Dan Simmons’ Hyperion - the movie

Posted by Ed on 5 April 2008

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros have secured the rights for a movie adaptation of Dan Simmons’ first two Hyperion Cantos novels. Considering the depth of the narrative and complex structure of these two modern classics of SF literature it’s going to be a major challenge to do them justice in the running time of one movie. Trevor Sands reckons he can do it, good luck to him. I’ll reserve judgement until I’ve seen it, but it’ll need to be at least 4 hours long.
