I was disappointed when Amazon canceled their plans to bring the first Culture novel, Consider Phlebas, to TV. After seeing the page-to-screen translation of Wheel of Time I think that it was just as well.

Now there's a series of novels I'd love to see on the screen. Assuming, of course that someone could do it justice. Not easy, given the scope.

  • The CGI for the orbital being scuttled would be expensive I imagine, but very, very cool.

Yeah, I’m really glad the Culture series will not be tarnished by amazon as well for now.

Honestly I’d want a studio dedicated taking these long, beautiful series and making long, beautiful TV adaptions true to the books. Probably wouldn’t make enough money though.
