You know Raskolnikov is supposed to be good looking, right? Also, Sonya is a pure slut, not just a slut, so I don't see Sasha Grey working for the role either.

But Paul Dano is a good looking guy, he has the classic good looks, the sort you don't often see these days.

And Sasha Grey is a pure slut like Sonya. She was forced into porn by her abusive CIA agent boyfriend like Sonya was forced into prostitution by her bad circumstances.

>>9029809

> a pure slut like Sonya

This is totally stupid. Sonya actually has a heart of gold but was forced into prostitution by her dad being a total jerk. Sasha Grey is just an actual slut. She could have chosen to do "cleaner" porn or retired earlier but she kept doing it because she liked the money.

Also it doesn't make sense to cast someone on the basis that their life circumstances are similar to the character. You cast someone who can act like the character convincingly. Sasha Grey can't act except in the sense of looking like she enjoys drinking piss.

Richard Linklater directing Infinite Jest. I feel like he's got non-episodic storytelling down

could George Miller do Blood Meridian?

>>9034276
>George Miller
Maybe, but likely not. If he's got a slow side I haven't seen it.

I'd say Cary Fukunaga would be a great fit. He's got a great knack for using the film/television medium to elevate the source material rather than forcing that material to fit the conventions of cinema. There are some faint parallels with Blood Meridian and Beasts of No Nation.

He would be a bad director for Moby Dick, just like his adaptation of The revenant he would just make his own thing.

argh normally i don't like imagining my favourite novels in film form but i'd like to try this:

Haynes could do an interesting emphasis on the more melodramatic/romantic aspects of the novel that would be lush under his watch. Cate Blanchett as Anna and I'm unsure of other roles.

This is weird. First, a Brando old enough to play Ahab would almost be too fat to stand on two legs, never mind one. Second, Queequeg would be better younger and more jacked. Khal Drogo comes to mind. Better yet, some non-actor head-to-toe tattooed Maori motherfucker. And Hitchcock doesn't seem to fit. The old school director I could see nailing it is David Lean.

Good except for Tarantino and Hal being in high school and Andrew Garfield never convincing anyone he is a pussy slaying NFL player and Mario isn't in his 40s.

Random thought: I bet Danny McBride would make a good Gately. It would be the role that establishes him as a legit actor, though he might not be big enough.
