Ummm, can I do a full ideal cast list for each of these movies? Just kidding, but seriously, that should be a top ten tuesday option.
1 The Night Circus, by Erin Morgenstern. I'd really like Carey Mulligan to play Celia and Jospeh Gordon Levitt to play Marco.2.The Magicians, by Lev Grossman. Jesse Eisenberg would be a superb Quentin, nerdy yet a little bit mean. and Rooney mara as Alice.
3. The Snow Child, by Eowen Ivy with Mia Wasikowska as the Snow Child. Best Russian folktale ever.
4.The Thirteenth Tale, by Diane Setterfield. Can Carey Mulligan just play all the female leads over 25?5.The Girl with Glass Feet by Ali Shaw. I could see this as a bbc mini series complete in a season. I trust the BBC to make the casting calls.
6. The Scorpio Races, by Maggie Stiefvater. This is such an awesome story I don't see how it could avoid being destroyed. I'd really like Josh Hutcherson to play Sean and Lily Collins as the female lead.7. Shadows on the Moon, by Zoe Marrio. I just finished this one and OH MY GOSH. I'd really like Curtis from Misfits to play the male romantic lead. The scarification/tatoos would look really sweet.
8. Sharp objects, by Gillian Flynn. This would make a creeptastic and gothic movie. Make it happen Hollywood. I'd like Chloe Mortez to be the creepy younger sister and Jennifer Lawrence to be our main character9.Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card.
My dream came TRUE! Well, maybe, I guess we'll see soon enough. I have a feeling the movie adaptation will be warped into a children's story.
10. The Brides of Rollrock Island, by Margo Lanagan. It may be the only Lanagan book I've liked, but I love it with the passion of a thousand suns. I think the atmosphere would make for an awesome drama/horror combo.

Brides of Rollrock Island would be interesting as a movie. It would be kind of odd to see it translated to the big screen! :) Scorpio Races has been on a couple of lists, it would be a good movie - if it had a big enough budget. Thanks for visiting my TTT!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see The Thirteenth Tale as a movie! Night Circus and the Magicians are at the top of my TBR -- I really should read them soon!
