I think that I have mentioned this before but I was totally disgusted with the movie 'Hunt for Red October'. Not only did they change very important parts, for what I consider poor reasons, they left out so much of the really nice parts IMHO. Good books need to be read. But I would love to see a good book turned into a visual medium. But I'm a bit picky: put into it everything that I think was good in the book. I think that anything like the Honorverse books the only possibility to do it anywhere close to right would be a very long series. I'm thinking an entire season of two to four hour per week episodes for each novel. For some it could be even longer. Would I buy the DVD's, all thirty or so of them, if that was done? Yes, I would even if it meant Ramen Noodles for dinner for the year. At least if the film-maker followed the books like a fundamental religious fanatic.
I know what you mean. When I think of good books made into movies, I immediately think 'Close Encounters of The Third Kind.' It even rivaled the very good book. 'Hunger Games' is okay so far.
If Honorverse ever sees tv, which channel would be best? The Sci-Fi channel? I'm concerned because some channels seem to cancel shows too quickly.
