Books I Want to be Movies!

[@tubaforeva]

Night Circus would be epic as a film! Even as a TV show they could really do a lot with it.

[@quintvictrum4163]

+tubaforeva I think it would be awesome as one of those mini-series like Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell

[@BeatriceMPinayBookaholic]

+tubaforeva YES TO THIS. I would love to see this as a film in 3D. :D

[@miacastellano2913]

+tubaforeva It would be an incredible mini series!

[@hibahali877]

OH MY GOD YES

[@lisafay1171]

totally agree, I just wanted to comment that hahaha. it's one of my favorite books and it would make an amazing movie (if done right).

[@MrKJ444]

Ready Player One is being made by Speilberg actaully (so you know it's going to be good.) Should be out either next year or year after

[@quinnshipton]

+MrKJ444 I looked into it a few months ago, so far it's been given a release date of 17th December 2017! :D

[@Mrstwiligtloverlovet]

They also started casting recently

[@---ut6fk]

Movies: The Lunar Chronicles, The Song of Achilles, Aristotle and Dante, Daughter of Smoke and Bone TV: The Raven Cycle All done correctly, of course. They would be FANTASTIC.

[@kylaxo12345]

+casey s the song of achilles has been picked up for a mini series for the bbc by the same people that make peaky blinders

[@---ut6fk]

Kylas Reads Yeah....... but I think it would be a better movie. Just in my opinion. I'm still excited for it, though!

[@SnorriSnibble]

+Miss Cult same. I love the raven cycle so much, nobody should even dare trying to make a movie out of it. Even if they would make it good, it could never be right. This series don't need any adaptation.

[@---ut6fk]

***** it doesn't need an adaption, you're right.... but it would be so much fun if it was adapted, even a bad one lol

[@mvp_1206]

Throne of Glass series, as long as they do it right!

[@sberry6868]

Maybe a TV series so they could get as much of the story into film

[@mvp_1206]

really??? when???

[@ReniLove38]

Exactly what I was thinking!

[@laurenmcglaughlin4108]

+Megan Perney So far it's only been optioned to be a film :)

[@breanne1804]

+Megan Perney Throne of Glass has been optioned for TV and A Court of Thorns and Roses has been optioned for film!

[@ThePerksOfBooks]

This reminded me that my favorite book called Meg by Steve Alten is finally being made into a movie and i'm so excited :D

[@anirenart8422]

Ever since I was younger when the Uglies series came out, I've wanted it to be a movie. Seriously, by how popular it is I'm surprised it isn't one yet.

[@yasminkhater5646]

OMG the queen of the tearling yes please I love those books so much I think this is my ultimate fav series 😍😍

[@Roxywilde82]

1. The Red Queen 2. A Court of Thorn and Roses 3. A darker Shade of Magic 4. Vicious 5. The Art of Racing in The Rain

[@from26thefloor]

The Raven Boys will be a great TV Show

[@jhudeferrer4023]

The School for Good and Evil by Soman Chainani.. PLS! when ist happening? I keep hearing that it's already on a progress project to Universal pictures but theres literally no progress..

[@melanie1125]

I would love to see Angelfall made into a movie

[@jackielopez9739]

THE LUNAR CHRONICLES

[@Callmekatielee]

YES. I can just see it... so epic...

[@jackielopez9739]

+Katie'sBookCorner RIGHT! I have been waiting for so long for them to become movies!!

[@backthen4449]

YES YESHP YES THATS MY BABY

[@fiza7418]

I feel like they might not be able to fulfill the stories as far as effects or sci-fi scripting and would ruin the books for me.

[@jackielopez9739]

+Fiza Kuzhiyil I think we all fear that but sometimes they do a good job with book to movie adaptations

[@COOLKIDALEX1]

The Mara Dyer series!!! I'm not sure how good it would be but i love that series and i'd love to see it on screens!

[@ConnorOBrien]

Good call on Steelheart! It would be fantastic as a TV show or movie. I can't wait for calamity to come out next year, so we can find out how it ends. I think the Unwind Dystology would actually make a really good movie series that would most likely be really successful.

[@hillaryanderson8349]

So excited for Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children to be a movie and by my favorite director, Tim Burton!!! Also, I LOVE your lipstick! what is it?

[@aBriiL97]

I think it's actually Steven Spielberg who's directing Ready Player One. Now that you mentioned it, I can't stop picturing Hayao Miyazaki's take on Uprooted, it would be great! Also, we need to have good Percy Jackson movies or TV show, or something!

[@veroQUINN]

I NEED A RAVEN CYCLE MOVIE/TV SHOW ASAAAAAPPP

[@arantxagarcia6300]

+Vero Quintero COMPLETELY AGREE. I love those books so much but it's true that they would be better as a TV show becasue they're just so complex, films really wouldn't make them any justice. At the same time I would be scare if they changed the story in the show, because they're just as perfect as they are, with the same dialogues and actions and EVERYTHING AND RONAN

[@mynameistye1]

I really want the darkest minds to be a TV show. Like on hbo or netflix.

[@ilsenleon2378]

mynameistye1 Well this is old but it’s becoming a movie so I can’t wait!

[@maureenkeavy]

I think Stephen Spielberg is set to direct RPO but maybe not?? Queen of the Tearling would be so interesting!! I need to read uprooted.

[@leakenny1125]

I LOVE UPROOTED. AGNIESKA + SARKAN ftw

[@katierosefun7722]

For me, I would love to see a The Darkest Minds TV show - or The Lunar Chronicles (though it's been slated as a movie, I think) - oh, and it would be SO GREAT to see All the Light We Cannot See as a movie. Or maybe one of Rainbow Rowell's books.

[@patricio7525]

I agree with you that Steelheart would be much better as a film or tv show, and i really want to see Assassin's Apprentice as a TV show PS: Have you ever seen Misfits? it's about a teenagers with superpowers

[@babygirldsi]

Fa girl by rainbow Rowell would be a good movie and so would Rick riordons the heroes of Olympus series.

[@jostewart3192]

jenny hoopla HoO should be a tv series though

[@EvelynePark]

I was nodding along furiously at every single one of your suggestions - and then actually squealed out loud at Uprooted! Just finished the audiobook and it's such perfect movie material. No idea who to cast at the Dragon, but I'd so watch that over and over again.

[@dalyaa5524]

I agree on The Queen of the Tearling!! I highly think if Ghibli Studio takes it...IT WOULD BE AMAZING. They would capture the books weirdness so well.

[@ari12853]

Vicious by V.E. Shwab would make such an awesome movie!

[@jeffronium]

to me, Vicious (v.e. schawb) reads as a series of episodes, one episode for each timeline jump. I'd love a t.v./Netflix series or a big screen adaptation.

[@fintanwatson8137]

His Dark Materials as a TV show! (I'm aware of the Golden Compass film)

[@starrh6593]

You should make a video about books you wish hadn't been made into movies.

[@TheShadoWings]

I heard a rumour that Throne of Glass is getting picked up as a TV series?? Not entirely sure.

[@sanjanachadive5080]

It has.

[@jennnieeeeee]

I really need to read The Queen of the Tearling!! Anything with the possibility of Emma Watson has me sold.

[@candice212]

Looking for Alaska. My favorite John Green novel, and the first one of his that I read

[@ConnorOBrien]

Good call on steelheart! It would be fantastic. I actually think the unwind dystology would translate well into movies and would probably do really well.

[@BeatriceMPinayBookaholic]

I would love to see Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi as a film.

[@jackielopez9739]

the legend series, the lux series, the Scorpio Races, and November 9

[@luciacanali9832]

I think the director for Ready Player One is Steven Spielberg ^^ and I red something about having a writter even :D

[@juanitabarriosalonegirl]

yeah ! i think the have picked the female principal character too

[@IghorWho]

Yeah! Release date is December 2017, and there's already a few cast members chosen. ITS HAPPENING PEOPLE GET READY FOR IT

[@banana3683]

Just about to say!

[@anayak.campbell7039]

I would LOVE Six of Crows, by Leigh BArdugo. With the correct casting and of course done perfectly, it could be fantastic.

[@Amanda-nq6mw]

They actually are in talks for Steelheart! (but I think Sanderson should be involved to make sure it's faithful) I'm really glad you mentioned that book :) with the mention of Ready Player One, there's an anime called Sword Art Online that has a very similar seeing to that book without the 80's references but still do good

[@MissSassyKassie]

READY PLAYER ONE YAASSSS that would (will?) be amazing!! i want to see We Were Liars by E Lockhart

[@jostewart3192]

MissSassyKassie I've never read We Were Liars but whenever booktubers talk about it I get an insane PLL feel from it. That would be cool.

[@StitchInTime]

The Violet Eden Chapters by Jessica Shirvington,The Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa,and the Sweet Evil Trilogy by Wendy Higgins.Everythng else is already in talks.

[@sandyreadsalot]

Steelheart would make an awesome movie! I picked up that book after hearing you talk about it and I loved it! I can't wait to see Ready Player One as a movie!

[@kianasmith8755]

Our town library had this event for a while where if you read a book on a selected shelf, and write a review when you are done, you get prizes. Anyways, i read this book called 'Earth Girl' and it sounds like something that you would really like. Just sayin.

[@theaudiobookaficionado]

(uhh youtube's comment section was being weird so sorry if I double posted this!) Anyway, I've been saying this a lot, but if Emma Watson plays Kelsea, I'm honestly going to be pretty upset because it will just erase the entire struggle Kelsea has over her body image. I'm really sick of how Hollywood needs to make every character excessively thin and attractive....that's not how Kelsea is portrayed in the book at all. Also I really don't see how the changes in appearance that Kelsea goes through in book two are going to translate in film??? I don't know. I have really mixed feelings about this movie series. And I actually think it would be better as a tv show because there's no way to fit everything that happens into a single film. There are so many side characters that pop up every now and then in the books that could totally be given full character arcs if it were turned into a tv show.

[@MariekevanMil]

About to read Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. If I like it (which, from what I heard, I do not doubt), I'll read The Reckoners as well. Great to see you're enthusiastic about Steelheart!

[@StarstruckFerSure]

I'm intrigued by Steelheart now, though we need more books told by the perspectives of villain/morally grey characters. :) Some I'd love to see on screen are Bird Box, Daughter of Smoke & Bone, The Girl With All the Gifts, Mistborn...I'd also love to see an anime of Saga and Chew.

[@airinokomis6013]

I entirely agree with ready player one being made into a stand alone film. I believe I heard rumours of Spielberg picking it up or being interested. I'd love to see how they work with the main characters story out of the virtual world. Also Ernest Cline's other novel Armada I believe has already been picked up by someone.

[@apartfromnothing55]

I have a feeling that the director of Tron: Legacy could direct Armada if he could

[@IghorWho]

Spielberg is directing it and it's already in production. Armada was picked up by a studio before it was even released (Cline was a screewriter before writing novels), but there's nothing to it yet

[@jocelynnrobison5348]

I NEED A SIX OF CROWS MOVIE ASAP

[@sanguyen1097]

i was looking for this comment. It's so obvious that this book would make a hella great of a movie! like come on!

[@jocelynnrobison5348]

Sa Nguyen TRUE

[@AtomicPeach]

Throne of Glass would be amazing if it was done correctly i feel like it would work for tv and movie

[@fknkrs9363]

definitely the night circus!!! I'd watch the movie over and over again!! 😭😭😍

[@DaniellaBooks]

Ready Player One is set to be directed by Steven Spielburg and Artemis has already been casted:) (it's that girl from Me and Earl) x

[@laurenschultz9139]

The biggest one for me right now is the Confessions series by James Patterson. I feel like it would make a really great TV show with all of the twists and turns in the plot

[@Callmekatielee]

My number one has always been (and probably will be for a very long time) "The Lunar Chronicles". It would make such an incredible movie series that I actually get genuinely mad that it hasn't happened already.

[@knockknockboo]

Dividers by Libba bray would make an amazing t.v series. It has enough suspense to keep audiences enthralled, and fun setting to get people interested!

[@isabelacavalcanti565]

Ready Player One will be actually direct by Steven Spielberg, he even said he won't mention him or his work on the movie because that would be too creepy or something. I think Ernest Cline is writing the screenplay and Olivia Cooke was casted to play Art3mis

[@SuzyS85]

Uprooted sounds amazing and possibly something Studio Ghibli would be fantastic at adapting... *puts on sky high tbr-pile*

[@GSwizzel]

Ready Player One has been picked up, but by Steven Spielberg (WHICH IS FREAKING AWESOME!) Olivia Cooke (Rachel from Me and Earl and The Dying Girl) has already been casted as Art3mis !!

[@nashdome]

Ready Player One has been picked up, it's gonna be directed by Steven Spielberg and has a release date for 2017. Your 5 picks in this video are pretty much perfect actually.

[@lilmatt025]

The top 5 books that I would love turned into movies or tv shows are Percy Jackson Greek mythology series (ABC Family/Netflix show), Eleanor & Park, The Adventures of Beekle, Dorothy Must Die, and Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe.

[@readsandeats2263]

A Court of Thorns and Roses I think would be good, A Discovery of Withes and the other two books in The All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness. Agree about Night Circus with tubaforeva.

[@kevinw45]

Spielberg is making a Ready Player one movie and it's suppose to come out in 2017.

[@braam126]

I know u didn't mention it and I don't know if you have read it but I know that read queen is being turned into a movie which is awesome and Victoria Aveyard is a professional screen play writer

[@ashtonlegris7177]

I've already read the Bronze Horseman (and LOVED IT) but put off reading Tatiana and Alexander because of a lack of time (and motivation if I'm being honest haha), but this video just makes me want to pick it up SO BADLY!!!

[@claris3056]

Totally agree about Uprooted. :) The Secret History by Donna Tart would make SUCH a good movie! Also Ancillary Justice by Anne Leckie would be an awesome sci-fi. And I'm at a loss as to why Good Omens hasn't been turned into a tv show or film yet!

[@UnicornHunterbooks]

Queen of the Tearling would be an awesome movie, I agree. That will be really interesting to see.

[@victoriatilley9758]

The Throne of Glass series has been optioned for a TV series!!!!

[@alanakoala]

Yes read Brooklyn! I had to read it for school and would love to know your opinion

[@BohoBookworm]

The one book I just finished that I would love to see as a film is The Ice Twins by S. K. Tremayne. It was FANTASTIC! My book review on it will be up next week Monday! :) The Queen of the Tearling sounds amazing! That's a movie I'd love to see but I want to read the book first!!

[@purplezay8783]

As a movie: The Trylle trilogy by Amanda Hocking LOVE THEMMM. As a TV series: The Beautiful Creatures collection by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl and also the Watersong series by Amanda Hocking.

[@natscorner9459]

How about the Uglies, Pretties, Specials, and Extras series? They are so awesome!

[@ashlymathis6138]

I read Uprooted because of one of your previous videos and LOVED IT. I would love to see it a movie adaptation of it! ^-^

[@frankbianca5037]

the name of the wind and the book Wool

[@ReniLove38]

Mistborn would make a great film! Everyone loves a good heist, plus the magic system is totally epic!

[@ritacarvalho8912]

I'd love to see Throne of Glass series as movies!!

[@athousandlives]

Ready Player One would be super cool to watch as a movie! I feel like since the whole world is so intriguing, it would be so interesting explore.

[@marchbros-bk9hp]

Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

[@maryloumoriarty4213]

Ready Player One is set for December 2017 with Steven Spielberg directing, Ernest Cline as screenwriter and Olivia Cooke confirmed for Art3mis

[@lea.rosalynd]

I read Cell by Stephen King a few years ago and I loved it and I always thought it would be a great movie, and it's actually being turned into a movie and I'm so excited!

[@caitlincarter3051]

No one ever seems to have heard of it, but I would kill to see Heir Apparent by Vivian Vande Velde turned into a movie.

[@emyg494]

Brooklyn the movie came out here in ireland this month and it was amazing! I thought it was even better than the book

[@hexwives]

ready player one is coming out in 2017 directed by steven spielberg and for now olivia cooke is set to start! :)

[@hexwives]

also it looks like Uprooted is becoming a movie and Ellen DeGeneres is going to be a producer! Exciting news.

[@unninoperdidoenunmundomugg3497]

I would love see the Insignia Trilogy by S.J. Kincaid as a new movies series, I only read the first book and it's amazing. Regan if you haven't read the trilogy I seriously recommend it to you :) It's just GREAT

[@Kakemonster1898]

Reagan, have you considered writing a screenplay? Seems like you have vision.

[@fragglestar2011]

Steven Spielberg is directing RPO it's due for release in 2017 I believe and Art3mis has been cast already so I e heard. I'd love to see all these books turned into movies especially steelheart

[@samuelmatheri3589]

I'm hopeful for a Malazan Book of the Fallen or Wheel of Time adaptation whether anime or movies.

[@lannapeanut]

In Paullina Simons most recent blog post from last month, she said that she's signed with Getaway Pictures for the movie adaptations of the series. Hopefully it'll be one of the ones that actually make it into production. She's also aware of--and seems to love--the Henry Cavill suggestion and since she'll be working with the people making the movie, I'm hesitantly holding out hope that he might be considered (assuming he would want the part). =P A lot of the books I'd love as movies/TV shows are already in the works/have the movie rights sold. I'd love a mini-series adaptation of The Lumatere Chronicles by Melina Marchetta though. And a movie adaptation of The Strange & Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender (if they could give it a Practical Magic kind of feel).

[@ryanthebookworm4011]

Steven Spielberg is going to be directing the Ready Player One movie and I'm pretty sure it's official and it said it was going to come out in 2017 with Olivja Cooke as Art3mis

[@aflowerthatcannotbebloomed]

i think uprooted may be better as a tv show and I'm really curious about the ready player one movie don't how that's going to work out

[@lauracavalcanti9822]

I really want Angelfall to be turned into a movie. It's one of my favorite series, and the main character it's such a badass.

[@vanshikhavij]

GREAT VIDEO! I WANNA READ ALL OF THESE!! I HAVENT READ ANY OF THEM SO I CANT SAY I AGREE BUT BY YOUR DESCRIPTION AND BY THE REVIEWS I HAVE HEARD OF ITS PRETTY SAFE TO SAY THAT ALL OF THESE WOULD MAKE GREAT MOVIES! I ALSO THINK THAT THE WRATH AND THE DAWN BY RENEE AHEIDH WOULD MAKE A GREAT MOVIE!

[@r_27P]

"A darker shade of magic!!! a movie yes please! and I'm totally with you on "The Bronze horseman" movie wagon :)

[@hollywren786]

when do you and Sasha do the book club live show this month? I'm 150 pages away from the end of Carry On and I really want to finish it by the time the live show happens

[@natasama1069]

I would love to see "After Dark" by Haruki Murakami but animated, because I can't imagine it done by actors(I don't want to spoil, but great book!)

[@UndeadBex]

I'd LOVE for The Raven Cycle to be a netflix series or something. I really want the book Wool to be a movie (there were hints that it would be with Ridley Scott being a part of it, but idk if it's happening anymore /cries). And of course (as I keep wishing) I'd love for Night Film to be a film. So many things I'd love to seeeee.

[@1HalfbloodPrince]

LEGEND!! I'd love for Marie Lu's trilogy to be a movie/tv show

[@ManjarithePandicorn]

enjoyed this video. btw so happy that the shadowhunters series is going to be an abc family show. youre the reason i even read the series

[@leam6371]

Your hair looks really nice up

[@charityyoder9028]

I will sit through however long ready player one ends up being,

[@alice951996]

I would love to see a mini series of The Song of Achilles (which might actually happen!!!!)

[@BingeReader19]

I want to see a Splintered movie. I know there is Tim Burton's Alice movies....but there isn't a Morpheus and that is what I want!!!

[@calliescourtofbooks3727]

the shadow and bone trilogy into a movie ( i think it got picked up by the director of harry potter) and the raven cycle for tv series!!
