being written as one three-hour movie, I believe, for Martin Scorsese. I

<DIV>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.</DIV>
