What book series would you like to see made into a movie trilogy or a show with multiple seasons? (lemm.ee)

I've often wanted a movie/series based on the Dragonlance books or the Dark Elf trilogy. What would you all like to see done if you had the ability to do it?

I have a couple. I’d love to see Prydain done right but I don’t have much hope anymore.

Temeraire got optioned by Peter Jackson years and years ago. I remember thinking that Richard Armitage would be a perfect Lawrence, but it’s been too long; I think he’s probably too old now.

I think the rights reverted back to the author.

I'd love for Temeraire to be a series, in my head I had Tom Hiddleston as Laurence but he might be aging out as well. Though Richard Armitage would also have been awesome.

All I can think is that it would cost a boatload of money. Boats, war and dragons.

I'd watch it as an animated series, then it wouldn't matter how old Armitage or Hiddleston were.

I’ll watch Hiddleston do anything, honestly.

Yeah, I really like live action but I think it has a better shot as animation. I don’t mind animation but I’m more drawn to live action. But it’s hard and costly to put a lot of fantasy to live-action screen.

Hell yes to Prydain but I'm not sure who would do it. I'm sure Disney associates it with their dark time in animation.
