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.
