Dan Simmons' HYPERION: THE MOVIE!

[Ghoul]

jedina simonsova 100% dobra knjiga ide na film.

ko zna zašto je to dobro, i da li će u tranziciji do filma da ostane dobro, al ajde...

Warners has acquired the rights to Dan Simmons' HYPERION CANTOS novels & are working to turn them into movies. Trevor Sands will adapt the first two books in the series (HYPERION and THE FALL OF HYPERION) into one feature script.

The Hugo-winning, Nebula nominated series...

   ...deals with a space war, with most of the action taking place on a planet named Hyperion, known not only for its electricity-spewing trees but also for the Time Tombs, large artifacts that can move through time. The tombs are guarded by a monster called the Shrike, which impales people on metal trees.

boldovana deonica gore ukazuje da im je (predvidivo) stalo do franšize i do zatupljivanja romana kroz razvodnjavanje njegovim debilnim nastavcima.

I know that the "there's too much story to adapt" reaction is cliché. I know that adaptations don't need to be the same thing as the original and often shouldn't be. I know bad adaptations don't affect the original in any way. (Those would be the cliché responses to the cliché complaints.) I'm just tired of it. Why not adapt some short stories, or something where there's a chance to fit in a decent portion of the original material. Bah. Humbug.

Pa, kad se iz romana izbace dobro napisane karakterizacije-biografije glavnih likova (od njih bi moglo da se napravi pola tuceta dobrih SF filmova), ostaje nemušta priča o Shrike-u (glavni junak je još neupotrebljiviji), taman dovoljno za "Ratove zvezda".

Hiperion i Pad Hiperiona su zasluzili raskosnu TV seriju kao sto je nova Galaktika, a ne banalizaciju, to jest trpanje dva romana u film od dva-tri sata. I potpisujem ovo sto je Scallop napisao.
