I heard a couple of years ago that Diana's original The Outlander was purchased for the movie rites. I've not heard anything more about it.

I found this question in the FAQ section of her official site:

"Will there be any movies based on the book?

I don't know about the film rights. Meaning--we had sold an option--to the production company who did The Stand, and who wanted to do a TV mini-series--but their option has expired. They've expressed interest in renewing it, but we now also have a couple of other interested parties, with various suggestions--feature film, BBC-sponsored series, etc. So at the moment, nothing is settled, but stay tuned for further Interesting Developments.

Do bear in mind, though, that authors never have anything to say about who's cast in movies based on their books."

i think of that it truly relies upon on the particular e book/action picture. case in point, i actually like Lord of the rings video clips and the books, mutually as i think of that the Harry Potter books are slightly extra effective than the flicks, exceptionally the extra recent ones (do not permit me start up approximately how the final director BUTCHERED the Order of the Phoenix!). i haven't truly study many of the different books-to-video clips that my friends have very stable evaluations of, yet from speaking to others i've got got here across that it relies upon lots on which you're uncovered to first. i for my section think of that i'd like the Narnia video clips extra effective than the books if I ever study them, yet I easily have friends who hate how distinctive the flicks are from the books. some variations to the books are permissible interior the flicks, as a results of fact that is mandatory to make a marginally short action picture, yet variations on the order of those interior the final HP action picture are, to me, unforgivable. The variations interior the LotR video clips have been completed in the form of way that they weren't truly substantive except you had memorized the books, with in elementary terms a pair exceptions, and that i think of that the variations interior the e book scripts added to those video clips particularly than detracting from them. For a particular occasion from those video clips, the hot Warg scene in the two Towers improved the non-public relationships between the characters and added a stable action scene interior the midst of what would in any different case have been a marginally sluggish-paced component of the action picture.

haven't heard a thing, but there is a graphic novel in the works, scripted by Herself (& presumably she has a little more control over how the characters look).
Go to the Ladies of Lallybroch site, books board, then the excerpts page for more info (they'll bounce you to the Compuserve page)
