Loading ...I believe that movies should be made from books more often. My favorite book is Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane, and I thank god that none other than Martin Scorcese is making this movie, but in another prespective, I liked the book I Am Legend by Richard Matheson, and the movie was a complete waste of time. Saying this, I believe that these are movies that need to be adapted from books and made into movies, along with the director in which they should be made by. SIDENOTE: if you haven’t read any of these books, check them out!!!

I think the book Bloodtide by Melvyn Burgess should be made into a film, and if it isn’t done soon then I shall damn well do it myself!
I think you’ll find though, that 1984 is already a film and Julius Caesar is many films!

I know. 1984, which had John Hurt in it, and yes I also know about Caesar, but the point is that we need an update. You have to admit, Kenneth Branagh doing it would be amazing. Plus, I didn’t mean 1984, in essence, I meant to use its story line and put someone in the same position, but to make it more relative to the time period.
