LOL no, a Perelandra movie would not be advisable.

Not advisable, maybe. But great to see, definitely!

You could probably get around the nudity issue (always assuming you could find someone to make the movie who would do it without exploiting that angle) much more easily, I think, than you would be able to deal with the fact that there is very little visible action in "Perelandra." Most of the conflict is within the characters even though there is a great physical battle. It is the sort of story that is very moving to read but would most likely fall flat when you tried to translate it to a purely visual format where the inner struggles cannot be portrayed. I suspect that a movie would focus on the physical and exclude the inner struggle which would completely lose the intent of the book.

"Out of the Silent Planet" and "Perelandria" might be hard to make, but "That Hideous Strength" could be a great movie if done right, and kept true to the Book.

Personally, I'm a stickler for literary accuracy, but it would be interesting to give all of the books a modern-era treatment. It would especially work for THS.

I don't think any of the books would really work as films.

BBC style mini-series.. yes. They could probably be done.

A film would by definition either entail the film being longer than usual, or having stuff cut out.

In my mind I can equate THS with carre's Tinker Tailor... Action is minimal, and most of the story concerns conversations and interpretations of events. It works as the 6 part BBC series (to an excellent degree), but a film would loose the.. subtelty.

Justy the opinion of a late night befuddled brain

I wouldn't. I think a combination of CGI and animatronics would go down really well. Look at Jurassic Park. It's from the early 90's and the dinosaurs in that one look more realistic than most purely CGI creations these days.

For some reason (maybe because it is Monday morning and my brain hasn't fully kicked in yet?) it just occurred to me that "Perelandria" at least (and quite possibly all three in series) might work as Broadway musical type stage performances. The surreal and beautiful aspects could be accentuated and the nudity would no longer be an issue.
