Terry Gilliam almost got to make a movie out of this back in the 90's, but in his infinite wisdom he decided the source material was too large to cram into a single film and would be better suited as a TV miniseries. They should have let him make it. They also should have let him make the first Harry Potter film, but that's another story in the long list of stories that end in Terry Gilliam getting shafted.
But I guess I should see this at some point since every post about it mentions a giant blue dong, which is awesomer than most giant blue dongs considering this film's target market is young teenage boys who don't like dongs and haven't read the novel.
