I know quite a few of Steven King's short stories have made it to film. And they have turned out to be far from average films. A couple that come to mind quickly are Shawshank Redemption, and Stand By Me. Both were short stories at very short length (considering the stories they told).
Many of the old Twilight Zone shorts were also based on similar stories, and I believe also by similar authors. All fairly accomplished and known. So I guess theoretically I would understand why we may start seeing more of those type shows/stories, coming to the big screen.
