I'd like to see HBO / Starz do something different besides these fantasy / ye olden times shows.

There should be a live action series about space ships, for instance. Deep Sperg 90,000,000.

HBO, in addition to that Foundation series with Jonathan Nolan, there is Margret Atwood's "Year Of The Flood" trilogy, being developed by Darren Arronfsky.

the culture series isn't gritty or post-apocolyptic enough and would make a boring as gently caress show

Theres like a whole book where the protagonist is a terrorist trying to save his people from virtual hell after a liberal intervention from Culture resulted in the genocide of half his species.

Foundation is science chums doing math.

Consider Phlebas and Use of Weapons could work really well as a show, everything else would be super loving boring though

"the culture series isn't gritty" :what:

I mean most of the books are way too convoluted to make into film scripts and not terribly cinematic (I'm imagining a 5 minute scene of two spaceships talking to each other), but not gritty? Have you read any of these books?


OTOH it's a setting that's way more conducive to some HBO Tits than asimov's foundation

Foundation gets threatened, they offhandedly mention they have nukes dudes gently caress off for awhile. Then the Foundation turns nuclear science into a religion and force the government out of power because nuclear energy is rad as hell. The rest was mostly trade and politics and then the Mule shows up and fucks everything up

They're threatening the escapist with a libel lawsuit.

Yes, the company in an internet fight with Derek Smart is threatening to sue people

Yeah but the actual stuff he does in the book amounts to 'goes on holiday'.

I think Player of Games could work as a TV adaptation because all you'd need to do is stretch out the intrigue in the middle of the book until you are ready for the end-of-season finale.
