As for Z, I think a movie with a series of vignettes would totally work. See the biographer walk into the room and just start the interview and fade into the scene... Of course, Z may not work due to the length. Maybe a Prime series?
You need a character to complete a full story arc, which is hard with serials. I think it's the main reason why there has never been a very true-to-form adaptation of Dracula.
Prime series? Absolutely. That'd be fun as hell.
AFAIK. The White Company has never been made into a movie or a mini-series. Or, it's prequel, which gives one a pretty big story arc, and a case where a major character fades into a lesser role.
I think you're right. Not that it's impossible, but for movies it's a lot more important to give viewers a central character to latch on to. For streaming TV, you can have several, but that's hard for stand-alone video.
