- andrewflnr 4y agoOh, sure, I'm on board with Portia sp. too. But not widow spiders, absolutely not spiders that can kill me or make me wish they had.
- paranoidrobot 4y agoA ~4-5 foot tall Portia is going to make you wish you had. It's the one reason why I think those books are just never going to be adapted to TV/Film.
- stanac 4y agoquick google search leads to a page titled: "Sci-Fi Novel ‘Children of Time’ to Be Adapted by Colby Day for Lionsgate"
- paranoidrobot 4y agoWell, that's interesting. I honestly don't know how they're going to adapt it. A significant portion of the story is told from the perspective of the spiders. Just having giant spiders is going to make people freak out, let alone some of the scenes I remember from the book. That doesn't even include the second book, which has even more.
- stanac 4y agoI love Tchaikovsky and his (SF) books. They could use subtitles for communication between spiders. > Just having giant spiders is going to make people freak out This could be a real problem... maybe they can make them look cute, or something. Still not going to be helpful for people with arachnophobia.
- zabzonk 4y agoi find it amazing how many books the guy has written - and almost all of very high quality. seriously, if you are an sf fan, read them.
- toast0 4y agoAnnouncement of an adaptation doesn't mean it's actually going to be made, so there's that.
