Sci-fi Masterpiece Theatre
Since the Lord of the Rings trilogy did so well as a serious movie epic, I've been wondering what classic sci-fi work might stand a chance of doing the same for its genre. Stranger in a Strange Land might be a good candidate, but it could easily go so horribly wrong. There's talk of making a movie based on Edgar Rice Burroughs' A Princess of Mars, but I don't see it being much more than a swords and cleavage flick. I would also like to see Asimov's The Foundation Trilogy as a film, but it might be better served as a project like Dune and Children of Dune on The Sci-Fi Channel.

Any thoughts?
