The title kind of says it. Are there any good SHTF books you'd like to see turned into a film?
I'll get us started:
I'll get us started:
- Lucifer's Hammer (1977): As far as I know, it never has been made into a film. It is one of the better ones in the genre. It could either be set in the original time (mid-1970s) or the present day and it would still work.
- Alas, Babylon (1959): Technically, this already exists in the form of a made-for-television, Playhouse 90 episode. I've never seen it, nor can find it on physical media or on the web. I think this one should be set in the original time and place (central Florida, late 1950s) to really work.
- One Second After (2009) and sequels: There were plans to make a film out of this, but as of yet, it has not come to fruition. It is a good story in general, but it also might educate the public about the threat posed by an EMP strike.
- First Angel (1988): It is never going to happen due to it being a no-name author, but it is easily one of the best preparedness fictional works I've read.
- Warday (1984): Interesting read, but I don't know how well it would translate to the big screen.
- Damnation Alley (1969): There already is a movie based upon said, but it is loosely so, and, frankly, it sucked.
