Eragon could have at least been a fun fantasy romp. It failed even in that.

I didn't care for the movie.

It will be intertwine to see how faithful to the book , the upcoming Dune film will be.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a great adaptation of Who Censored Roger Rabbit in that it hardly follows it at all, since it is a pretty awful book.

My favoite end of cilcization novel is Earth Abides by George R Stewart. I would love to see this one adapted.

I'm afraid they would Mad Max it up for modern audiences.

I had no idea it was based on an actual novel.

Re: Roger Rabbit
It was considered for adaptation into a movie for a few years, but it focused on comic strip characters, not cartoon film. The author did a sequel and changed it so it followed the movie universe instead (Roger Rabbit dies in the book). There's no Judge Doom, no Dip, and it is set in modern times.

I not sure but I think there was talk about another Roger Rabbit film?

Yes. A WW 2 prequel idea--and I think more recently a plan for one set in the 1960s but I guess that was abandoned.
