Sick of rebooted movies? What story/novel would you make into a feature film?

Remake after remake...old stories done over and over again....isn't it time the movie makers found some good stories that haven't been made into movies and film them?

What story do you think should be the next big movie?

How about a Raymond E Feist novel like Magician?

I just finished reading a great book yesterday that I thought would be a wonderful film if it was done well.
The Third Angel by Alice Hoffman is a cozy treasure to read.

There are three stories of three women that all overlap through time in a hotel in London.
I think Polly Morrice does better than me in reviewing this touching novel.

Alice Hoffman is no stranger to having her novels turned into film. she also wrote Practical Magic which turned out quite well in the theatre, as well as a few others too. If this novel was turned into a movie, I could see it winning an Oscar for Best Cinematography.

I haven't read that one...it does sound interesting! And better than another A-Team :)

There is a sad tinge to some of the characters... but overall it gives you a little push of hope.

Shannara series by Terry Brooks. They all would make good movies. That includes the Word and the Void books, if you count them as part of the series. Actually, Warner Bros. has the rights to it right now, and they had Mike Newell attached to direct, starting with The Elfstones of Shannara, but it seems to have fallen apart.

I would go more mainstream. I would like to see the Star Wars expanded universe of books make their way into film. It's sad that Lucas didn't plan for an episode 7,8, and 9. I enjoy those books, and I would at least see the universe after the original trilogy, if not the characters who made the series memorable.
