I think it would be a TV (maxi-?) mini-series, and probably done by 
HBO.  

Imagine the whole 7 books as a mini-series along the lines of the 
combined _The Winds of War_ and _War and Remembrance_, or to a lesser 
extent _Centennial_.

What they REALLY should do is film Books I-III in immediate sequence 
without waiting to see how Movie I does in theaters, 'a la' what they 
are doing with _The Lord of the Rings_.  However, business caution 
will probably prevent this.

One of the peculiarities of Disney's _The Black Cauldron_ is that it 
films a middle book of a 5 book series without any others being 
produced!  At least we are avoiding that.
