There was a BBC mini-series, oh, over 20 years ago.

It wasn’t half-bad if I recall correctly. It was true to the book.

I don’t see the box-office potential for this as a 2-hour movie, if done as per the book. The romance is pretty perfunctory, there are no real thrills or action or spectacle. It is a fairly humorous novel about ideas, not good material for money-making. I would compare to Mike Judge’s “Idiocracy”.

"It is a fairly humorous novel about ideas, not good material for money-making."

Plenty of room for a good, leftist, Hollywood, screen writer, eh?
