i fear no one will everyone able to do Dune right
Do basically the same thing but change the setting to an Edo era like Japan. Give me money
Just the historical documentary Stargate sg1.Seriously. Ancient Egypt. Nobody does it. The movie industry fails at it. Spike did a great job with Tut like I said, watch it if you haven't.
Is there any TV shows out there with this setting? I can't find any.
I usually would roll my eyes at this but anime is probably one of the most under tapped resources for adaptations.I have a suggestion... Berserk.

I think their harder to adapt than western sources but if done right could be huge
FOX tried their hand with Hieroglyph. Even remembered to include black people.
I thought that was canceled before it went to air?
Indeed. But they tried, and then failed.
I have a suggestion... Berserk.

The Dark Tower is absolutely ripe for Game of Thrones level greatness if a TV show could be made. Dune could have multiple series with the original story and the prequals.
You noticed how every other foreign (non English speaking) movie in the US gets remade with American (often white) actors and setting? I'm sure that is a factor.I always wondered why this haven't been done a lot...
Big shows have showrunners and a stable of directors. No one director can direct 50+ episodes
Raymond Feist's Riftwar would be awesome. I don't think I'll live long enough to see Magician adapted for the screen.
Silverthorn and A Darkness at Sethanon would be awesome follow ups too, probably break the budget for the last book.
For every GoT how many Sense8 shows are out there? Throwing money into a project is just one part of a perfect storm they are attempting to re-create.I don't get the sarcasm in this thread. Sure, hits aren't guaranteed things, but I think Game of Thrones has proven monetary investment is a significant part of it.
I would absolutely love to see Amazon burn a small fortune offspring this beautiful clusterfuck of a series but I can't image it'd make the jump to mainstream viewership.Should make series of Malazan book of the fallen.
Not that it would get into GoT levels of hype, nothing will.
Came here to post this. Filming it like GOT would be impossible, though. It needs to be shot and stylized like an anime in warehouses, not out in the wild. The budget will spiral out of control quickly.
Kvothe chonicles. Same glacial writing pace as Martins and its unfinished. Obviously those are the key success criteria!
The people want Americanized Gantz.
Dune
Neuromancer
Do it!

Too bad Netflix signed up Witcher. I think if done right, Witcher has a huge potential.
But GoT didn't become what it is until The Red Wedding. That became a water cooler talking point for years and finally people started tuning in. Red Wedding happened near the end of Season 3. "Wait, all the main heroes died???"
Witcher, Dune and other sprawling fiction does not have this element either.
I would love Berserk, but the impracticality of the giant sword would be too hard to work out for a live action series.
Instead of bringing the show to the water cooler, lets bring the water cooler to the show!He brings up the water cooler expect.
GoT is a show that even outside of the big events, always has a ton of water color moments. They gotta find a series that has as many twists and turns as GoT if they want to capture the color water like GoT has.
For every GoT how many Sense8 shows are out there? Throwing money into a project is just one part of a perfect storm they are attempting to re-create.
