Lois McMaster Bujold:
Has anyone important ever asked you about making a movie of "Shards of Honor"? It's one of my all-time favorites and seems quite cinematic.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Short answer is, no.
I actually think Shards would be much easier to make into a feature film (that resembled the book -- not that Hollywood cares about that) than The Warrior's Apprentice, which is the one people seem to focus on. (Although the latter might go well as a TV mini-series.) But movie rights are a buyer's market, and there are very few legit, actually-capable-of-making-a-film producers buying.
I also think Falling Free could make a splendid animation or anime. But, as I am not a film producer with access to hundreds of millions of dollars and a couple-three decades of experience in the industry, which is what it takes, it is not up to me.
