I'm thinking that it'll take the radio serial format
and give the visuals that you always wanted to see but had
to imagine from old time radio drama/comuic books. It's
another comic vook/graphic novel-based premise.
But I still don't know what happened to high quality
space opera... s-f adventure with a point from major
writers. The technology is all there but the ideas are
pretty shallow. I've always wanted to see an adaptation
of Miven and Pournelle's Ringworld. It's a big idea and
deals with some interesting concepts.
Also more William Gibson, please. I thought that Matrix
would open the door for Neuromancer. And Johnny Mnemonic
was a lot better a second time than at first glance.
Other interesting idea that's floating about is Steam Punk.
Steam Punk is cyberpunk set in the Victorian era... the
time of airships and Babbage's Difference Engine. It's
a form of alternate history and timeline diversion.
The tools are there to do all these things.
