If I were going to make screen adaptation of #NinePrincesInAmber, I'd do it with all the main characters representing different movie tropes, all conflicting in their own unique ways:
* Corwin and Deirdre - Noir thriller.
* Eric - Game of Thrones type consipiracy.
* Benedict and perhaps Caine - War movie.
* Gerard - Conan the Barbarian fantasy.
* Bleys and Fiona - Errol Flynn adventure.

WHY has no NPIA movie/tv been made???
