Kino that can never be adapted

>>212689822 (OP)
Why can't it be adapted?

>>212689896
Rapes a negress to insanity

>>212689896
because its unadaptable

>>212690404
But why

>>212690722
Can’t go into space to film it

>>212690766
Why not?

>>212689822 (OP)
>>212690381
What a shame. I would have loved a Berserk adaptation with Zendaya as Casca but it's impossible for the same reason

>>212690793
The only guy who knows how is an unstable moron

>>212691245
Can't adapt it because it's not finished

>>212691245
I hope they never touch any of gene wolfes stuff.

>>212691496
They'd just ruin it anyways- reading Book of the New Sun for the first time, and I'm glad a movie has not and likely never will be made.

>>212690381
>>212690848
Evil Hu-whiite men raping innocent women of color is a time honored Pedowood trope lmao

>>212690897
but kubrick is dead? or has he gone incognito like walt disney and hitler?

>>212689822 (OP)
Tristram Shandy is genuinely impossible to adapt to a different medium, the entire structure depends on it being a stream of consciousness novel. It'd have to be like 90% framing devices and narration if they even tried, it'd just be a glorified audio book.

>>212691527
They will try.

>>212690722
It's not unadaptable but it's got some pretty difficult shit in it. Could go two ways with it. A prestige streaming show that gets into the themes and world building properly. Or a high concept action B movie in which teleportation is explained with a voiceover at the start and we just watch Gully beat the shit out of a series of super powered villains (radiation man, etc) with his sledgehammer

>>212691639
Jumper and nightcrawler in xmen already proved that teleportation can be done and the audience can understand.

>>212691383
How the fuck did sidon end again, him bumming around the nile shore?

>>212691589
Let's hope not. I can't imagine how mundane and banal they would make it.

>>212691245
For me it's Jack Vance's

Eyes of the Overworld

>>212691839
Every gene wolfe novel has
>cannibalism
>ghosts
>talking animals
>incest
>time travel
>rape
>magic or powerful weapons
>robots
They would cut all that out.

>>212689822 (OP)
The irony being that you posted a picture of Howard Chaykin's comic book adaptation of the original novel

>>212692080
>basically what any other sci-fi / fantasy book has

>>212691496
I don't know something like The Devil in a Forest seems simple enough that they might not fuck it up

>>212692071
I'll have to add this to my list. Been wanting to read Vance for a while.

>>212692257
Wrong, i had plenty of sci-fi and fantasy. Also i remember that list being twice as long.

It's unadaptable because of the unreliable narrator trope not because it's le goofy far far far future where science is magic / cannibalism or other bullshit

>>212692261
Some of his short stories might work. I remember that somebody worked on the death of doctor island a few years ago, no idea where that went.

>>212692337
Read Dying Earth/ Cugel's Saga

it's basically TBotNS but if Severian was a rougue not a fighter

>>212692531
I thought Severian was a torturer.

>>212692706
he was an executioner with a sword

>>212692706
He becomes a mercenary later on.

>>212692749
That's a really nice picture. I need to find more BotNS art.
>>212692754
I'm just about at the end of CotC. Reading the books then listening to the audiobook reading by Roy Avers to help me soak it in. It's funny OP made this thread because I've often thought how, if executed correctly, a movie could be amazing- but realistically it's impossible. It would be an even more soulless butchery of the source material than DUNC

>>212692849
Yes, the book wouldn't work on the screen at all besides the base story. I read it three times at this point.

>>212692849
>I need to find more BotNS art
I'm actually trying to draw some

>>212692931

>>212692931
>>212693049
If those are yours, Bravo! How do I learn the visual arts?

>>212693049
Damn, that's really good! Did you do that? Severian with Terminus-Est, Agia with Agilus isn't it?

>>212693129
good morning saar
>>212693133
yes, also artist is eric he

Nuh it's not mine

just found something on the net

>>212693187

>>212693186
I am Indian? How so? What is signaling such a conclusion?

I'm too lazy to finish my own piece

>>212690793
It was very high concept. Absolutely everyone can teleport at will. The main character is on a murder rampage. At one point he rapes a psychic lady im pretty sure. Something tells me they wont be filming this one.

>>212693187
Severian, Baldanderes, Dr. Talos and Dorcas- I think. Baldanders looking like Andre the Giant

>>212693202
The Odalisque of Abaia... just read that chapter. One of the best yet imo.

Also i didn't read the Long Sun

is it worth it?

>>212693228
The sword and everything else is wrong.

>>212693268
Yes, somewhat, expands the world and lore. Got a different pace to it.

There are illustrations for BotNS called Folio Society edition i think

they have the most recent art

>>212689822 (OP)
The War Against the Chtorr is utterly unadaptable, because it would piss off everyone

The Pringles inventor sure is creative. That us a good goal for an intelligent person to have, make one profitable invention and spend the rest of your life being artistic.

>>212690381
They'd drop that part but it isn't a huge plot point. It's the synesthesia stuff that would be almost impossible to pull off.

>>212694710
There was a post about the matrix in some 4d theater. It had a bowl structure.

>>212691579
>Tristram Shandy
Didn't think I'd be seeing this mentioned on /tv/, kek. There's also lots of good threads here today. The board is healing. What happened, was India finally rangebanned?

>>212689822 (OP)

>>212689822 (OP)
it can very easily be adapted
there was a good count of monte christo just recently

>>212695132
Danny davito could voice the shrike

>zero dialogue
>99% of the story takes place in pitch black darkness
it'll never happen but i can dream

>>212695132

>>212690381
It’s pretty minor part of the book. They would easily cut it out

>>212689822 (OP)
No actor could pull it off
