Old Man's War by John Scalzi was made for this, I swear. His latest books also read a lot like movie scripts are contained therein.

Charles Stross' Laundry series has a ton of potential too, if less Chtullu is required, I wouldn't mind a Merchant Princes series either.

I heard rumours about Forever War being optioned at some point, but nothing came of it.

I vote for laundry series too

I had thought that some Hollywood people were talking to Scalzi about Old man’s war, but nothing ever came of it. Sad.
