Not as far as I can tell. Tri-star apparently had the rights to the Hoka series and were going to develop a movie based on that, but a change in managment saw it fall thorugh.
Most of the Childe Cycle book are good, Tactics of Mistake, Dosai!, Soldier ask not and The Final Encyelopidea but there are some problems with some of the others Necromancer for instance.

The Dorsai are a "Race" of Ultra Elite Mercenaries in a series of books collectively know as the Childe Cycle. The premise is that after ftl travel is perfected humanity fragments into specilized races: The Dorsai are fighters, The Exotics are Phillosphers and Thinkers and the Friendlies are Evanaglists. They then have children, called Others, who show some of skills of both parents. The story eventually become one based on the difference between the phillophies of the Others and the Hero Donald Graeme/Hal Mayne over the proper destiny of Humans, Grow spirtual or return to Earth.

I agree. I wasn't fond of that book nor the Amanda short stories. But I felt that, especially "Dorsai!" would have made for a great character development/sci-fi movie. But with typical Stu(DIO)pidity, they probably let Verhoevan ruin it just like he did "Starship Troopers". I really wanted to see the suits!
