After the Narnia franchise, I am wary about asking for another CS Lewis novel to be made into a movie, some books just don't make the transition well. To the best of my knowledge nothing has been done with Out of the Silent Planet, would it work converted into film? I always thought the beginning of Flash Gordon owed a little to CS Lewis, its not impossible Queen were fans of CS Lewis. When they take off in Hans Zarkov's rocket. There the similiarity ends!
But if it was done right, and I mean right, like independently, not hollywood - it might be interesting, plenty of tension and excitement at the end when they try to get back to Earth before the spaceship 'unbodies' and the earth goes out of alignment.
I can hear them travelling through space to strains of Jean Michel Jarre's Oxygen -has that otherworldly sense about it.
Anyone like the idea. Thread is just for chit chat about how you'd like to see it done?
