Oh god a Culture movie would be amazing. I'd also nominate Peter F Hamilton's Commonwealth books or Alastair Reynolds' Revelation Space - the hard part would be affording enough CGI within any kind of reasonable budget.


While I think it'd be interesting, I'm not sure that Revelation Space would translate well to the big screen.

And while I'd love to see it, I'm terrifed that any culture novel would be butchered beyond recognition.

Would be worth it just to see "mainstream america's" (i.e. Fox's) reaction to showing a socialist, anarchist society as utopia. BWAHAHAHAHA

There's a vast wealth of untapped sci-fi stories out there, but no... we have to reheat the same old shit over and over.

Agreed. Altered Carbon would make a great movie but it's been in development hell for years. I'd love to see a Culture movie.
and those are just the first two that come to mind.

Another vote for Altered Carbon.

I'd like to see The Stars My Destination too, though it might be one of those "be wary of what you ask for, you might get it" things.

"Although the novel has long been considered an "unfilmable" science fiction work,[18] the screen rights were reported in 2006 to have been acquired by Universal Pictures.[19]

In the story "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale" he doesn't even go there in his dream.>> ^sanderbos:

Yeah, so you mean this time he won't even go to Mars in his dream. Maybe he will have a dream in his dream where he goes to Mars, and then he wakes up and it was all a dream, or was it (and it was).
>> ^HugeJerk:
Mars not being in it is fine... in the original story, he never goes to Mars. He wants to go there but can't afford it, which is why he went to get the false memory of a Mars trip.

Not a single shot of Mars in the trailer? That doesn't bode well.


That's because there isn't any Mars in this version. They removed it.

No three titted hookers? I'ma gonna pass on this.

Thanks!

You must remember this film is based on the book, it is not a remake of the original film.

I think it look alright actually. Will definitely go and see it.

>> ^Trancecoach:

get your ass to Mars


Unfortunately, no... *sigh*

Thanks! And I hope you're right about the movie being good. I remain skeptical, but I'd like to be pleasantly surprised.

It's going to be good, Total Recall was made for CGI overloading! *promote
