Quel livre de SF pourrait être adapté en série TV ?

Le site SF Signal a posé la question à des auteurs.
Parmi les réponses, Walter Jon Williams :
"I have often thought that a novel by Tim Powers would make an excellent film- the problem is deciding which one. The wonderful color and whimsy of Anubis Gates, with warring magicians battling in Regency London? Declare with its terrific scenes of a Cold War called into being by sinister djinn? Expiration Date, with its characters snorting up ghosts through straws?
Hollywood, as it happens, has already made its decision, buying On Stranger Tides to adapt into the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean film. But did they buy the book, or only the title?
And in any case, Powers' works deserve better than to be turned into sequels to someone else's work. I nominate Last Call, which features poker, card magic, Las Vegas history, the Fisher King, and Bugsy Siegel. Poker has never been more fashionable than now, and the climactic scene, with its giant villain towering over Hoover Dam, is tailor-made for a Hollywood CGI extravaganza.
I've been wanting to see this movie for years."
