I agree, and I would also like to see something from the Shadow World rpg realm. I think movie technology has progressed to the point where a really cool adaptation could be done.

I'm thinking you meant Shadowrun (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadowrun ) and not Shadow World (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_World_(role_playing_gam... ). I'm not familiar with the latter, but the description of 'high-fantasy' suggests to me that you meant the former.

That said, the Shadowrun universe is certainly an interesting mashup of magic and technology, and the fact that it exists outside of a particular story or stories seems like it would lend itself to interpretation and exploration beyond that of an adaptation of a static tale.
