Looking For Alaska by John Green. Someone's got the rights for it, but I see no effort being made into making it a movie.

I just discovered that they already made 3 films of it. Oh well... The Trial by Kafka

they made a film of that, too.

Okay, how about a remake?

The Eclipse Of The Century, by Jan Mark. That was brilliant.

They could also do the Chaos Walking trilogy by Patrick Ness... it was really good.

The hunger games as a film would be amazing!

Erm I think the Weather Warden series would be great to see, and some more Jodi Picoult books as films, like 19 minutes or the pact.

The Dark Tower.

If I'm correct, it is being made into a movie.

I want Seventh Son by Orson Scott Card to be made into a movie. That'd be interesting.

John Dies At The End....which might actually happen sometime.

We Need To Talk About Kevin is finally getting worked on. I'm really hoping they don't fuck it up, which they probably will.

I want to see The Vagina Ass of Lucifer Niggerbastard turned into a movie. That'd be fucking epic.

The Rapture by Liz Jensen. Was supposed to be in production but seems to have slowed down. Would make for an awesome feature.

Looking for Alaksa, which I hear is in the works but might just be rumours.

And lastly, Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson which is never going to happen.

Brave New World - Aldous Huxley. I don't know who could make that into a film. Maybe Stanley Kubrick, but he's gone now so... Idk. Aronofsky? No... to trippy, Maybe Terrence Malick, but his films are usually more hopeful, but he could probably pull it off nicely.

There has been a TV movie based on it, but I'd like to see a feature full scale film of Brave New World.

Lets see here: (I have read every one of these series fully)

Hunger Games- Being made already
The Mortal Instruments Series- Being made already
Maximum Ride- Being made already
The Uglies Series- Apparently happening (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0986270/board/nest/185998323?d=185998323&p=1#185998323)
House Of Night Series- Not Happening Yet
Emberverse Series, SM Stirling- Again Nothing Yet
Ranger's Apprentice Series- Working on Financing apparently
The Looking Glass Wars- Similar to the new Alice in Wonderland, but not the same.
King Raven Trilogy- Adolescent/teenage novels of Robin Hood
Blue Bloods Series- Nothing yet
The Inheritance Cycle- First one was made, but no more because they fucked it up

I'd love for all of them to make it into movies but thats not happening.

Heart shaped box by Joe Hill,with Zakk Wylde as Judas Coyne.and Christopher Lee as Craddock,i know he dont fit how Craddock is described in the book but just think about it.

The rest of the Inheritance Cycle,and make them more detailed than the first,and actually kill off people the same way as in the books.
