What are some great sci-fi novels that would make great movies?

BOok of the New Sun
Nueromancer

Bullshit, the best SF is in short stories.

I'd like to see a film of Four-in-One.

>>83348863
Time dilation would be too confusing for general audiences. Also, it would get blasted for being SJW schlock due to everyone being gay at one point in the story.

>>83348863
whats it about?

Would Ringworld be workable as a movie after Halo popularized the idea?

>>83349105
It's a criticism of the Vietnam War using time dilation and aliens as metaphors.

Why do men never get tired of reading/watching war? ugh

War Dogs by Greg Bear was aight.

The Passage trilogy is super depressing but would make some good post apocalyptic horror.

It would also get blasted by SJW's for having the main character get hella weirded out by all the faggotry, and his eventual pairing up with his female waifu to make strong undegenerate normal babies, not to mention how its all about the disconnect Vietnam vets felt between the society they left and the society that they came back to.

The Last Angel (if only for the dreadnought on dreadnought space porn)
Blindsight
Dead Space

Do you think it is possible to make a faithful adaptation of Starship Troopers in this day and age?

>>83349112
It's unstable
Wouldn't mind a Ringworld Engineers movie, though. Don't care about Halo (I like the games and have run Halo servers, just don't think it matters)

>>83349463
No, if they couldn't do it twenty years ago they certainly can't now

>>83349463
It would be like, fascist and stuff dude.

>>83348863
I thought Forever Peace was better tbhfamalam

Marooned in Realtime would be pretty sweet.

>>83349463
Faithful in presentation or faithful in spirit? Yes to the former, no to the latter. The latter would be impossible without pointing out the parallels between regressive leftism and fascism, and there's no way Hollywood would let someone do that.

Has anyone literally ever thought this ever?

Del Toro's script for "At The Mountains of Madness" was fucking ABHORRENT.

There's always one

Lovecraft isn't sci-fi

>>83350139
I quit this series due to the communist propaganda.

>>83348863
Old Man's War
>>83349105
Time Dilation

>>83350534
debatable but honestly you're probably right.

I'd say many of Iain M. Banks books. They are character centric, have beautiful vistas and the culture is great as "the man". Not all of them though would be filmable.

>>83348863
It's incredible how many of the all-time biggest science-fiction stories were never made into movies despite their success and relatively simple subject matter. 'The Foundation' seems like the most obvious one. In a post Star Wars world the effects wouldn't have been anything remarkable and there's nothing overly cerebral about the concept. The idea of a story told in parts separated by huge spaces of time might put some people off but the success of interesting but not that remarkable stuff like 'Ex Machina' I think can be taken as a sure sign that audiences are looking for smarter movies now.

>>83348949
Book of the New Sun is full of things which would be pretty much impossible to represent well on screen, is enormously long with almost nothing that you could cut which wouldn't hurt the richness of the story and its telling as a first person narrative is so central to everything that it is that I'd actually go as far as to say that this is the single sci-fi novel which would work worst as a movie. And Neuromancer is unreadable garbage.

>>83349463
Yes. Plebs think it's fascist but it's actually a personal story about the power of rugged individualism. Focus almost purely on Rico overcoming obstacles one at a time and becoming a successful leader through hard work and dedication and you have a story that anybody can get behind.

>>83350153
De Palma supposedly wanted to get 'The Demolished Man' made for a long time. This would also work well.

>>83348863
I love Stalker, but an authentic Roadside Picnic adaptation could be pretty good if it was handled right.

Not exactly a novel but Worm would be great

>>83350974
>And Neuromancer is unreadable garbage.
Found the brainlet.

>>83353496
The only good piece of cyberpunk literature is Stand on Zanzibar. Literally the only one.

The Foundation series could be a cool show

>>83348863

Hyperion is an easy one.

Short stories make the best movies.

>It's a criticism of the Vietnam War using time dilation and aliens as metaphors.

It is more about homecoming and alienation returning veterans felt with society, not the war itself.

>>83350898
The Wasp Factory would make a good drama. A la shutter island.

>>83354296
It's absolutely about the war itself.

The soldiers are convinced their exploring ship was killed by aliens they don't know. The same shitty story the government made up about Vietnam.

The whole story is how we were "over powered" for the war, and how the enemy changed their strategy to combat ours. Then it reaches a point of "Really, who fucking cares?" but the soldiers are already far too invested.

It has many levels of knowing when a war is costing too much, both at home and with the soldiers themselves. It's a great book from a disturbing time in US history.

>>83348863
I know Hyperionnis being made into a tv series. Could be a decent mini series on HBO if done right.
Neuromancer will probably be made finally since Blade Runner 2049 will popularize cyberpunk.
And I want to see a take on Legends of Galatic Heroes. Or at least a rip off of it. Such a great series.

I know its classified as a teen novel, but House of the Scorpion could be cool if they made it a bit more mature.

>>83348863
The Chinese are making a movie out of The Three Body Problem but I imagine they will fuck it up. It's a shame because its probably one of the best sci fi trilogies ever written.

>>83356595
>Blade Runner 2049 will popularize cyberpunk
Not when even the original Blade Runner and the Matrix trilogy failed. And now the window of opportunity for cyberpunk has closed. People are bored with it because it's too much like real life.
