Kaor, Paul!
I like this suggestion. But I would argue first for filmed versions of the van Rijn and Flandry stories strictly and accurately based on the texts. Once a few of those had been done, then some experimentation with "extrapolations" of the kind you suggested here could be tried. Despite my "trepidation" over how faithful they would be to the Technic background.

I'll watch that!
Visual adaptations are always a crapshoot -- it's a different medium and requires modifications, which can be well done or dreadful mutilations.
Kaor, Mr. Stirling!
I agree, visual adaptations of literary works will always be a gamble. My view is that Peter Jackson failed with his filmed versions of THE LORD OF THE RINGS and THE HOBBIT. Esp. the truly ghastly HOBBIT movies.
But I hope some daring soul experiments with some Old Nick and Dominic Flandry movies!
