So, HBO, flush from well-deserved success with their adaption of 'Game of Thrones' is looking at the difficult-sounding task of adapting Neil Gaiman's 'American Gods' into a six season series.
Showtime has it's epic series, of course, as you know from hearing any reviews.
It seems the movie/premium channels are getting awful ambitious, from 'Spartacus' to 'The Walking Dead' and more. Very ambitious. Curiously ambitious.
I want to speculate that they may be onto something, and that movie channels may be uniquely positioned to become The Big Adaptors. Their future may well be adapting works to films/television.
