I will never understand why Samuel R. Delaney isn't recognized as one of the leading voices in SF of the last century. Was reading Babel-17 on my flight and it doesn't just feel current, it feels like it fell through a wormhole from a distant future
he's not? Been seeing his name on "must read SF authors" lists since as long as I can remember. Maybe it's that he's never been optioned for film/TV?

Maybe he is and I'm just not running in the right circles. He's ripe for adaptation but I almost don't want to wish that fate on his work.
-
the dirty truth is he's still alive and hollywood finds that annoying to work around.
-
He would probably have strong opinions as well, which is another point against. Whatever they try to adapt first will be a huge leap of faith as well, since he definitely takes advantage of the limitless budget of print.
-
possibly the main point against. Alan Moore just completely disavowed all of his adaptations, severed creative and financial ties, which is why they happened at all I think. Some of them aren't half-bad!

The Justice League adaptation of "For The Man Who Has Everything" is great!
-
Also, with Legion's success this would be a great time to do Swamp Thing
-
again. there was a Swamp Thing show many years ago, and it was mostly crap. agree though, it's great source material and getting someone to finally do it justice would be amazing.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098919/ …
