and who is the actor/actress would you like to see play the lead characters?
If it were up to me, I wouldn't have chosen Tom Hanks to play Robert Langdon. I would have preferred George Clooney but with the look he had in Syriana.
Or to play the Dirk Pitt character in Clive Cussler's Sahara, instead of Matthew McConauhey, I would have chosen Denzel Washington, (even if he is black and the character is obviously white. Remember Wild Wild West? Will Smith played the lead character).

There are a couple of books that I would really love to see turned into movies. The first is The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub. The actor for the lead could be Haley Joel Osment. The second, and I think it would have to be a mini series, is also by Stephen King, and is The Dark Tower. I don't really know who I'd like to see as the stars in this one, though.

I would like to see The Time Traveler's Wife made into a movie. I'm not sure who i would choose for the characteres. I'd also like to see The Anita Blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton made into a movie.

How Soon is Never, by marc Spitz and I think Paul Rudd would be perfect for the main character Joe Green. It is a great novel and seeing as how Paul Rudd has acted in one of spitz's plays before, I know he works well with the writing style.
