The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Other Future Dresden works rumor thread
Griffyn612:
I remember a few years back, around the time the last book came out, there was talk of someone picking up the recently re-acquired film rights. And there was mention of a producer involved in a movie being released around the time, either Maleficent or XM:DoFP, being interested.
I'm assuming at this point that nothing developed. But I'll confess to a small kernel of hope that there's something on the horizon.
wardenferry419:
Maybe, someday there will be.

The only film I ever saw that was better than the book was Lord of the Flies from the 1950s (I think there was a poorly done more recent version, too).
The worst book to film adaption I’ve ever seen was Catch 22. The film makers really missed the whole point of the book and made a stupid comedy.

I can agree that a movie rarely outshines the book it is bases on. Though, sometimes a movie outdoes a short story. Two that come to mind are Shawshank Redemption and Breakfast at Tiffany's.

I would love to see Harry on the big screen, but I do not think it would be to the book standard. A lot of people point to the Harry Potter series as an example of a book to movie adaptation that was done well (for the most part). However, that was a unique example as the main actors were able to age with the movies. A direct book to screen adaptation would be hard due to the large number of books. More likely than not, if they wanted to adapt the current storyline, they would cut books out entirely or combine books together in one film. Alternatively, they could create brand new stories for Dresden and set it in an "alternate universe" to the main stories (my preferred method). I would also love to see an animated Dresden ala The Last Airbender.
