At home, I have a link to a website that is maintained by...or at least involves Larry Niven. The movie "Ringworld" was about to go into production last year when something happened and the whole thing was kyboshed. Probably a money thing.
That's the bad news. Here's the good news.
The Sci-Fi Channel announced that they will be airing a Ringworld Mini-Series:
RINGWORLD: Based on Larry Niven's RINGWORLD series of novels, a four-hour mini-series is in development. In the future four explorers crash on an artificial structure in deep space, a mammoth ring that circles a distant star. Exploring this strange place, the humans discover that there is life here and secrets that could change the universe forever.
Pardon me while I go into the corner to drool. I can't wait. I hope it's better than the treatment they gave "Dune".
Hmm, I hope its good. But if any book needed the blockbuster production budget, that would be it.
