Well the thought I had was an animation, rather than a live action. And I don't mean a Gollum-type affair, just an amazingly colourful 2D animation, like Ullysses 31! Imagine the cartoon you could create! Based on the labels and cover art, you could see an underwater world, an ancient race with advanced knowledge, and advanced music of course! They have contacts above ground but stay underwater, only surfacing for various missions. For segues and transitions, you could have the coolest edits of Drexciya tracks, and little 1-2 second excerpts for links!
Either that or making a Drexciya video game, or a feature length about the plight of the Drexciyans. It's such cool mythology, they must have been approached to do something with it - anyone more in the know on this?

I read somewhere that when Parliament made the "Motor Booty Affair" album, the original plan was that it would be a soundtrack to a film Clinton was hoping to make that was based on the concept of an undersea party - I always thought that if that had been made (it never actually materialised) it would be a pretty Drexciyan sort of video. As it stands the most appropriate visual accompaniment to Drexciya's music that I've come across is that movie "Atlantis" by Luc Besson (although with the sound turned off, of course)... Another good Drexciya-style image is the cover of "Techno City" by EVIAN on Techno Kut - I can't find it online, but it has a couple of line-drawn starfish and squids hanging around holding SH-101s (with the extension thingy you use to be able to play it like a guitar) and TR-808s in front of an aquatic backdrop of seaweed and corals. The music is really nice on that release as well; seriously proto-Drexciyan sound and visuals from 1988!
