Hey, zakkrusz is When They Cry in MANGA form? that actually sounds like a good series, or at least something I might be interested in.

Actually there's pretty much nothing that Hollywood wouldn't adapt because of extreme sex and violence in the source material. They'd simply tone the sex and violence down in the screen adaption. It's more thematic issues that would make them avoid certain adaptations altogether.
Not WATCHMEN!Any story that has a lot of non sexual nudity in it. If such a story were to get adapted they'd just take out the nudity and it'd be another generic action flick.
M-preg?
Guy-personality wakes up in girl-body (or vice versa) and instead of a bunch of cheap gags we get to actually explore sex, sexuality, personality, and gender, and how a different gender body (and thus brain) influences this.
I don't see that made anytime soon. Gets way too uncomfortable in American society with homosexuality and such.
Richard Morgan does it in his Takeshi Kovacs books, where bodies can be switched at will. He does it through the lense of hardcore action/noir, but the layers are there.
I highly doubt it, as bodies that can be switched at will would mean they don't spend much time in the body - and thus not much influence of the brain is to be had. Done properly it would be long term exploration.
Also, the original poster mentioned themes, possibly from books that wouldn't be used. Not stated explicitly, I can't see this other than used in a movie or tv series - after all, if it's already in books, it's already there, there's no point in asking if will not be put to paper when they're already on the paper.
Thus giving a book as an example of how it is done, is then besides the point. The book you mentioned, would be exactly the book that wouldn't be turned into a movie or tv show.

They''ve already gone there, twice. Once with Billy Crystal, which sucked, and once with Arnold "The Governator" Schwarzenegger , which was awesome beyond imagination.

Yes, that's a pregnant Arnold at a maternity retreat, crossdressing so that he doesn't have to explain that he's a pregnant man.
Yep, Transamerica did.How many serious films have been made about transsexuals? I know the Priscilla type of movies but has anyone treated the topic seriously?
can you see any "theme" or "TOPIC matter" from a scifi book, or whatever, that would absolutely never get made because it would be far too controversal? Or, has our society matured (yeah right) far enough where any topic can be made into a movie with out causing social strife???

Gunslinger Girl- An Italian government agency "saves" terminally ill or injured little girls on the verge of death and gives them second life as brainwashed cyborg assassins who do the government's dirty work.

Dollhouse, anyone?
Kinda. I actually thought that Priscilla treated its transsexual character with more dignity than Transamerica did, despite the fact that Priscilla was a comedy.Yep, Transamerica did.How many serious films have been made about transsexuals?

So far I've seen two series on your list, Hell Girl (BRILLIANT work I thought) and Gunslinger Girl which I thought was a Sad yet slightly disturbing work. Now I have to be honost I NEVER thought that WATCHMEN would ever be made just because of the content alone, but I was proven wrong. Now if there is ONE series from comic books that I just don't see being made is ALAN MOORE & NIEL GAIMANS MIRACLEMAN. It is rather ''tame'' in the first 8 issue's, but the further the sereis went it became a very mature, sexual & ULTRA-VIOLENT series by the time MOORE left off, and allowed Gaimen to finish the as of yet incomplete series! I don't see Holyweird ever turning this book in too a movie anytime soon( legal issue's aside)
