I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;ll finish it this week, but it may happen if this is the only night where I&#8217;m working in the wee smalls.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s challenge asks: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Which book(s) would you like to see made into a movie (or TV show)?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ooh! Here are a half dozen off the top of my head: <\/p>\n<p>Sherry Thomas&#8217; Lady Sherlock series should definitely be adapted as a costume drama by the BBC. They&#8217;d need to a fundraiser, though, just to cover the dessert budget line. Also, I&#8217;m going to be super critical about casting in this film.<\/p>\n<p>Jasper Fforde has said that he will not adapt his Thursday Next series for the screen, because it will never live up to what&#8217;s on the page. I know the BBC (or maybe ITV) adapted the first book of <em>The Last Dragonslayer<\/em>, though. I&#8217;d love to see that &#8212; and if it&#8217;s good to have them do the rest of the series.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Scott&#8217;s <em>The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel<\/em> series would make a fun series with its international settings and its cast of literary characters.<\/p>\n<p>Erin Morgenstern&#8217;s <em>The Night Circus<\/em> was optioned, but I&#8217;m guessing it fell through. It would make an amazing movie, but should mostly be filmed in black and white, with only specific circus-themed scenes in color.<\/p>\n<p>Brian Selznick&#8217;s two other prose-illustration tomes have been made into well-received films, so I definitely hope someone is working on one for <em>The Marvels<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Finally (just because I need to finish that work and go to bed) speaking of Marvel, they keep pushing back their Ms. Marvel film adaptation. With so many of this summer&#8217;s films moving to a 2021 release and no work being done anywhere on new shoots, I can only assume this is going to push its release back even further. I mean, they did eventually film me a Black Widow movie before Scarlett Johansson totally aged out of the role, so here&#8217;s hoping&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In his middle age, Corey has become a lap cat.
