According to anitcool Dan Simmons’ tetralogy, Hyperion Cantos, is being brought to the big screen by Warner.
I first came across Dan Simmons’ work with the Ilium series, a fictional re-hash of Homer’s Iliad where (SPOILER) the gods are actually postmodern humans who have brought the Greeks and Trojans back to life for fun. I really enjoyed the two novels in this duology, so much so I went out looking for more Dan Simmons work. That’s when I came across the Hyperion Cantos, a four book series that is one ripper of a read.
Can’t wait to see the conversion of this to a movie, though I hope it gets to stay truer to the novel than the Peter Jackson/Tolkien efforts of recent years. That being said, Hyperion Cantos isn’t quite as ‘heavy’ as the LOTR books.
