Why has no one said George R. R. Martin's 'Song of Ice & Fire'? It's a little too violent in places, but other than that it's a smooth enough transition. A few backplots could be written out without offending many fans, and I think each book would fit into 3 hours with careful pacing. The books really do have a lot of great dramatic twists and turns which lend themselves to screenplays, I think.
Of course the series isn't finished...
