You like Red Rising? Nice, I've heard of it, but I'm not super familiar. There are what, six books in the series? Have you read them all and what draws you to it specifically?
There are 6 total. I'm only half way through book 2. It's a rebellion story. I love the idea of the little guy taking a stand and making it to the top. Do you read scoi-fi?
Who doesn't love a good rebellion story - Star Wars anyone. But when you think of dystopian futures, including the one we're living in (ha!), it makes sense that some twisted regime rose to power and a rebellion is required. I haven't picked up a book in a few years, thought I have a stack that I bought and haven't read yet. Sci-fi is one of my top genres, but have mostly been watching TV. Just started the Expanse (and Prime), which is shaping pretty good...Firefly by that prick Joss Whedon is my fav sci-fi of all time...what's your fav sci fi ever?
Aside from Red Rising, probably Dune. Frank Herebert was a tortured genius. It's a shame he didn't finish the series. 
I have a healthy respect for Dune...I sincerely hope the remake coming out will be good...and that they stay true to the 1984 original..the sets, costumes and cinematography were great for the time, and it felt like a huge departure from the usual fair...but, politics are always the main course, which I'm not averse to...
There's is an awesome documentary about an unmade Dune movie. The director was Alejandro Jodorowsky and seeing all of his ideas for it makes me wish it had happened. They should've made a series out of the older movie. There was a Dune show on Sy-Fy that was pretty awesome but it's impossible to find now.
I have never heard of that, but it sounds stellar. Apparently, it's part thoughtful tribute and bittersweet reminder that Hollywood missed a huge opportunity possibly...SyFy is so odd, they've had some questionable choices in the last 2 decades. Well, Dune fever is ramping up again, so I have no doubt, we'll see more media developed for the classic.
I wonder if somebody will ever re-make Firefly.
As one of the ALL TIME GREATEST SCI-FI series ever, I would say...probably not. Pardon me while I nerd a bit...but Firefly was amazing solely for the cast, the beautiful and poetic space western backdrop, and their chemistry together. It was the beloved cast, and old Captain Tight Pants, Hal, that really made the series shine. The humor, writing, and balance of drama was just...*chef's kiss*...but no one wants that now, especially since Whedon has been shaping up to be a damned creep. Firefly, although I'd LOVE to see the old cast pickup, time has slipped away...and the show is best left immortalized in the early 2000s.
So they might try, but they would probably fail. Did you have a foavorite sci-fi- bookseries?>
Yeah, probably...favorite books series...yeah...THE DARK TOWER. And I'm not much of a King fan, though I respect the guy...but DARK TOWER...the book was just immersive and mystical. The movie? I love Idres Alba, but ouch...what a let down.
I never saw the movie though I did hear it wasn't great. I need to get around to reading it someday
