The epic sequel will be simply, THESAURUS.
After watching Foundation and then reading Foundation… Foundation. It could easily be done as an anthology. And as a recently Rekindled weeb, it would be fantastic as a well done anime. Really cannot understand what the Apple TV pus thing was going for other than “let’s just tell a copletely different story and co-opt the name. (Man that’s never been done before right?)
I will always say that HHGttG needs a well done remake as a TV series’s that leaves out nothing.
None. No more.
Beat me to it.
Apple, you’ve been doing a pretty good job but you need to do your own homework.
I have been disapointed by so many im not sure I want any at this point.
I wanna see a book accurate animated series based on Artemis Fowl. They did a movie but it wasn’t true to the book
An adaptation, or an ‘adaptation’, that’s a thinly veiled director’s fanfic?
Patrick O’Brien’s Aubrey-Maturin series should get a big budget event television maxi-series on the order of Game of Thrones. They made the movie Master And Commander, what? A couple decades ago? And it’s got one glaring problem: They only made one movie.
Draw the rest of the owl.
Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. But good luck getting any studio on board.
“So you have a fantasy TV show for me?”
“Yes sir, I do.”
“What happens?”
“Dude with leprosy gets run over, goes into a coma, wakes in a fantasy realm.”
“Cool, cool. Then what?”
“He rapes the first person he meets.”
“Oh. I do not like that at all!”
Neil Stephenson’s The Diamond Age
Bruce Sterling’s Involution Ocean
Wheel of time. No, that garbage they tried at Amazon doesn’t count.
I used to reread Wheel of Time frequently. I’ve probably completed the series more than 13 times, because I started reading it in the mid 90s and would reread from the beginning every time a new book was released.
After that Amazon slop, I haven’t touched the series since. It was so, so bad. And it had the potential to be so, so good. All the material was right there. All the money was there.
Such a wasted opportunity to have made something amazing.
As a pallet cleanser, here’s a fan made version made 10 years ago that is so much more authentic and watchable than Rafe’s disaster:
Should have just given them the millions.

I hadn’t heard of this! Thank you so much I’m excited.
I wish they could finish the Expanse. That was a pretty good adaptation as far as they got, and the books really tie everything very nicely together toward the end (as well as get kind of crazy)
The Tapestry Series, by Henry Neff.
It’s a kid-becomes-wizard story sort of in the Harry Potter vein, but darker, much better written, and much more complex. Also Henry Neff is a wonderful human being.
The Dark Tower. There is a film of the same name, but it has literally nothing to do with the masterpiece of literature that is the book series. A series would be how it should be done.
Seriously, fuck that movie. I know Stephen King always gets screwed by film adaptations, but even Ender’s Game was a more accurate telling of the books. Not even the Ender’s Game books, I mean Ender’s Game was a better film adaptation of The Dark Tower books than The Dark Tower movie was. I was in seat 19, that was the closest I got to seeing any material from the books in that piece of shit movie. They even had my ideal casting for Roland and The Man In Black, what a gods damned waste.
Mike Flannigan is adapting it to TV series.
