I'd be interested in a 'good' Fafhrd & Grey Mouser movie, and I've be interested in a 'good' Stainless Steel Rat movie.
It's fun to imagine a live-action Journey to the West movie, but I don't think it'd work well.

I assume you have read the book, how big a budget would the story need for it to be done justice on screen?
Kirby's designs look cool too.
Have you heard any news about this project being picked up recently or anything?

Neya, I've heard great things aobut the Wheel of Time books, but I haven't read any yet. What do you think of them?

They're fantastic, but honestly I think the story has gotten away from Jordan. Up to eleven books now, and the last three books total advanced the storyline less than one single book did earlier in the series. Early on, it's fantastic, the first six books will grab you and not let go, books seven, eight, nine and ten will likely piss you off for slowing down, becoming more politically oriented and muddled a bit. Book eleven revived the feelings of the earlier novels a bit, more resolution, more progression, but I think the damage was done with the midcycle lull.
Overall, the series is a worthy read, a time consuming one, but definately worth doing, but depending on your reading speed, wait a tad so Jordan has time to work on the supposed final book.
Anyway, just so that wasnt a total derail, Id also like to add that a movie adaptation of the Dragonlance Chronicles would be nifty too.

Whether the public will continue to swallow large-scale fantasy, I don't know.
think at this point, no, not one on this size and scale. Wheel of Time would either be neutered beyond recognition if each book were a 3 hour movie, or it would take multiple movies per book, either way, the story would either be too hacked apart or too drawn out to keep audiences. Heck, a film franchise based on a 12 book long story would be alot for anyone to swallow.

Scorcesse was talking about doing it a couple of years ago, that film would be more epic than anything being released today.
