Which book to film adaptation are you surprised hasn't been made yet?
- Artemis Fowl
— KittyPitty
- Kind of lame, but one of my favourite childhood series was called 'Ranger's Apprentice', and I would love to see a good movie adaptation of that
— spookycheeses
- A decent witcher adaptation. People have tried, however it wasn't that good.
— kaip123
- The Redwall series
Edit: Apparently this was made into a [TV series](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redwall_\(TV_series\)) already
I was thinking more the high end quality of Pixar animation with the intensity of Game of Thrones.
— Laidback36
- The Bartimaeus Trilogy
Seriously clever books with plenty of mythos and a well-built universe. There's magic, realism, actual stakes, death, and a colourful cast of characters. With Doctor Strange doing as well as it did, I think this series could kick ass.

- Garth Mix the Seventh Tower or Nix's Keys to the Kingdom. Both great series for potential tv or movies.
Edit: also dragonriders of pern

- The Gone series by Michael Grant, should have been made when young adult series adaptations were all the hype (Hunger Games, Divergent, etc.)
— Narhun
- The Foundation by Isaac Asimov.
— mejjem
- *The Song of the Lioness* series by Tamora Pierce. I loved that series as a tween and recently re-read them. They hold up a well IMO

- The Pendragon series by D. J. Machale. It would work very well as a Netflix, Hulu or HBO series. Ten books of traveling between alternate universes. Each world feels unique and interesting, the cast is diverse and unique, and the fact that the villain sometimes *wins* at the end of some of the books makes it much more realistic, and raises the stakes exponentially.
This would suck as a movie series, but it would be perfect for television.

- Skulduggery Pleasant. They were supposedly so close to getting it off the ground and then Sony wanted to make it a musical. I'm sooooooo angry nothing has happened since
