If they do make a movie, it would be all but impossible to do it based on the civilizations being etched out. I think they should base it on the Unity pre-Chiron. They should shoot it from the point of view of each leader, and then have their world's cross during the Unity's trip. In essence, there will be two halves of the movie. Make one part where we get to meet the leaders, and the other part should be when they awaken to find the Unity in chaos. It would be anti-climatic since there would be no shot post Chiron landing, but it's a thinking man's game so I guess the fanbase will be small :D.
As for the cast, I really don't care who will be playing the parts since they are all simple characters, simple as in they are over-the-top and based on a single ideology, so big time actors won't be needed. Considering that, though, I still have a few thoughts as to who can play some of the leaders:
C.E.O. Morgan: Djimon Hounsou
Brother Lal: Alexander Siddig
Zakharov: Russell Crowe
Yang: Chow Yun Fat
Miriam: Tilda Swinton
Maybe the storyline is too big for a movie. I would be more enthusiastic if they made it into a television series. With how good budgeting T.V. series get today, I believe they could make an awesome series.
