Yes, but note, it wasnt until 1921 that the Times exposed it as a fake, and Ford printed it a year earlier. Many people thought it was real.
Some morons still do.
See “Ford: The Man and the Machine”, a made-for-TV movie from 1987. I can’t vouch for the accuracy, but the three reviews in IMDB are generally favorable.
I’ve been waiting since 2011 for Under the Banner of Heaven.
That will be very controversial. Good book, tho.
One of my favorite series of stories. Kind of ‘Bladerunner meets Altered Carbon’.
Or any Niven, but I love the idea of doing the whole Known Space series. Maybe different directors/studios for each…
That’s what I was thinking. Big Netflix series.
Great book, have trouble seeing it as a movie, what with the switching back and forth between Mormon history and the modern storyline. A well done miniseries would work well and get across Krakauer’s message about the dangers of religious extremism, particularly if updated for political extremism.
Allen Steele’s “Coyote” book series would make great TV.
Has so much as a sentence written by Joe Haldeman been adapted for TV or film?
Tilda Swinton would be amazing as Elric of Melnibone.
Also, all the posts suggesting Red Storm Rising have really not aged well.
I would love to see Childhood’s End done properly this time.
I would also like to see, and they would have to be mini-series, David Brin’s Existence, Poul Anderson’s Boat of a Million Years, and Aurora by Kim Stanley Robinson.
Jasper Fforde’s Shades of Grey. I don’t know HOW you’d do it, but I think it could be very interesting.
He hasn’t even brought out the second book yet. And doesn’t seem likely to.
As of last June, he intended to.
Cool - and good to know DRM is due to follow. I need some damn closure on the Thursday Next cliffhanger we were left with.
But, from that site’s FAQ:
I’d like to see Poul Anderson’s Fire Time. Would it be better as a combination of live-action and CGI, or should it be entirely CGI?
Hmm, Russian movies. Definitely NOT a remake of Red Dawn. But maybe…
Alexander Dolgun’s Story - An American in the Gulag.
We The Living by Ayn Rand. (Yes, there was an Italian movie, time for a remake that would intentionally follow the book.)
How Randian is it?
The Italian movie? Or a a remake.
For the Italian movie, i recommend you check the Wikipedia page about it. It has an interesting history. Unfortunately it means that we can no longer see it as originally shown.
As a remake - it’s been a while since I’ve read the book but I believe that this is the LEAST “Randian” novel she wrote. For example, I don’t recall anything like that eternal mind-numbing polemic that brought Atlas Shrugged to a screeching halt.
Come to think of it - I’m surprised that no one has made a parody of the novels - along the line of “Bored With The Rings”.
