I've read all four books, but I barely remember 2061 and absolutely loathed 3001. So I don't particularly care if they ever get made or not.

What did you hate about it?

You know, I don't remember exactly what it was that made me hate it so much. I do remember that it felt far less grounded in reality than its predecessors. I think part of it was the depiction of the monoliths, and the sheer ridiculousness of the world (didn't Clarke write in a velociraptor as a butler or something like that at one point?) that put me off. That and the idea that you can revive a person that had been exposed to the vacuum of space for a millenium.

I was okay with the whole revival of Frank thing, but yeah, the Velociraptor was going a little too far.

If I were to make 3001 into a movie, I would probably leave that part out.
