literally wrote it while under the delirium of the brain disease that ultimately killed him. It’s trashAnyways, it’s super adaptable. Hell the BBC already did, and it was great
>>214960759that might be the point, First time i read through blood meridian the violence gets boring, , ride to town get drunk violence ride off, repeat,once you're at that level there's no joy, just compulsion and stupidity,
>>214956266actual objectively correct answer
>>214960733Sneed *farts* film that, tough guy
NorstriliaHouse of Leaves
Why hasn’t Hollywood tried adapting these moves and doing them well? Don’t they know they could make tons of money?
>>214959784That would be entirely textual
>>214961088>House of Leavesthe documentary-within-a-book a.k.a. The Navidson Record is fairly straightforward story. The pitch black freezing cold maze and its mind games would be challenging to convey, sure.That's why you get a talented minotaur like Jason Minoa for the role
>>214959983I need this as a series.
Not unfilmable but Redwall and Frog and Toad would be KINO children’s books to adapt to a film or animated show
Later homo
>>214956266Villeneuve doesn't have the balls to even attempt it.
>>214961343You’re a literate guy...
>>214957319That is not an adaptation of the novel, retard.
>>214959780Stick to capeshit.
>>214962274I don’t think he likes any of the novels after Messiah.
>>214956266>dude a pale bald guy knows literally everything and he is skilled in everything, he is unbeatable and made of pure muscle and he is 8 feet tall and he controls everything dude>and he is like cruel and evil for the sake of being cruel and he kills poor heckin' minorities and murders them and there is nothing you can do because he is all powerful>and it's like a heckin' metaphor for how evil whites attacked poor innocent nativesreddit: the book
>>214956266Judge Holden does NOT look like that!!!
>>214960448It's All Tomorrows. It chronicles how humanity is conquered by an ayyas that change organisms genetically to survive on different planets. Humans are twisted into strange creatures to be placed on various worlds. It's pretty gross.
