I see Shogun has been ordered by Hulu. I'm a big fan of James Clavell books and the '80s miniseries of Shogun and Noble House were pretty well done, too. I have high hopes that, if this Shogun remake is successful, they'll adapt more Clavell novels. I'd sure like to see Noble House take place in 1963 as in the novel instead of the 1980's, as the miniseries did. Whirlwind might be a difficult adaptation as it concerns the Iranian Revolution and isn't sympathetic at all to the Islamic radical point of view.
Clavell often had to retcon in order to tie his historical novels together, as they were written out of chronological order. A series of TV adaptations could fix that and tie them all together more tightly.
Any other Clavell fans out there?
