Like Doctor Who Meets Dune Meets The Canterbury Tales, Only Good, Not Campy … And With Religion! In Space!

Books, Geekery, Movies

I wonder how the hell the pitch session went, but Warner films is indeed making a film adaptation of Dan Simmons's wonderful Hyperion novels. If you've not read any of them, I'd avoid that link, as it's chock full of spoilers, and you really should read the books, the first one anyway, because I said they're wonderful. Because they are. If you're into science fiction, and time travel, and what religion might be like in the future, and that sort of stuff.

Did I mention that Simmons has a series called Illium, about robots orbiting Jupiter and the Greek gods being robots or something, and the siege of Troy? It's a lot better than that sounds, I know. It's great!

Did I mention that it must have been an interesting pitch session?

Thanks to DaHowie at Octopus Overlords for the news.
