>Seth is a surveyor, along with his friend Theo, a leech-like creature running through his skull who tells Seth what lies to his left and right. Theo, in turn, relies on Seth for mobility, and for ordinary vision looking forwards and backwards. Like everyone else in their world, they are symbionts, depending on each other to survive.

>in the universe containing Seth's world, light cannot travel in all directions: there is a "dark cone” to the north and south. Seth can only face to the east (or the west, if he tips his head backwards). If he starts to turn to the north or south, his body stretches out across the landscape, and to rotate as far as north-north-east is every bit as impossible as accelerating to the speed of light.

Sounds quite a lot like "Inverted World", which I think is filmable. Nolan could do it, he's already adapted a Christopher Priest book (The Prestige)

>shots have to be aligned along the east/west
>any shots going north/south have to be in some sort of black and white sonar vision
>cameras can't rotate left or right without distorting the view
>the design of the walkers would look probably be absolutely terrifying
