Ted Chiang's "Story of Your Life" was the basis for Denis Villeneuve's film "Arrival". The movie isn't a literal adaption of the short story, but IMHO it is very true to the original.
Since all of Chiang's stories are short stories or novellas, they've very approachable. You're not committing to a full novel, you can easily read these stories in a single sitting.
Ted Chiang is one of my favorite writers. I don't think I've read a single story of his that I didn't find interesting, and a lot of the ideas raise profound deeply engaging questions.
