Would love to see (and probably be disappointed by) a Revelation Space adaptation.
I think diamond dogs would make a really interesting animation short or maybe full-length movie.
But any of the books from the main series would require the kind of love and effort that the Expanse got early on.
I don't know that any series would ever get that kind of love ever again. What The Expanse got was rare and amazing.
That's kind of my fear and given how kind of hard science fiction Rev space is. I think it would really suffer if it got the generic space treatment that most of Hollywood considers adequate for science fiction.
Knowing Hollywood they would skip over the entire relativistic aspect of the universe. Or like altered carbon miss some of the depth and nuance of the social commentary.
Although I love the books, I'd never want to see them as a film. I expect it would be so gory it would take away from the story. Kind of how Game of Thrones was just so focused on boobs that it was honestly embarrassing to watch sometimes.
