All of Stephenson's books are crying out for TV or Movie adaptation! (hint: esp. Snowcrash & Zodiac!).

  Zodiac might make a better film, but actually I guess you can just transplant the protagonist into a variety of wacky adventures over a number of seasons. I think Snowcrash (like Cryptonomicon or Anathema) relies a bit too much on explanations for it to work on the screen. Diamond Age feels like it comes to too much of a conclusion, maybe it’s a mini series

    I think the right director(s) could make Snowcrash work -- e.g. the Wachowskis'. They did a really good job adapting V for Vendetta from the original Alan Moore and David Lloyd comics/stories.

      Reading Snow Crash and IMO it could be a fantastic series. However, I must say I would hate a poor adaptation much more than no adaptation at all. Hopefully in my lifetime someone takes it on and gets it right.
