Bradley Cooper and Graham King are producing a Hyperion series (not kidding) http://screenrant.com/hyperion-tv-series-syfy/
Who would you cast in this?
The Consul
bump u fags
Oded Fehr as Fedman Kassad
>>63053749
oh shit that'd be good actually
>>63053796
Fiennes would be pretty good as The Consul too, although I can't imagine SyFy having the budget to cast name actors and create the worlds properly.
>>63053915
they couldn't afford people like Fiennes to be sure, the sets are gonna be tricky too but some recent shows have pulled off some pretty good effects with their budgets. Hopefully they do it right.
>>63054036
Silenus?
>>63054036
nice choice, can't unseen it
>>63054052
>>63054318
holy shit he's exactly how I imagined him
would this work as a mini-series or multiple movies?
The Wandering Jew
How would you cast Brawne Lamia? Stocky, "might well be considered beautiful"?
>>63054900
I can see it
>>63053408
I have ascended beyond fully erect, into a priaprismic nirvana. You have my undivided attention. I think Nathan Fillion would be an okay and affordable Consul for syfy.
Fucking syfy the bar is set so low.
>>63053408
I read this shit in high school and made no sense
>>63053408
>syfy
Prepared to find it butchered beyond belief.
>syfy
All hope is lost, gents. I was hyped for years about this shit, but it seems like none of the big studios wanted to pick it up. I'm fully prepared for something unwatchable that is going to turn said big studios off adaptations of great science fiction books for a long time to come.
RIP dreams of ever seeing Miles Vorkossigan, Sten or Takeshi Kovacs on the screen.

> Shrike is a giant robot composed of razor-sharp blades
> artist draws a man-shape and randomly adds spikes to it
I expect the TV series to be just as good as this picture.
fucking /tv/
bump
/film/ when
>Hyperion
>not developing a trilogy of films based on his infinitely-superior novel Carrion Comfort
Sure is pleb as fuck around these parts.
>syfy
hold on let me get a list of c-list actors
>>63053408
Matt Berry as Martin Silenus please.
Viggo Mortensen as Consul
Joe Pantoliano as Silenus
Richard Schiff as Sol
Oded Fehr as Kassad
Michelle Rodriguez as Lamia
Thank jesus finally, please let it be good.

But what if we get something like this.
Wouldn't it be better for Hyperion to be seven or eight different movies rather than one? The tone drastically changes throughout the novel depending on who is telling their story and I just don't see it doing well under one director.
>>63053408
I though there was a Palestinian guy banging a Jewish chick in this book.
Will the chosen people really greenlight such a project?
>>63059471
probably
the best way of doing hyperion imo is in animated form done by seven different animation studios
each story told by a different animation studio and the overarching story told by another animation studio
In fact you could just do Sol's story live action since it doesn't require that much CGI
that way you won't spoil the twist I guess
>>63059413
>let it be good
>Syfy show
Heh
>>63059501
Kassad will be blackwashed
>>63059504
Yup, agreed
>>63059504
So Hyperion by Sunrise when?
I can't wait for that scene when Silenus encounters the Shrike in the courtyard when it comes for Sad King Billy. Or maybe it was when it came for him, can't remember clearly. Either way, shit was fucking chilling. Knowing it's Syfy I don't have high hopes though.
>>63055318
Who will we cast as the robot with the big nose who fucks her?
>no The Terror movie
>>63054036
Lmao
who here ousters?
>>63060322
Kinda has that "loser poet" look.
>>63053408
What a tragically bad idea, doomed to fail.
yeah, I was hyped when it was announced 5 years ago too. Wake me up when it really happens.
