I can't imagine looking at a Clarke novel and thinking, "this would make a great movie."
To be fair, the movie 2010 and the book 2010 have very little in common.
Aaron "The Mad Whitaker" Bourque; just like "Bicentennial Man" and "I, Robot." I fear if Asimov's Nightfall ever gets to the silver screen. It would have a lot that could go wrong.
