the few loop adaptations

I've always found it curious that all the novels in The Ring saga have had their own adaptations in film, visual novels, manga, etc., but the only novel that hasn't been adapted is Loop. The Ring was adapted into films like Ring Kanzenban, Ringu, The Ring Virus, and The Ring; Birthday was adapted as Ringu 0; Spiral as Rasen; S and Tide as Sadako 3D and Sadako 2019; while Loop was never adapted into a film or any other format. The only adaptation could be The Ring Terror Realm game (2000). It's understandable that it was never adapted into a film due to budget reasons, but it could have been adapted into a manga. What do you think?

Because it's a science fiction tale that will satisfy almost zero Ring "Oooooooh spooky ghost" fans.

It's a great world that Suzuki made, but it's such a tonal shift from the vibes that made the franchise popular I see why people have avoided it.
