The only director I'd let anywhere near the Culture series (or broader far-future sci-fi in general) is Neill Blomkamp. That dude just _knows_ how to do it, better than anyone else, aliens, robots, everything. And Sharlto Copley would be quite welcome as well in the main roles. His Agent Krueger in Elysium should demonstrate what I'm talking about.
