The Friday Five.......a few days late
1. If you were going to remake a movie, what would it be and who would you cast in the roles?
Any of the Little Women movies. I don't know who I'd cast. I'd also remake the 4th Harry Potter movie. I'd keep the cast the same, but I'd actually make it follow the book rather than act like a travelogue of some of the points in the book.
2. If you could turn a book into a movie, what would it be and who would you cast in the roles?
I'd like to see the Pern books turned into movies. I don't know who I'd cast, though. Or maybe some of the Velgarth novels by Mercedes Lackey - Owlsight, Owlflight, and Owlknight or her Gryphon books, to be precise. And I wouldn't want to see too many big names in the movies. I'd like to see some new faces. Although seeing Viggo Mortensen as a Pernese dragon rider might be kind of fun. *grin* Or maybe see Gerard Butler in a more dramatic role like Silverfox or maybe one of the Tayledras scouts out of the Owl books.
3. If you were going to turn a video game into a movie, what would it be? Would it be animated or live-action?
They already made one of my favorite video games into a movie - Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. And Parasite Eve was a movie first and a game second. The only other game I really enjoy that I might want to see as a movie is Valkyrie Profile Live action would work (the LOTR movies were MOSTLY live action), but I think if they did a VP movie it would have to be a CG animated movie.
4. You're going to turn a book into a TV series. What is it? Why would it make a good TV show?
I can't think of anything I read that would translate well into a TV series. Maybe a two or three part mini-series to tell the whole story, but that's it. And even then way too much would get lost in the translation.
5. Do you generally prefer the movie versions or the novel versions of works?
Novel.
