Notes -
The vast majority of books that get optioned don't get made into movies, but I'd bet "author with two books that made hit movies and a third that has two super-popular director/producers interested in it" has better odds than most.
IMHO Artemis was pretty disappointing. The Martian is one of my favorite books and my kids loved it too, and Project Hail Mary is one of my kids' favorites and I loved it too, but with Artemis I felt like it wasn't deep or creative enough to work as a mature novel but it also wasn't kid-friendly enough to turn into a family movie. I'm still mostly glad I read it and very glad he wrote it - you don't know how art will come out until you try - but I hope that the newly-and-properly-recognized demand for More Weir Movies has enough patience to wait and see what he comes out with next.
