I agree this would be good . Especially with the racial undertones in this book. Another series with the “class uprising “ theme. I doubt they would do it justice though . So much backstory and inner monologue that has to be fleshed out on screen for character building. I have lost faith in these writers in Hollywood , especially with the recent Wheel of time adaptation and Disney Star Wars series .

The Hyperion cantos by Dan Simmons would be a crazy adaptation.
I remember years ago an article was written explaining why it could never be done justice in live action but I feel like we have the technology and means to do so now. Just look at movies like a Dune and Interstellar.
I know Bradley Cooper hadbbeen showing interest in adapting it for years but it just hasn't happened yet. And I'm a little iffy on him. It wouldn't even work as a movie. Not even a trilogy.
Would have to be a high budget television series. I can see Amazon or HBO or maybe Apple TV doing it. But Apple TVs content for some reason isn't as mainstream as the other two.

Behold The Unfilmable: Hyperion Cantos
The Hyperion Cantos is a fantastic work of Science Fiction, but it would be a disaster if it were made into a film.
