Matthew Reilly has optioned the rights of several of his novels to different movie corporations in order to allow them to be adapted into either films or television series.
As of mid 2020, no film or television adaptions have been officially announced as having entered the production stage.
Novels Currently set for Adaptation
Hover Car Racer
The rights to produce a film adaption of Hover Car Racer currently belong to Disney. On January 11, 2012, it was reported that plans to make the film were going ahead, with the film to instead be titled Hovercar. The script is being worked on by Superman Returns writer Dan Harris.
Scarecrow Series
After completing the first draft of The Five Greatest Warriors, Matthew Reilly was approached by a Hollywood producer to adapt Scarecrow into a screenplay. It was to be the first in a series of Shane Schofield movies, which Matthew Reilly said was okay with him, "but structurally it means introducing characters like Scarecrow and Mother and Book and Fox within the framework of the story in Scarecrow, as opposed to (the prequel) Ice Station."
In the interview at the end of The Three Secret Cities (released 30th October 2018) Reilly noted that there had been discussions to adapt the Scarecrow novels in a TV limited-series.
The Great Zoo of China
On January 28th 2016, Reilly tweeted that the movie rights to The Great Zoo of China had been optioned by TriStar Pictures.
