Name a book you want made into a movie
#16
"State of Fear" by Michael Crichton.

It's a newish book (2004) that's already too late to do, I think.

Michael Crichton, in Andromeda Strain style, added science to his fiction, and has the protagonist argue against global warming narratives. Including an index of real world data to back up his character's claim. Urban heat islands and deforestation over carbon. Measuring in cities and basing data off that.

While I disagree it should still be put out there, but studios would likely pass for that reason. Because if they cant annoyingly switch the children like they did in Jurassic Park, they wont produce it. Its main motif is politicized science. He predicts the future essentially.

It came out 2 years before An Inconvenient Truth, which officially made this book's protagonist a cultural villain. If it stayed true, it would be a well received on the right, and hated on the left.
