I missed this earlier, but the change to Watchmen was fantastic. It makes more sense than the novel. A good adaptation doesn't simply translate everything exactly from page to celluloid.
By far my favorite superhero film. I think it's even more apt today, as the film post-Avengers would have been a completely different piece.

I am starting this thread because I can't believe we still aren't seeing a series of Dune films, Dune RPGS, Point & Clicks and turn based strategy games.
Its one of the biggest, most intricate space opera's of all time, it blows most if not all other space series out the water. The original Strategy games were a huge hit! The original film was bad, but it was back in the days of doing one film then maybe sequels instead of a Harry Potter/Lord of the Rings/Avengers style of just splitting it into a trilogy. I really liked the mini series with James McAvoy, it was pretty fantastic but it only covered the first 60-70 years and the beginning of the worm kings reign.
Basically, why aren't people all over Dune? My other thought leads towards The Watchmen, the film was perhaps too ambitious for one film, lots was missed out from the graphic novel, not to mention completely changing the ending, SQUID indeed. Series of films or a TV series would better suit it in my opinion, include the comic in the comic as well this time because its integral to the real ending. Don't fob us off with Gerard Butler doing a special DVD copy of the comic aside from the film.
What other huge media hasn't been touched in 20 years(or longer!)or maybe never that really deserves it? Genuinely interested in new ideas I haven't thought of, make me angry about the injustice! Don't suggest things that are constantly re-booted like Spiderman, Superman, Batman. You can suggest things like Star Trek(overdue a new series?).
EDIT 2: It doesn't have to be a movie that needs a reboot or a Game that needs a sequel etc, basically what has untapped potential, for example I can't believe we never got like an open world Buffy choice based RPG.
Edit: Personal list of things needing new media(constantly updated).
