Glad I did the search and found this thread before I tried to start a new one.

Here are some books that would make great movies

The Elric Books
The Ender Books (possibly in production)
The Alienest by Caleb Carr (not Sci Fi or Fantasy but an awesome bit of historical fiction)
The Mitch Rapp books (even though we already had have 24)
The Devil in the White City (as mentioned earlier)
Foucoults Pendulum (a difficult task though)

The Ender Books are sorta kinda in production, just don't let Paul Verhoeven anywhere near it.

The latest author-written screenplay was finished and submitted to Warner Brothers by Orson Scott Card in May 2003. David Benioff and D.B. Weiss were later signed to write a new script, working closely with Wolfgang Petersen. However, as of December 15, 2005, all previous attempts to write a script had been dropped. Card himself has announced he will be writing a new script not based on any previous one, including his own.

While Ender's Game is officially in pre-production, according to IMDB[6], the movie rights to the book is still looking for a financier.[7] Nothing has been released on the content of the approved script, or casting, however based on information from Orson Scott Card's previous scripts, it will be a fusion between Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow, both of which take place in the Battle School at the same time, but the former from Ender's point of view, and the latter from Bean's point of view.

Looks like the Dark Tower may be in the works....


.
IGN Movies has reported that a film adaptation is in the works; whether it is for a movie or a television series is unknown. J. J. Abrams, who has been behind shows such as Lost and Alias, is supposedly attached to produce and direct.[5] Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof, also affiliated with Lost and J. J. Abrams, have optioned the Dark Tower series from King for a reported nineteen dollars, which of course, is the infamous number from the Dark Tower series of novels.[6] According to issue #923 of Entertainment Weekly, King "is an ardent supporter of the desert-island show and trusts Abrams to translate his vision" into a film franchise with Lindelof being "the leading candidate to write the screenplay for the first installment."[7] Multiple mock trailers have popped up on Youtube. Also, the official Grand Prize winner of Simon & Schuster's (King's Publisher) American Gunslinger contest [1], "Roland Meets Brown" [2], can be found there.
In King's 2007 film The Mist, the main character David Drayton can be seen painting a movie poster of what is assumed to be Roland in the center, standing beside a rose and a black tower, further fueling rumors of an adaptation.
In February 2008, Abrams announced that he and Lindelof had begun work on an early draft for the adaptation. [8]
