Excellent idea. Just PLEASE, GOD, let it be an American production with a cast from the UK. Another Neverwhere would make me cry.

Haven't read Jhereg, but Aspirin's myth series would be perfect for movies. Edgy characters, lots of effects, and since it's a comedic series, there would be places for the prettyboy Hollywood writers to add their cute little jokes without stealing the feel of the story too much.

As for myself, I hope I never see another movie made from a book again, really.
