I'd be delighted to serve as language expert for such an important adaptation! My choice would definitely be to put The Bloodsworn Trilogy on screen, and I'd film it in Iceland. Cheers, gents!
I would love a Red Rising adaptation! Also, Shadow of the Gods would be amazing. The set pieces are so vivid and a Vikings style TV show would be awesome!
There are quite a few I would love to see, but top of my list would be Kings of the Wyld. I just think it would make a fun almost musical adaptation! Maybe not full broadway musical but close lol
Great pick guys! I'd like to see an adaptation of Gaiman's The ocean at the end of the lane but done in a way Studio Ghibli would. When I read that book I pictured ot in my mind as Studio Ghibli movie.
From the ones I've read here, I absolutely agree that they would make amazing adaptations!! I would personally really love to see Nevernight adapted, probably as a film trilogy... though a TV series would be good as well, the more content the better, lol. Also, I love how you guys just started randomly started assigning roles in the adaptation process to all these lovely booktubers, hahah. Totally on point though, I think you would all make a dream team and produce an epic fantasy show/film 🤪 Loved this video!! 🤩
The Brothers Gwynne are two fine chaps! You both have added a lot of great historical fiction and fantasy books to my tbr! Ed, after watching 1 of the videos where u talked about Tom Swan, I tracked down the hardback trilogy set and am very excited for them to arrive. I also have Cameron complete collection of all his historical books and series, thanks to ur recommendations. Thanks for putting out excellent content!! 🍻
Of series I've read recently I wouldn't mind seeing Book of the Ancestor trilogy, The Winnowing Flame trilogy, and the Skyward series adapted. Provided they could very done well. I would love to see Red Rising adapted and done well. That would make an awesome sci-fi series.
If you ever do an adaptation of The Shadow of the Gods, I'd like to apply for the position of Dragon caretaker! Even if Lik-Rifa would probably shorten my life in a flash...
Great video, guys! I would love to see Best Served Cold by Joe Abercrombie as a movie. All of the first law would be great but I think this one is perfect for an adaptation. Also, nothing official but Jay Kristoff and Joseph Morgan have been heavily teasing an Empire of the Vampire project in the works
Shadow of the Gods would be so great but it needs a GOT level budget for sure. I would be disappointed if the Gods weren't the same size ratio as you see on the covers.
I would looooove to see a Golden Son adaptation... only a third into Morning Star right now but loving it. The first book was just OK but the second book is so damn spectacular that a proper TV / movie version could be incredible
Heck yes to Red Rising - I'm honestly surprised it's not already a series. Especially with what British Ed said - so many relevant talking points with class/race issues, etc. You would think that as popular as the books are it would be seen as safe to take a chance on producing. I can't see it flopping or losing money. Unless of course Hollywood completely ruins it, but they NEVER do that . . . 🙄
Hi 👋 to be honest with u both, I prefer books more... they always ruin tv series or movies 🎥 because they never stick to the storyline 😢..... like ur always watching ur videos!! Happy reading to you both!! 🍁🕸🎬
I always like the books more if I’ve read them first, but when I watch the show first I’m usually pleased. I’ve been enjoying the Outlander series, which is the first show I’ve been into for a long time. I’ll be curious to check the books afterwards 📚 📽
Sadly movies/tv series never can do a proper job in bringing a story to screen (except for fight club). That being said, I’d like these books to be adapted : 1) shadow of the gods 2) The heroes (Abercrombie) 3) piranesi
Some of your picks are on my TBR, so I don’t have any opinion about them yet (but I *knew* Boudicca would somehow find her way on Ed’s list. 😂.) In a similar spirit but mixing Fantasy with historical fiction I would love to see Shauna Lawless’s Children of Gods and Fighting Men adapted. At the top of my list is a series that is presently in development though it has just lost the streamer that was to pick it, and that would be Fonda Lee’s Green Bone Saga. I think I would also really love to see Rivers of London series as well. As for science fiction I would really love to see the latest Alastair Reynolds novel Eversion be made as a movie. And also The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August by Claire North (or anything by Claire North really, she’s fantastic).
As someone obsessed with BM I would love to see it...but to find someone to do it justice and also keep to the structure and brutality of the story would be too hard I think. It certainly wouldn't be a film for everyone. Hopefully one day a director with enough pulling power wants to have a go at it. Ed
Neverwhere was on my lips for the entire video and I thought you might bring it up! I think it would make a really great animated series where the animation really accentuates all of the colourful characters’ quirks. But I do also have to say, I would LOVE Faithful and the Fallen. I think it would make an excellent long series. I would also love to see a film series of Iain M Banks’ Culture books. They’d be epic. I would also like to see Wheel of Time done well….so let’s see how the tv series continues, if they smash the next season then nice. If not, I demand another adaptation!
Here's my picks 1. The dark tower series by Stephen king I hated the movie version the series should be a tv show Mike flannigan would be great doing that he's already directed 3 adaptations of kings work 2. They never learn by Layne Fargo because it definitely would be great 3. Swan song by Robert mccammon I would love to see it be a miniseries 4. The clearing by heather Davis 5. Rose madder the book is so underrated but it definitely should get an adaptation 6. The godblind trilogy by Anna Stephens it would be a good fantasy tv show 7. Dracula the undead by Dacre stoker it's technically a sequel to bram stoker Dracula 8. The cactus by Sarah Haywood 9. The heart principle by helen Hoang it would be a great romantic film 10. The green bone saga by Fonda lee
If you are only going to read one do you recommend ride the wind or empire of the summer moon? I don't think im going to read 2x of the same story (atleast back to back) so which is the better work in your opinion
As Empire of the Summer moon is non-fiction you see the broad sweep of the Comanche influence from the 16th to 20th century. Ride The Wind is focused on the characters... I would probably start with Empire of the Summer Moon which is what I did. Ed
What are some adaptations that you would love to see?
Truth & Courage!
I'd be delighted to serve as language expert for such an important adaptation! My choice would definitely be to put The Bloodsworn Trilogy on screen, and I'd film it in Iceland. Cheers, gents!
We are a fan of that choice! We'll be in contact about the language expert job vacancy😁

Red Rising would be amazing as a series. Watching For All Mankind on Apple TV makes me believe it could be done well.
I would love a Red Rising adaptation! Also, Shadow of the Gods would be amazing. The set pieces are so vivid and a Vikings style TV show would be awesome!
Darrow and Severo on screen... and Ragnar! and Mustang! Would be so good. Yes, it would looks sooo amazing!
Will
@@thebrothersgwynne Imagine Snakavik on screen! 😱🤩
There are quite a few I would love to see, but top of my list would be Kings of the Wyld. I just think it would make a fun almost musical adaptation! Maybe not full broadway musical but close lol
That would be so brilliant wouldn't it! There must be a Kickstarter for this!
Ed
@@thebrothersgwynne right, I'd totally back that!
I heard The Winter King is getting adapted! Can’t wait for this!
Great pick guys!
I'd like to see an adaptation of Gaiman's The ocean at the end of the lane but done in a way Studio Ghibli would. When I read that book I pictured ot in my mind as Studio Ghibli movie.
That would be a moving film for sure. Great book.

I’ll be starting the Boudicca series as well soon!
Thank you for your kind words! Hope you enjoy Tom Swan as much as I do! Truth and courage.
Ed
I want to see an adaptation of The Reckoners trilogy by Brandon Sanderson :)
Shadow of The Gods is my choice hands down. All I ask Is to be a character that gets took down by Orka.
I'm sure that could be arranged😂

You would be first on the list to Dragon Caretaker...good luck!

Loved the concept of Neverwhere. Would be fantastic to see it on screen. My favourite Neil Gaiman as well. Probably gets my vote.
Shadow of the Gods would be so great but it needs a GOT level budget for sure. I would be disappointed if the Gods weren't the same size ratio as you see on the covers.
It would need a mega budget wouldn't it!
Ed

Golden Son is fantastic isn't it. Very cinematic.

Doesn't sound like Hollywood does it! I agree, I cannot believe it hasn't already been optioned.

I often prefer the books :). Hah yep, it is a shame that it's hard to trust adaptations nowadays! Happy reading :).

@@Roondawg_Valhalla happy reading to you!!
@@safinan8008 Thanks much, to you as well!
Sadly movies/tv series never can do a proper job in bringing a story to screen (except for fight club). That being said, I’d like these books to be adapted :
1) shadow of the gods
2) The heroes (Abercrombie)
3) piranesi
Great choices! Love Fight Club.
Ed
Some very good options..
Other than Shadow of the Gods.. I'd love to see the Powder Mage books, although I think this might be a thing soon?
I heard the same, mate. They're very cinematic books.
Ed
I was already invested but then Ed shed a tear and 💔
Thank you for your support on my emotional rollercoaster of a journey
😅
Ed
"Empire of The Summer Moon" was an outstanding read! It would make a great movie or tv series if done right. Great video as always gents!
Totally agree! Thanks for watching.

You know me so well! I could definitely see an awesome adaptation of COGAFM! We still need to read Green Bone Saga. Great choices.
Ed
How would you guys feel about a Blood Meridian adaptation? I don’t think it’s possible to do it properly!
As someone obsessed with BM I would love to see it...but to find someone to do it justice and also keep to the structure and brutality of the story would be too hard I think. It certainly wouldn't be a film for everyone. Hopefully one day a director with enough pulling power wants to have a go at it.
Ed
@@thebrothersgwynne That would be awesome, I wonder who would be able to pull something like that off
Legend would be amazing... but would depend on the casting of Druss
So hard to cast him isn't it.
Ed

@@thebrothersgwynne awesome, going to the library on sunday I will definately request it, great videos!
There was a BBC adaption of Neverwhere. But it was 1996 so doubt either of you were even alive 😉🤭
I feel old........
I was alive! Towards the end of it anyway😂

With ed’s acting skills he could easily star in the rings of power
I think even my dog's acting skills would land him a leading role in it...
