Respect the produced stories

I remember one comment made when Disney made Tarzan was that they did the best job of nearly any production in telling that story more true to the spirit of the original characters than most any other. Having read the first three Tarzan books, I understand what they are talking about. There are some aspects of the character that just do not translate well to a live actor doing him, especially in the formative parts of Tarzan's life. Then there are more imaginative and incredible aspects to the story that simply have not been done justice. And others that have been dropped due to 'modern sensibilities' and political correctness.
 

Back to Starship Troopers, and Heinlein's essays in it. How well would the story sell if it had multiple several minute scenes set in high school civics classes, and yet several of them show up through out the book.
Dune had extensive sections that happen entirely in the thoughts of the characters. How exciting to sit and watch a character think. Yet some actors can pull it off very well.

In short I want to have my own studio or be part of one that is not beholden to the traditional output constraints. It will respect the story creators ideas and do its best to present them in this medium.

How well could Stranger in a Strange Land be done? Or do The Bourne Identity in its original setting of the late seventies/early eighty's? Hyperion? The Dragon Riders of Pern? Childhoods End? Any of the other modern writers. Or any of the older pulp magazine shorts.
 

That is one thing I do want to do: take some of these older stories and reintroduce them to the current generations, and do all this in a manor that encourages and respects the original author, and is profitable for all.

As a divergent direction for this studio, I want a printing house attached to it, to print the hard back and softback versions of these and other books. This comes from a desire to be able to find books that are otherwise not in common circulation. Particularly books of historical significance.

I still have not found a copy of Cicero or Locke, though I have not looked lately.
