Author Topic: Ringworld movie or TV series? (Read 2096 times)

Hi,

I saw that you folks have discussed this in the past and I have looked around different places from time to time over the past 10 years or so and sometimes it looks like it will be out "next year" or something like that. But afaik there still isn't anything about it available. Does anyone know if there actually is, or will be, or where to find out for sure???

Thanks for any help with this!

David

I don't know what the current plans, if any, are, but the setting is so compelling that I think someday someone will make a fantastic movie or TV show based on Ringworld.

In development at Amazon, last updated about two years ago, discussed here: https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=43868.0

I hate to be pessimistic, but the chance of a series being made that would make fans of the book happy seem infinitesimal to me.

Amazon is currently developing a Ringworld series for its streaming service[1], so it will probably be a while before we see someone else make a feature film based on the Larry Niven science fiction books series. But “ever” is an extremely long time, so maybe one day there will be one or more Ringworld movies.

If Amazon continues to do right by The Expanse, I can only hope they can do similar with Ringworld.
