Hi,
Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy would be a hoot as a movie. Beggars in Spain would be difficult, but it's something I'd at least think about. There is a book in the Alien series (same Alien as in the movies of the same name) where Aliens get to Earth and breed by the million. You might say it's not one of humanity's better monents.
The War World series, done right, would be terrific. But it would be very hard to pull off. The bad guys were originally human, but have been breed and genetically engineered to the point where they are almost a new species. They are much, MUCH faster and stronger than humans. Not sure how a a war of attrition spanning generations would play. Riverworld is an artifical 'planet that is shaped like a car tire about a million miles around. It spins, creating 'gravity' for people inside the tire. There is another one about a ship that is several miles long, was found by humans, carries some really nasty secrets that do not show up for the first thousand years. There are amny good stories in scifi, what is missing is good production companies capable of doing them justice when they bring them to the screen. Oh yes, I wouldn't want to forget the Mars trilogy...Red Mars/Green Mars/Blue Mars. In that series we finally start terraforming Mars, and turning into a place humans can live in and thrive.
