Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy is being filmed as well - I haven't read it, but it's supposed to be very good fantasy.

Another good series was by C.S. Friedman, the coldfire trilogy.

They'd have to do something about the lead, though. To my recollection, the priest or whoever it was in the lead was a pretty uninspiring character. Nothing that a little screenplay tweaking couldn't fix, though.

Or how about even the 4 Dragon lance novels. I could see combining the 4 books into 2 movies.
And if it was done right, might be a pretty good movie.

I'm not saying it won't happen, just that if it does, it's probably not going to be very good.
