The movies yet to be made...

Day 24 - That one awesome movie idea that still hasn't been done yet

Easy: a series of movies based on Dorothy Dunnett's novels. Preferably the Lymond series, but any and all of them from The Proving Climb to King Hereafter, and not excluding The Scottish Highlands.

I've heard many say it shouldn't be tried because it couldn't be done well, but I don't buy that - especially in a conceptual exercise. I didn't think Peter Jackson could succeed with The Lord of the Rings, but there you have it.

Other books which should be made into movies:

• The Vorkosigan novels by Lois McMaster Bujold
  
• Mary Renault's novels, especially The Persian Boy
  
• Georgette Heyer's novels
