Another Hyperion fan! Excellent...
>>>And another. Simmons reports that all four books are being written as
one three-hour movie, I believe, for Martin Scorsese. I have a feeling
Scorsese will end up just exec-producing it, though.
Hyperion exists on that line of great SF books that are literature which
cannot reasonably be translated into film, and those that are good stories that
can. I bring this up because I find Wolfe perhaps the living SF writer whose
work is SO book-ish that I can't imagine it being adapted to film. On the
other end are the many SF books which seem to have been written with an
ultimate movie adaptation in mind.
