I have this weird ability to pick out books that get made into TV and Movies like 12-18 months after I read them. I'm really curious to see how the 2 latest Andy Weir projects are going to pan out. I found The Martian about a year and some change before the movie was announced and it was great wondering how they were going to adapt it.

Apparently The Martian made so much money as a movie that the film rights were sold on the project after that one before the book was published. His next book was so good that they not only had the rights sold but had already cast the lead actor in the movie for his second book after The Martian (Project Hail Mary) before the general public could even read/listen to it.

However the one I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want to see a TV series (NOT A MOVIE) around is the Bobiverse series of books by Dennis Taylor. Those books were made of a limited run TV series with a large budget.

Red Rising TV show is in the works since a long time and could be glorious if done well (expensive though).

Mass Effect is also a very interesting project IMO and yeah Bobiverse would be cool (as would be Artemis and Project Hail Mary of course). Wool is great and upcoming already (pretty advanced).

Of course, also want to see Stormlight and the Cosmere in general, seems that has moved on that front recently from Sanderson comments. Interested to see Percy Jackson with the author involved too.

So many good books (and more) to adapt. If you can't do original stuff Hollywood, at least adapt more new stuff.

For more reasons than you think.

Check out who the showrunners are.

Is it DnD? *googles* yup it's DnD. Actually, might be ok since the book series is actually complete already, right? 😂

It'll mostly be interesting because those books doesn't seem to make for good TV so really interesting to see how they'll adapt it.
