Would love to see an Otherland adaptation into a series. There was a film being planned but haven’t heard anything in a while. Tad Williams is a fantastic author.
"The Sword of Truth" series by Terry Goodmind. But better than they did before, like, actually follow the books.

Gateway by Fredrik pohl would be great to see reimagined.
Übel Blatt Manga as Anime
For me its simple: Metro 2033 as a movie. Do I want that real bad.
I know it had a brief go in the 90s, but I’d love to see a proper adaptation of Animorphs. Those books were wild, especially for something I remember starting in 3rd or 4th grade. I’d prefer animated personally, but I would tolerate another live action series. Tech has definitely improved enough to do the alien races justice in either format. Another pick would be Vampire Hunter D. It got a couple anime movies but I think a series could really do it some justice. It has such a fascinating world.
Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld. You'd need a massive budget to make the darwinists look convincing though so it'll probably never happen.
Tad Williams - The Dragonbone Chair
Trudi Canavan - The Black Magician Trilogy
Melanie Rawn: The Dragon Prince
I didn't think special effects could do it justice in the past, but I think they've definitely advanced far enough now.
A Darker Shade of Magic was slated for a movie, then a TV show, but I think it's basically been dropped. I really enjoyed that series and think it would be a pretty easy adaptation.
Something by Alastair Reynolds. I think Eversion would work as a mini series. Otherwise Revelation Space would be sick, but perhaps as an animated show instead of live-action.
Pushing Ice might be cool. His other stuff is so hit or miss for me.
