[QUOTE="Kannik, post: 9599944, member: 984"] BattleTech has a lot that could be mined and brought to the screen. It's perhaps not the best-known property, but at the same time it both has proven longevity as well as a ream of lore + novels written for it. And it's got a good mix of 'mech action + politics + personal arcs and dramas. One of the classic trilogies could work as a three-movie thing, or perhaps even better done as a three-season series. Could also have a separate series of short stories (either single episode or a short arc). Start with 3025 level things, cover the Inner Sphere with series in from each of the great houses' perspective, set the tone. Have a prequel series with the Star League. Then move to 3050, the Kerensky trilogy, leading to the ongoing books (Clan infighting, FedCom civil war, BULLDOG, etc) as well as opening up new venues for both series and short stories in the other Clans (plus continued stuff in the IS). I'd love to see a great live action Macross as well. Also something with some longevity, though not sure it has quite the same multi-series / breadth potential as BattleTech. [/QUOTE]
