What book that hasn't been adapted into a TV show or movie do you think deserves an adaptation? (lemmy.world)

Sanderson's Mistborn series could make some good film or TV. Honestly they could probably even pull off a whole cosmere MC universesque type thing... Although I think deals keep falling through because the author wants full creative control.

I mean looking at the ruins of the Game of Thrones franchise that David Benioff and D. B. Weiss left behind, maybe that's not such a bad idea.

Stormlight has to be an anime. Especially for the "magical girl Kaladin" memes

Pretty sure that's a result of him seeing how Wheel of Time has been going.

Or any adaptation where they DON'T have creative control.
