Your choice whether you are writing the screenplay, directing, ... or hiring someone for these things. Also assume permission from the original work's author(s), of course.

A movie for Hyperion would work, but Endymion is perfectly built for a TV series.

Wait, not the other way round? One tale per 70-min episode?

(With the priest's tale getting an initial 1.5hrs opening episode? 👀)
