I'm actually glad they don't really adapt books as much anymore. Their track record on adaptation in recent years have been such that they'll probably just ignore preestablished lore in favor of whatever bullshit they think will sell more a lá Halo.
They've done that a lot, with nearly every series I can think of. But I'd rather them at least attempt to adapt something than say "we can't execute the source content exactly so we won't try"
Maybe if they didn't try, we'd end up with fewer abominations like Star Wars Disney Canon. Lol.
I kid, kid... ... ...mostly.
