I was thinking about writing a kinda fantasy story :) and i was wondering which would be best for it; a movie or a book? i mean i'd like to write a book :) but some of the action sequences would look better on a film :confused: what does every one think?
Well...you could write a book, then adapt it into a screenplay. But that would be double the work, in a way....Action sequences can be done pretty well in books, too though. :monster: So I'd say go for writing a book. *shrug*
:D
most definately a book for many reasons
kikirslrsl; thats what i was thinking of doing :D
JseanjohnC; please elaborate upon the aforementioned reasons :)
:elk:

I voted for book because I don't know how to kick off a career with a movie. Generally, good movies come from books and the book is better than the good movie anyway.
But with the new trend of geekdom in moderen pop culture, a movie might be a much better way to capitalize on a fantasy story than a book which might just get lost in the zillions of pages of fantasy scribbled down every day.
well, im thinking more from the point of view of which medium would be best to convey the story, not which would make the most money :)
You should write the book. Then make the movie if the book sells well. ^^
